    Need to pick a new barrel – 7 mm., .300 or 8 x 68 S ?

    I would suggest the 8x68Schüler. You might not be able to buy 175 different kinds of bullets in .323" like in all the other calibers, but one of the about +45 available bullets in .323" will do the job. Don´t worry..:LOL

    Shooting the Savage .22 Hi-Power

    Thanks for sharing Guy. I had a similar one Model H Takedown in .22HP. However I couldn´t that rifle to do a decent shotgroup. First shot printed "OK" near aimingpoint but the 2 other shots were something like 3-9" away. For years I tried to figur out why the rifle did like that and it...

    Hi Jamila. Have you ever considered a breakaction singleshot rifle?. There is imo. no sweeter to carry. A .375 H&H flanged?. Merry Christmas to you.

    My first Marlin

    Yep bet it won´t... I would like to have a .444 and an original 1895 in .45/70. The .338 Marlin Express also bugs the mind a few times.

    My first Marlin

    Many years(1983) ago I started with a M94 in .30-30. Later I sold that one and got two Pre WW 1 M1894s in .30-30(which I later sold also). Never owned a Marlin rifle before and sort wanted to back to the ol´.30-30 I thought I could swat two flies in one smack... The Marlin below is fra...

    .270Weatherby VS .27 Nosler

    I will settle with the .270Bee. Next time a rebarrel I´ll go for the .27Nosler(or a .28Nosler). A rechamber job would cost 2 reamers + a few manhours(destock, debarrel + lathe) + I have to make up ammo for the gunsmith for testfeeding/ejection & testfire. Thanks for the inputs. Both...

    .270Weatherby VS .27 Nosler

    My Lilja barreled M70 is over-the-hill. Barrel no good any more. I have had a new barrel made up in .270weatherby again and now have second thoughts. The barrel is reamed already in .270wea and I am thinking to have it "cleaned out" with a .27Nosler reamer in that frail hope the .27Nosler case...

    Of to Africa..

    I wanted buffalo to begin with but I sort of withdrew myself because I felt it was too much to pay for a very short stalk(spot and plug) in Limpopo. For me a buffalo hunt should take a long time hunting on foot in the wild(free ranging or at least some +70000hkt land). I didn´t come to shoot but...

    Of to Africa..

    Not to push(Maybe a little :mrgreen: )...but if you went two persons, there is some expenses you could share like the driving. I can recommend Makopong Safaries in kalahari. Very fair prices, good accomodation. It is a selfcatering camp officially but everything can be arranged so you will...

    South Africa Hunt

    Thanks for sharing. I too just returned also. Kuduhunt is a difficult hunt on foot. You can sit in the car and spot them but once on foot they know better. Congratulations.

    Two Mausers for me..

    I have just bought a Mauser 66S in 6,5x68 and a Mauser M410b .22Lr in Germany. Mauser66 Mauser 410b I have handled many Mauser66 in time but never fired one. I have had the itch for a 6,5x68Schüler for many years but never could find the platform for this cartridge. The Mauser66 was...

    Hey Guys. I am of to SouthAfrica tomorrow in the small hope to hunt a female Buffalo...with perhaps eland & Kudu in kalahari. I haven´t yet seen the conditions the female Buffalo can be hunted in but if the conditions are good where the terrain is difficult and the animals are wild I will take...

    Woodleigh 310 zero question?

    That´s what will happened. I use 300grain .333cal bullets for larger game and one can actually hear very clearly hear the bullet impact. I have experienced quit a few times the bullet is pushing air and then the "Whomp n´bumb". I have shot the Woodleigh 310grain in an old Rigby rifle but...

    Winchester Model 65 - .218 Bee

    Interestingly until just 10-15 years ago nobody had interest in these none-western(post wildwest period) Winchester rifles. Even though back then the M65 in .218Bee was scarce not many collectors wanted them and a prime speciem could be picked up her & there for 700-1000 USD max. I have had one...
