    Please post a pic of Winchester 760

    760 does not have random diff spherical pieces...you couldn't pay me to load with an unknown combination. You are only talking about one pound....and maybe your left hand.

    Where to move to?

    You would think there would be a revolution against the leftist governments, but then, that's why they always try to disarm you first. Is EU going to just cave to these problems without a fight? What does UK think they are going to eat without farmers??!!

    Does the price of ammo impact your choice of a rifle caliber

    For shooting paper or ringing long range bells, yes. Cost consideration is tied to volume. For hunting, it is as irrelevant to me as the priority or cost of premium bullets--there is little volume involved in the equation. But if I really liked a double or a drilling for the fit, wood and...

    What’s the One Piece of Hunting Gear You Can’t Live Without?

    Good binoculars, if I have the sense to make use of them. I don't have the game spotting ability of Bemaa's wife, until I lift the binos. The only whitetail deer I have successfully stalked would have in no way been accomplished without them. Super early and late--no contest. More important than...

    Bullets that well advertised but were not that great

    COMPLETELY agree in most cases...however there was one big, good model that was a fast cutter. That's why I said "of all things, a Poulan"

    Bringing 2 guns on a dangerous game hunt?

    Agree. It occurs to me that the beauty of a double is redundancy--two separate mechanisms so that at least one will work. With two rifles you have redundancy--but only if they are in the same ballpark in power. (after all, one seldom hears of a double with two different calibers?) The 9.3 can do...

    7x57 factory ammo

    +1 on stocking up on the EU variants--but especially since they load full bore for the 7x57, not being fearful someone will use them in an older, weaker action. Check all choices to see if you are comparing apples to apples on velocities.

    Any reason not to use a 350 grain .375 bullet for buffalo

    8mm rem mag for PG

    The 375 would be versatile if you were to be offered to shoot DG as an upgrade, or if you stumbled onto a PAC situation. Same bolt throw as the 8mm too. I never thought about an 8mmRM being an upgrade on a 300 H&H, but I guess that's exactly what it is, and factory loaded higher, to boot.
