Agreed. If someone is seriously considering buying this I’d recommend looking at a custom. You can get some really nice left handed ones with slick actions and beautiful artwork for 6000 dollars

The simple truth is that lefty magnum rifles barely exist, and dangerous game rifles are even rarer. I’m a left handed shooter and I generally find that most left handed rifles sell when they’re $100-$200 more than an equivalent righty. Lefty shooters are willing to pay a small premium, but...

Remember we are the carbon they want to reduce. The same people who extoll us on our climate footprint create more emissions on a single private jet flight to their summits than the average American makes in their entire lives. The same people lecturing us on rising sea levels keep buying...

For a frame of reference I was like you and was totally comfortable with hot 45-70 so I figured a step up to 375 h&h wouldn’t be too much. My 375 is by no means painful, but it takes more work on my part to keep her on target. The best way i can describe it is the 375 isn’t held down by it’s own...

This is push feed.

Unfortunately I haven’t zeroed it yet we’ve had nothing but windy rainy weekends. I insist on zeroing in broad daylight when I can see clearly and I’m not in a rush. I’m hopeful for this weekend though. i loaded 3 dummy rounds (dead primers and no powder) and they cycle every time but that...

Scope is mounted and bore sighted and ready for the range. Just need some clear weather to zero her

416 rigby has some pretty nifty performance, I’m especially intrigued by it’s penetration of armor. But I’ve never seen it for sale on a gunstore shelf. I can usually count on seeing 458 win mag next to 375 h&h at larger gun stores.

Jesus Christ is risen today! Alleluia

Wow didn’t know they were that slow

If you are ok with a push feed and waiting 8+ months er shaw will make you a bolt action rifle in anything up to 458 lott. They’ll even do lefty bolts for southpaws. And they cost about the same as a cz 550 did depending how tricked out you want it

I’ve always wanted to hunt an American Buffalo… but all my research has indicated it’s less hunting and more shooting a bison in a pen. Not quite the “dances with wolves” type adventure i dream of for a bison hunt. I definitely would use my 45-70 just because of the history.

Option 4: go big or go home. You already have the sensible 375-416. The only reason to go bigger is for the sake of going bigger. With sensibility and utility both out the window, search your heart. Say you get a 470, once you master it, will you want a bigger caliber? A 500 or 600 nitro? Or...

What changes about the power base? Pre russian invasion Ukraine gdp was ~5% of Russia’s. What wealth is there to be seized here? What power?

Russia has a GDP the size of texas. This isn’t the Soviet Union that ruled half the globe anymore. It’s a pathetic corrupt dictatorship limping along trying to relive it’s glory days. I’m happy to hand anyone who wants to kill russies a gun. But why are we funding their pensions and social...

Ukraine isn’t a priority. I’m still flabbergasted that we’ve sent so much money to a dinky little corrupt former combloc nation that’s not even a member of NATO.

You’ve hit the nail on the head with 2) right there. And that applies worldwide i think. There are so many people in this world that if you just left them to their own devices, all alone, without any outside interference at all, they would still find a way to make themselves miserable. And so...

The Republican ground game sucks, but that’s also because the Republican primary is real, while the democrat has already been picked from the beginning. I really think Desantis has it in him to win but he’s scared to run against trump and squander his shot. and that’s the one thing that sours...

you’re in the ballpark of a custom left handed 375 at 3k.

Hahaha cries in empty wallet amidst pile of guns

Receiver is drilled and tapped for savage 110 pattern 6-48 screws. Do skinners peep sights hold up to big bores? I always see them on .22lr rifles.

It’s been a busy few weeks but I finally got a chance to post this. My africa rifle arrived! It’s an ER Shawk MK VII chambered in 375 H&H magnum, 26 inch barrel, and all polished stainless barrel, action and bolt. I chose a laminate stock because it should be more dimensionally stable in...

Not to detract from the discussion but i bet we could resurrect 35 rem mag if we called it a 35 blackout or 35 prc or something.

Does permethrin treatment on your clothing work on pepper ticks? Or are they beyond that too?

To somebody it is I’m sure! The joy of a free market

go to some matches and see what the best are using. If there’s a longish distance portion it will completely change your build compared to a course where the longest is 50 yards my recommendation is to get yourself an 18” 223 wylde upper. It’s the shortest barrel that supports a rifle length...

My range and competition guns i only clean when accuracy deteriorates. My hunting rifles and especially my revolver are kept over oiled and spotless because my luck just happens to have me continually tromping in rain, mud, and snow, and I refuse to let those beauties rust. I only clean my...

I would propose that the real improvement these hornady cartridges make is for new shooters getting into it. For instance someone like me who doesn’t have a magnum caliber rifle… yet… a 7mm PRC is an awesome choice because it’s got the 7mm impact on target but all the high bc wizardry of new...

Because I want a damn canada goose!

9 degrees here today.

Excellent hunting story, and you recounted it well. I’m laughing at the mental picture of you guys wading through the crocodile infested zambezi where you literally just saw a massive croc poking for him.

It’s beautiful! As a fellow left hand rifle shooter I applaud you for bringing another left handed dangerous game rifle into the world! There’s few enough so every one counts

It’s also handy for hooking your opponent’s weapon to make openings.

dumb question, does the parking have any sort of height limit? I just recently acquired a much taller vehicle that doesn’t always fit places.

I have a special holster from shamrock holsters. It’s a cowboy gunslinger type belt and distributes the weight well. I’ve hiked miles and miles with it on. Would definitely recommend their work to anyone looking for a way to carry one of these.

You have exquisite taste. The BFR is an extremely fine platform for powerful calibers. I have a 10.5” BFR in 45-70 and I took my first deer ever with it. It holds a special place in my heart and I take every excuse to carry that revolver on my hip.

Vacation time? You mean hunting time right? I don’t know about my fellow Americans but first thing i do when vacation time refreshes is block out the first week of deer season.

Where do you get to hunt turkeys with rifles?

I did a long range shooting session with a friend this year. I brought my 308, he rented a 6.5 cm. It my first time taking my rifle beyond 200 yards, and his first with that rental gun ever. The performance difference really wasnt all that much inside of 800 yards. You could definitely get away...

Will you be at the 2023 SCI in Nashville?

set up your chair, kick all the leaves out from under your feet so you are on dirt and can fidget in silence, then throw blanket over lap and set your gun/crossbow on it then tuck your hands in. You’ll see plenty of deer at the fraction of the cost of a blind.

Sounds like fun looking forward to meeting y’all

I hunt from a soccer chair with a fleece blanket on my lap.

that doe was probably dead before she hit the ground. I know big bores aren’t the friendliest meat damage wise, but they sure are fun!

I dabble in long range shooting, and like to be able to stretch the definition of “reasonable distance” when the situation calls for it.

Interesting to see the ESEE knife being the overall best again. I recall them winning a survival knife ranking as well.

frankly if you use a laser rangefinder who cares about drop. You’re shooting at a Known distance, if you know your holdovers (mine are all written in my flip up scope cap) aim, click, bang! As long as you don’t run out of scope FoV at an extended distance you’re all set.

I dunno, I know the pendulum swings back and all that but the way the left has inserted themselves into corporations and institutions nationally and globally makes me concerned we are leaving the democratic era and entering a democrat one.

For free of course! The American taxpayer can foot the bill. I mean if Putin could blow something up that he thought would break Ukraine’s will he most certainly would. But they’re well resolved to defending themselves (as they should be.) I think you’re quite right that this is just hitting...

Nick, Do you have a left handed loaner rifle on site for those of us cursed to be wrong handed?
