Hi out there, I am wondering about the achievable accuracy of my Remington 700 Police (.300 WinMag). Up front, I shoot regularly and often with calibers >= 7 mm. I bought myself some month ago a Remington 700 Police in .300 WinMag, as I am keen to shoot long distance (>> 400 m). As this...

Hi out there, I bought myself a Remington 700 Police in 300 WinMag a while ago and am very satisfied with the rifle. I only found two negative aspects, one being the trigle which I found too hard to cope with especially for long range shootin. I fixed this problem by replacing it by a high end...

Hi out there! I got my Remington 700 Police in .300 WinMag with a Leupold Mark 4 8,5 - 25x50 mm ER/T mounted on it. Before going out sighting my "Baby" in, I wanted to gather some theoretical information on the effect of the MOA / Nr. of clicks on the point of impact at different distances...

Luck is with the patient ones! / Specifics of a "Drilling" @liltank:Hi Tank, Thanks for your interest. Well it is very easy; As the barrel of the bigger caliber of the "Drilling", in this case the 7x65R can't be adjusted separately, you zero this barrel with the scope at whatever distance you...

Luck is with the patient ones! and not with the "patent" ones. I called the topic "Luck is with the patent ones!" Unfortunately I wrote the word patient wrong. Apparently I can't edit the topic myself. I would like to put it right and have the topic changed to "Luck is with the patient ones!"...

Luck is with the patient ones! @ jerrschmitt: You are right, there are some fine guns and excellent gunsmiths in Germany but also in some other European countries. Regarding loss of patients below 0°C, I used to frees regularly during my winter hunting’s until an experienced hunter told me an...

Leica Rangemaster 1200 for import to Germany Hi out there, I intend also going for shooting distances above 400 m up to 1.000 m. As such I decided to get myself a Leica Rangemaster CRF 1200 (but in metric units). In Germany they cost round about 700 Euros (about 910 USD) and in good old US...

Luck is with the patient ones! Hi Brent, Hi all of you giving me your positive feed back. Thanks!! Indeed, the weapon is quit useful and not only for predators. One particular thing with the "Drillings" is that when shooting couple of rounds, one after another, out of the larger caliber...

Hi "m249", Thanks for the info and good luck were ever you are and keep your head down! Cheer, Christian

Hi Brent, I am glad that you liked it. You know, even as a not so inexperienced hunter, it is not so often that you have the chance of such a memorable night. For your information, the "Drilling" (in German it means: 3 barrels) is a Suhl (a famous gun smith town in the former East Germany)...

Sorry guys, but apparently I am denied access to the "Hunting Stories" chapter. May be I am too "Junior" for this! Allow me to try it in this way! Hi out there, As a newcomer I would like also to contribute a little from this side of the pond; Germany. I am a passionate hunter who has his...

@ Rimfire: Thanks for the hint! @ ICANHITHIMMAN: In my own hunting area in Germany, I will be shooting foxes at long distance but for my wild boars and raw deers I shall be using 7x65R or 7x64. My 300 Win Mag especially with ammo fit for long distance shooting will cause too much hematom at...

Hi there, Up until now I shot max. distances of 300 m. I was always impressed by the technique used by the professional snipers but did not really preoccupied myself with it. Now the time has come and I would like to learn from the professionals, at least from their techniques. Recently I...

Thanks for the info "roninflag"! I will now try systematically the ammo, which all of you suggested me and test their accuracy and come back to you later with my remarks and results. As I am not a "power" loader, I would prefer to get away with fabric loads before engaging myself in things which...
