    Help me pick my next R8 caliber

    Add a 30.06, perfect couple with 9.3x62 To me, a 300 would mate better with a 375

    Photography Suggestions

    I'm not a photographer my any means, but I'm trying to learn how to do with traditional film, camera roll. I know, I know... it's not as easy and you can't see the picture immediately. A roll contains just few shots. But a nice, printed pic...don't know : it seems deeper, more authentic, more...

    Some of our favorite cape buff photos...

    From all the above, my favorite is the first one. That look is something. And the other ones are great ones, too, with tons of caracter, old warriors indeed. The '53 one is for itself a beautiful pic, just because is so vintage. Never had the chance to hunting Buff, but sure I plan to do it -...

    Minox ZA5 HD 1.2-6x rifle scope

    Meopta scopes are Czech Republic made, great glasses, tough as a nail. The new Swar, in my opinion.

    Wanted 9.3x74r, Dakota #10 Or Ruger #1

    If I were you, I'd try to find a Ruger n.1, customizing it like the Heym/Ruger n.1 - in line with the tradition of the grand old catridge that 9,3x74 is

    A good Leatherman multitool is always a very welcome gift - sure you will give them cash/tip, but I usually add something more personal

    Which Second Rifle?

    Cogswell & Harrison 101% Beautiful rifle, and I also have a tender spot for C&H - one of the oldest and finest British gunmakers

    Comment by 'Phil Giordano' in media 'Brown Bear Hunt Alaska'

    Congratulations for this great achievement I really appreciate how you choosen to stay in the pitture, not "far behind", but just near to him : a great Bear like this does not need any magnification effect, and the pic just look more realistic and honest! Good job!

    Magnum primers for 308?

    Magnum primers for 308?

    Me, I have still more F215 than I will ever need to use - but at present day, Federal, Winch and CCI are extremely difficult to find. There are plenty of RWS and they're excellent. This issue with US made primers supply started 4 years ago...

    8x68S loading data needed

    My favourite caliber Vihtavuori works great for me, also you could find some good recipes in the Hornady manual, the only one who take care of our 8x68 Also powders like IMR4350, IMR 4831, Norma 204 and MRP come to mind

    Magnum primers for 308?

    To me - just an opinion - a magnum primer on a small quantity of fast powder, it's not an "ideal" recipe

    Magnum primers for 308?

    Morning Friends, there's a Gentleman out there who can tell me why Norma reccomend using Magnum Primers (WLRM) on 308, and many others standard (non magnum) cartridges as well?

    Fishing in Yukon

    I remenber, when he told me, I was crushed. You know, I live right in the middle of a big city (Rome, Italy), I'm half world from the Big Far North. I hunted US and Canada a good bunch of times, but that one rapresented for me the adventure of a lifetime. To me, hunting the Mountain Grizzly of...

    Fishing in Yukon

    My friend, thank you so much! Unfortunately, my Outfitter some months ago decided to retire and sell his business. He gave me back the depisit, and 3 years of planning, shooting, training, went to the wc. Very sad, and very disappointed. But we'll never know, maybe one day I will return a...

    Show Us Your Hunting Knife

    Yes I definitely agree with you. This n.1 is extremely well built. One of the best aspect of the Randalls, is that they are pretty unique. I have a lot of knives, but they feel different, to me. They talk about "old school" stuff, kind of item I dreamed to have when I was just a little boy, and...

    What's up with todays' gun shops?

    I'd say, here in Italy there are still lots of traditional gun shop, with plenty of hunting bolt actions, side by sides, express rifles and traditional handguns. Just like my shop, mainly because I like it that way. Sure it's also plenty (every day more and more), of black rifles and tactical...

    Show Us Your Hunting Knife

    Here it is, bought from a friend of mine just today! To me, one of the most beautiful model ever made - the Randall n.1 / 7". It's a current production Randall, made 10 years ago. I already have a model 19 made in the late '60s, and this one completes very well a set of two, skinner and general...

    300 Weatherby vs 300 Win Mag

    300 Weatherby vs 300 Win Mag

    Currently my 300 is a Wby and not a Win. But I had a Win, and I can honestly say that's a better caliber - less recoil, less jump, less heat sensitive, more accurate, it needs +/- 10 gr less powder to do more or less the same thing. Also the Win is at home in a 24" tube, where the Wby really...

    Schimidt & Bender 6x42 Rifle Scope

    In praise and defense of Wood & Blue

    ...and, another benefit of wood, is that you can fit and fine tune the stock to your personal lop and measures! Here, I'm working in order to change the pad - pic shows to old holes plugged, new holes ready!

    In praise and defense of Wood & Blue

    Well, just as the title says, these few lines - and the ones that will follow I hope - are in strenuous defense of rifles with wood stock, and blued steel. Sure a synthetic stock is more stable and makes a gun more accurate over time, doesn't wrap, doesn't scratch. And sure, a cerakote, inox or...

    Custom 460 weatherby

    I'm a medium/small frame hunter, and the largest caliber I can shot accurately is my 416 - so a 460wby is really too much for me. But, I do believe it's a great caliber and lot of fun! Only, I'd put a 26" barrel, there's a gallon of powder inside there, and it needs a long tube in my opinion, to...
