Enjoying my favorite cigar and author outside this afternoon.


Curious as to what books others are enjoying at the moment or recently?

Greetings to you all. We have just finished a buffalo hunt, which I will be writing up, but the experience has left me seriously considering a larger calibre rifle, and the one on offer is a Blaser R8 in 500 Jeffrey. I shot one and the recoil was stout, but not extreme. What are your experiences?

I’m considering rebarreling a Tikka into 338 Federal with a 16-20” barrel. I have no experience in the calibre but like the look of the terminal performance.

My idea would be to shoot 180-250g monolithic bullets (Barnes TTSX, Virtus, NorthFork) predominately for red deer inside 300m but also as a potential plainsgame rifle.

Interested to hear anyone’s experience of their cartridge, especially with a short barrel!

Thanks

I just added another Big Bore to the Family - a Kimber 375 H&H

I received the rifle in hand today ... Absolutely near new ... What a wonderful gun from the early years of Kimber. Field test to follow.

Here is the original link. The pictures from Morris are much better than any I could show.
