Charles, since you and mum are good friends, I will not mention to her that your thinking of anything but a cut rifle barrel. You don't want her and Scotty both after you lol. I also voted Krieger on a previous thread-----However: Holland and Holland will sell you a barrel and they are not...

Dr Mike, Cheyenne, Alaska members Our family has a friend who is moving back to Alaska from Africa. She uses a 280 Ross, that was given too her from her grandfather before he passed away. She likes the rifle and caliber and currently has no problem finding Woodleigh .287 bullets for her rifle...

Cheyenne, I realize your main reason for getting the 244 was to expand your H & H collection and to that end congratulations. I am sure it will reach waaaay out there and down down a wolf, but I have some concern about the pelt, since I know you sell them. I have no reloading advise for this...

Congratulations on your hunt Mr Miner. Does Mrs Miner accompany you on your trips ? Nothing wrong with the 30-06, we still use and trust the ancient 300 H & H in our family, well except for dad and he has a Weatherby fetish. Best Regards Jamila

There is a reason the Kudu earned the nickname "the grey ghost" ,as they can just disappear in the blink of an eye The Cape Grysbok is one ion the hardest to find and hunt, but not necessarily exhausting, unless you include exhausting your patience. I think for myself, tracking and finishing a...

it wasn't easy but the final result is pretty darn sweet Charles Do you regret the 9.3 x 64 ? would you have gone a different way if you had it to do over again. ? Was you unable to get the Northforks to work, so went with Nosler ? My mum loves the 64, a lot of folks like the 62 but she...

Yeah Dr Mike, you have to watch that girl lol pjgunner, this particular caliber is a favorite in Africa because of its lack of recoil, at least in comparison to other Africa favorites. 416 rigby, 416 Weatherby, 458 winchester, 458 Lott and the 450/400. the 404 is closer to the 375 H & H which...

Brooke, if for any reason your family decides not to buy this rifle, let me know and if it is original and at least 89% or better we will buy it. This is for sure a classic that can be used for bears as it has done very well in the past with lions. Kynoch offers a 270 grain bullet that works...

Thanks to everyone for their replies Dr Mike, hope you find one Hodgeman, you are so right about the scopes and the using of them Paul, that is so sad, hope you find another one to your liking Dewey and Gil, My dad has the MS 6.5 x 54 "Carbine". They made a long rifle at approx 4 feet...

My dad has a few of these, mainly small calibers 6.5 x 54, 6.5 x 55, 7 x 57 type calibers. They are still seen and used in Europe, but I don't see them discussed much in the colonies. They have the hard to keep accurate label attached to them, and I doubt any one uses them as a walking stick...

my sentiments exactly Gerry Guy, I also have enjoyed reading Ruark. I have never used the 244 H & H and I must be honest and tell you that I have never seen it used. But the reverse of that is I have used the 375 H & H and have seen it in use often. If you were to take only one rifle to...

Wow Fotis that is one sweet rifle. Great shot ! I love the Swede, but I think your 6.5 is a little more gun than mine. Actually it is a lot more gun. Fotis, do you hunt sheep in your area and if so will you use this sweet little rifle for that hunt as well, or is it a deer and antelope gun...

Brooke, sorry I am late. Got the message the other day but I have been really busy. My dad is the dye in the wool bird hunter in our family and he said if you can handle the weight he prefers the Browning Gold 10 for Geese hunting. He said surprisingly because of the weight of the shotgun the...

Sir, I agree with Dr. Mike and will go a step further. The RUM is set up already, you know the rifle and scope and have 100% confidence in that combination. Who says it is overkill and who cares if they say it. Whenever I venture out on a DG hunt, I take the rifle ( and scope ) that I feel...

Bryce, You mention the 375 ( 38/55 ) It just depends on what you want the rifle for, collectable, hunting, brush hunting, open plains hunting, whitetail or buffalo. My father collects lever actions and has a lot of them. From my experience with them and listening to my father and others I...

Dr Mike My mum told me that you know this fellow or you knew his partner. They have now dissolved their partnership I believe. Homer, those air not just beautiful but extremely well made, congratulations to your mate Best Regards Jamila

(-:----without a doubt brings to mind two stories Guy 1. when my father was hunting lion with a muzzleloader and had mum backing him up, he said he always made sure she wasn't mad at him before the hunt (-; 2. When mum was hunting Marco Polo a few years back, she literally covered herself in...

Charles, and you can rest assured my parents feel the same way about you. you are spot on about mum, but you might want to add "ex" to rodeo rider when speaking about my dad. But he still loves his horses. in reference to a pack. My mum uses young men, but as you know she is a little...

Plains game, sometimes but only if they are equipped with quick detachable mounts. DG--never I was raised carrying my rifle on my shoulder ( Africa Carry ) and still do so. The "safari slings" are used a lot by the locals, but I don't use them. Best Regards Jamila I am really on the fly...

Dr Mike, Guy and truck driver--thank you for your posts. also congratulations America on an excellent olympics. We ( Namibia ) won 0 medals in 2016. But you Americans did very well, with the highest gold and overall medal count, congratulations
