As per my other post about the new 500 Jeffrey acquisition a few of you asked, why the step up? It surprised me a little too, having always been a proponent of the 'enough gun, but not too much' tenet, but after our last hunt I just couldn't ignore the facts any longer.
I am only referring to our close group with buffalo results that I have personal experience upon, and here are the statistics:
1. Bull. 375 H&H. Soft. Gut shot possibly clipping a lung. 24 hr successful followup.
2. Bull...

I think I may have found my new favorite rifle for Africa. I picked this up recently and mounted a Meopta 1-6x scope. I stopped by the range to get the scope rough sighted to get ready for load development. It took 4 shots to get the scope adjusted close to center. The next three shots at 100 yards are pictured. This was a moderate load of H4831 in PPU brass with 285 grain PPU bullets. I hope A-Frames shoot this well!

Hello all, just wondering if there are any cigar smokers here on the forum. If so, let us know which is your favorite one!

I should subscribe to the 24 hour cooling off period, but I am pissed! I ordered a scope from EuroOptic on May 22, 2026, and delivery was attempted yesterday. I paid the premium ($20.25 for shipping protection) as suggested. I was not here for delivery yesterday, but notification from UPS states delivery will be attempted on the next delivery day (obviously today). In short, a delivery from a May 22, 2026 order isn't (attempted to be) delivered until May 28, and then as nobody was here...

I have never scoped myself and dont want to start! That being said I am probably obsessing to much about eye relief for a scope for my newly acquired 416 rigby.

For whatever reason I think I need 4-ish inches of eye relief as to not to add to my already terrible looks.

I would like to hunt a cape buffalo one day and also use the gun to hunt elk (yes I know its excessive for elk). Right now I am looking at vortex razor LH at 2x10 with 3.8 inches of eye relief with quick disconnects...
