    Shooting vs Hunting / A Growing Ethical Issue

    Like many here , I don’t care for the uber long range hunting that is being popularized now. The improvement to scopes , rifles and exposure on media has obviously fueled the trend. They even have guys going after turkeys with 410 and TSS shells at unheard of ranges. Unfortunately I do not...

    Fausti shotgun

    Picked it up today. I don’t think it’s ever been shot. I contacted Fausti USA for more information. Really wish I had its story. But the more I handle it the more I like it.

    When to start a youngster on his first safari?

    Planning ahead a few years, But thinking about when to take my grandson on a safari,when they are about 10 years old. Depending on size, maturity and hunting desire. Going after members of the Tiny Ten , impala, etc. Something that a small bore can handle well, Probably South africa for ease...

    Looking for more reach then my .375 ..options?

    This thread’s gotten a bit sidetracked, but here’s my two cents for the OP: If that’s all you’re looking to do and you already have a .375 H&H, I’d just work up a snappy 225–250 grain load and pair it with a scope you can dial. Something in the 10–12x top-end magnification range should serve...

    M70 , 1958 375hh value

    Thank you for the response. To answer your questions, I do really like the rifle. And no I doubt I can get a better looking or shooting rifle than what I paid for it. It will shoot a Barnes 300gr tsx around 1 inch or better at 100 yards routinely. Per a previous poster’s recommendation...

    M70 , 1958 375hh value

    I picked up a M70 in 375HH. Serial number puts it as a 1958 manufacturer. I know nothing else about the rifle. Except it shoots well and I am very satisfied with it. But I have a nagging burning question. What is it really worth? Did I pay too much or did I get a deal? If some would offer...

    Is 5-6 days hunting enough time?

    yes its possible, but to me its not worth the trouble of traveling that far for 7 days of hunting, I prefer 10-14 just to not feel rushed, see the sights and actually hunt. It also depends on where and who you are hunting with.

    A Hunt to Remember I’ll do my best to share the story of this hunt, because it was truly unique—possibly a once-in-a-lifetime event. The morning began like any other late-spring turkey hunt. My companions met me at the farm well before first light. The property is an old family farm, passed...

    Identification, Remington 870 chamber/gauge?

    The magnum recievers (3inch) had a M as the last digit of the serial number if memory serves me correct. Also the ejector on the 2 3/4 recievers is to far forward to relialbly eject the 3 inch shell. The 3-1/2 inch reciver the bolt has a shroud to allow it to collapse and move reward further...
