I mounted a Swarovski Z3 3-9x36 on my Lipsey's Edition Model 77 RSI in 250 Savage in the Ruger rings, when I had it. It made a nice, light, and trim package with sufficient power for the cartridge. It also shot very well. It would put 3 shots into 0.421" at 100 yards with the Hornady 100 gr...

If you call Lipsey's they will give you the correct information. They have been good to talk to over the years.

B: Use it!!!

While I am more than happy to "enable" you, with a "get them all" reply, and then let them sort out which is most accurate, which is most efficient, and in the end, which one you like shooting best! :devilish: (Too bad you couldn't test fire them first!) From a biased standpoint, I would say...

There are at least a couple of threads here on the forum of others who have had recent adventures hunting and enjoying the nilgai meat. From all accounts that I have read, and seen on hunting shows, over the years, the nilgai is a challenging hunt, that you will work for it to get a good shot...

The airport security staff should be better educated as to what they are looking for and why; and taught that a "bullet" and a "cartridge" are two different things, and that a bullet, in its component form is not a dangerous item. They should also be taught that a cartridge by itself is not a...

Susan and I have a somewhat different recollection of that day's events 🤔 ...but the good Dr is a master storyteller and can twist a tall tale (er bunny tail) with the best of them!;)

Now Mike, Were you thinking of the rabbit misadventure... Or the "Aunt" road?

Have a great adventure! Look forward to your stories!

I too was a farm kid, and you took life to sustain life. No emotions here for having to kill to survive. It is the circle of life, that has sustained human kind for millenium. Without it, we wouldn't be here today. I am grateful for the sustenance. As for the family and friendships of those...

I liked how light and quick the Viper sticks were to set up (same as the 4 stable sticks) in more open terrain, as there is only two pints of contact on the ground. They are pretty stable as you get front and back support. (More stable than the Trigger stick, but not as stable as the Death Grip...

While I do not own a 35 Whelen, I have used one once on a cow elk. The 225 gr Corlokt worked fine. I wouldn't hesitate to use either of the 200 gr AccuBond, 220 gr Hot Cor, or 225 gr Sierra BTSP for bear in a 35 Whelen; but would choose the one that shoots best in your rifle. Your 358 Win load...

I have been looking at the Spartan Tripods too, but they start at over a grand. The Ascent (Woodland) is just under 4 lbs and is $1300. I have also been looking at the Hoplite for attaching to the rifle instead of the bipod, for a little more stability when mountain hunting. It weighs less than...

The set my wife has is heavy, and yes, I too am the one carrying it and setting it up for her. I was going to buy the carbon version for weight savings, but she got hers for Christmas from my Mom. I will probably get the carbon one yet, but it'll be later this fall as my daughter's wedding is...

Vince, Are you taking your own sticks, or using the PH's? Susan used the PH's Death Grip Bog Pod, while he had me use his Viper sticks when in Africa. In New Zealand, I took our Trigger Stick Tripod. Susan liked the Death Grip, and got a set for Christmas last year. She found it more stable...

Have a great time! Been a while since I enjoyed me some halibut cheeks!

DrMike has a great load with the ABLR in his 280 Rem...unfortunately, my rifle didn't like it all! But as it shoots so well with the 140 gr AB, I haven't bothered any further. Although, I only have a couple boxes of that Federal ammo left and they don't make it anymore, and as I want to use the...

When you have rifle/ammo combo that performs consistently like that, you use it as is, and maintain complete trust and confidence in it! I feel fortunate that I have a few rifles that perform like that! 😎 My LH Sako AV in 7MM STW is one, as is my LH Rem 700 300 WSM, and my LH Browning X Bolt in...

Really depends on the type of hunting and where you are hunting to determine boot type first...as late season can vary wildly as you move north! And then, as already mentioned, spend as much as you can afford, as unhappy feet make an unhappy hunter. This is NOT the place to be cheap on your...

Best of luck on your hunt! What ammo/load will you be using in your 264 on this hunt?
