what a cool caliber! I remember looking at that in my dad's reloading book as a kid wishing we had cool stuff like that.

Trying to verify those MOA marks will be tough. Local range is closed yesterday and this weekend for a cowboy action shoot. I guess I'll be looking across my basement with a tape measure on the wall! thanks

In a couple weeks be heading to WV (1500-1800ft elevation) to go hunting with my son. I invited my uncle to come and he really wants me to bring his dad's 8mm Mauser to hunt with. Most shots will be 50yds to a food plot or 200-300yds with 350-400 an absolute max. Here's where my heartburn...

Do the right thing for your comfort level. With all the Virtue Signaling going on here I'm surprised they haven't deleted the thread yet.

I don't think so. Mostly outdoors stories are just that like fishing stories. Somehow Brown Bear carry a myth about them being invincible etc. This is based likely on fear not fact. The data is contrary. Just a few years ago a Guide stopped one mean dude with some good underwood or Buffalo...

In 2011 I used the 208 A-MAX out of the 300WM at ~2900fps on African Plains Animals. Super accurate but NOT impressed in its ability to deliver DRT performance. A few years ago it was a different story using the 212gr ELD-X out of the same rifle. Both very memorable hunts but for...

Its still EXTREMELY popular in Africa. since 223 is on the evil list

While I may have overstated this is a little more accurate especially that last line. https://bccla.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/powers-of-conservation-officers.pdf Conservation Officers have special powers when there are “exigent circumstances.” Conservation Officers may do the following...

Well in WV the DNR does NOT need a Warrant to check your coolers in the back of a truck, search your Home and take you rifle for forensic testing, Take game meat for identification DNA vs. poached remains. They can do all of the above without even a complaint or even probable cause. I seen...

Range Attempt #2 to get sub MOA at 100yds has failed! Having fun though. going to strip barrel clean and start with a non-round nose bullet and single load. Anyone else noticed: 1. There aren't many folks accurizing lever guns? 2. The standard forum "experts" haven't weighed in yet!

For this I think we can make an exception! Good luck

Longest Distance to maintain 1 MOA 3 shot group wins Rules are simple: 1. Must be a 30-30 LEVER ACTION Only 2. Can only shoot 5 shots at any distance, 3 are grouped for score 3. bench rest, sights, scope, loading single bullets at a time are all fair game I have a feeling this maybe more...

I agree 100%. I too have had good results with Zeiss warranty but also they tend to never repair but replace. Sometime sentiment is worth more than the scope. Had too many dollars wasted on equipment that wasn't worth the scrap metal it was made of , but nothing worse than Bushnell or Leupold...

I'm a retired Marine whose a contractor for the ARMY. The Lickys and chewies are what we called Pogey Bait. Basically all the candies and junk food from the roach coach or the shopette. We now use it to describe all the extras and accessories. The FURY came with all kinds of harnesses and...

I was an early adopter of Vortex and I paid the price with issues. So I really moved away from them about 10 years ago. I did purchase a set of the Vulture Coyote 8.5x50 Binoculars and they were amazing $200 binos (back in 2010) and I ditched my leupolds. These have been around the world with...
