If you've ever had a house cat take to not liking you imagine it being three times that size so not pleasant I'd say. I've got one in my living room.

@rookhawk I’m not saying they or the score system should be abolished. Can’t say one way or another on that subject. I think the end game is simply getting more people to see the light on the benefits of the system. We will never have total support. I think the other points you make is sound...

Understand and when put in that light very poor choice to spread the message, someone else can spread the message I simply used them as there kind of the big one as a result of years doing it. While it may look like SCI doesn’t care about more then money to the average joe. Ive seen first hand...

It may have been said by others in the thread. However if we truly wish to combat these things we need to have education campaigns of our own to combat the lies and attacks they perpetuate. It’s not enough to give the information that what we do helps conservation or feeding villages after the...

35 Remington from a Model 8

I like old classic cartridges especially in classic rifles. She looks to be a fine specimen. Is it fair to presume comparable ballistics to say 300WM?

Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad would be good. Another to look at would be adding some weight to the stock.

I wear Danners daily myself. The “Acadia” style with vibram soles. I have three pair two of Ft. Lewis for work that get rotated and one for home/hiking/hunting. My pair for HHH use are Canadians the next will likely be the grouse model dark brown with khaki gortex where my current are all...

Beautiful ActionBob. Looked for one for some time and when they discontinued It didn’t appear they had any in the supply chain that day cause no one had them in stock I saw.

35 wheelen would likely be easy enough. 458 Win Mag has been done so anything there down at least would be possible. Same outfit did 338 as I recall.

Most certainly understand.

Ruger made the M77 on the 9.3 I believe there’s a couple on GB in the 1k range been looking at one myself. ETa: Just checked there’s still two on there. African models wood and blue 23” tubes both listed as new. I have no affiliation with either. Not sure if acceptable but there’s the links. If...

I’ve got a 10ga 3 1/2” SxS and would settle for some quality loadings similar to those that would have been found when 10 and 8 bore was used as stopping guns. Mine started out as a 32” gun that was shortened with new beads installed. Couldn’t find anyone who could install rifle sights from my...

I love my CZ550 in 375 great heavy low recoiling medium bore with a nice crisp trigger follow up shots are great. I would recommend practicing with some good heavy loads to get a feel for it to me it is simular to a trap load in a coach gun. Mine came with good quality straight grain walnut that...

I have to say thank you to all. And to everyone warning about the addiction. Don't worry I've already been thinking about jumping up. Thought maybe going to 458 Win mag. Just because of the classic caliber. Plus I won't have to buy yet another type of brass lol. I'd really like a double but...

When ordered through my local shop it was ordered as a American Safari. I saw pictures of some with cross bolts and some without. When it showed up it was that rifle. I am very happy with the rifle it's far nicer then excepted. The wood I think is very nice. Fit and finish is exceptional. Only...

Thinking first blood will have to be a little closer to home. About six hours on the road and I can shoot Russian boar. Hunts are priced very affordably and it'll give me a chance in the closer future to use the rifle. Though I sure would like to cross the pond. If I could only find a winning...

It finally arrived today. I'm now the proud owner of a 550 in 375. Figured I'd give a Unboxing review. Box was rather plain brown cardboard with a Gal shooting a CZ rifle on the lid. When I opened it up the rifle was packed well within styrofoam and wrapped in oiled plastic. The rifle had...

Not sure what a Viper would eat but a small rodent being striked at makes a very impressive mount which doesn't require much space. I apprenticed to do taxidermy when in high school for about one year. When I started my teacher had just completed a rattlesnake striking a fox squirrel very...

Seems like the majority of folks like 4350. I shall give it a try first hopefully it suits me as it has you gentleman. Thank you. Also will give Norma brass a try don't mind to spend money if I'm getting a high quality product. Thank you all very much I appreciate the help greatly. Will let...

My new CZ 550 rifle is supposed to be here tomorrow. I'm hoping to start loading very soon. I have purchased two boxes of Hornady DGS for the mean time. Want to see with you fine gents on powder selection for the 300s. I already have a set of dies for it. Also will be using Winchester Primers...

Kudu killer, Being in the same profession I understand the money tight issue fully it took me about three months to have enough set back for my rifle. I have been looking at Nikon in the Monarch line they make a 1-4x with a German Number 3. As well as other reticles. I'm planning on one of...

Now that I have got my CZ on the way I am wanting to purchase a good Shooting/Safari type Vest. I'm hoping you fine Gentleman may be so kind as to point me in the right direction. I wish to get one that is in a color suitable for Africa though I have never been and it maybe some time before I...

Well I finally located a M70 and a CZ550 to shoulder. The CZ was in a 458. The M70 was in a 30 caliber can't remeber which. After shouldering the two I feel in love with the CZ for me it fit quite well seemed to drop a touch more in the heel. I began paying down at my local gun store where I...

Earlier I started a thread on help choosing a medium bore cartridge. I believe I have decided to go with the 375H&H. However I haven't been able to narrow down rifles. I have decided to either purchase a CZ550 American Safari or the M70 Winchester Safari Express. Please give me some pros and...

Thank you all so much for your help I believe I shall stick to the 375 H&H. For now one day I hope to have a double rifle. However my large double for now will remain my 10 loaded with slug. LOL now that is a hoot to shoot. The 375 will probably only lead to more larger rifles I'm sure.

I had not realized previously the cost of brass for the Rigby. I figured it was on par with the other two mentioned. With the cost of brass I believe I will be sticking with the 375 or 458. I am leaning more towards the 375 as it seems to be far more versatile. I suppose between the two. The...

What type of range should one expect with a heavy bullet in 416 as most are saying this is a good blend of both.... Thank you all so very much for your time to reply I appreciate insight from people in the field whom have experience with these things... To Enysse I would have to whole...

I have been searching all over on ballistics. However it seems that every search leads to opinions of varying performance. I am not planning a hunt to the dark continent anytime soon. However I have always wanted to go and hope that someday I may get to. In the mean time I want a rifle to curve...
