I hunt the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It is in the extreme south, about 65 miles N/E of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Go to KIKUYU LODGE SAFARIS.

I have used the 165 .277 Matrix on 1 Oryx in New Mexico, Oryx, Wildebeest, Kudu, , Blesbok, Impala, Springbuck, and Steenbuck in Africa. All 1 shot kills except the Africa Oryx, and he was at 605 yards. It took two for him. He was dead on his feet, the second shot was insurance. My rifle is...

Thanks for your input. I went to their Web site, and was impressed. I will be talking to these folks first thing Monday morning. I bought that **** CA for an upcoming trip back to Africa, and after 3 months of trying every thing under the sun that I could think of, I finally threw in the...

About 3 months ago I was having what I thought was a great day, I got myself a Christensen Arms Rifle!! Today was a much better day, I finally got rid of that PIG!!

I need to add that on my TIKKA, IT IS 3.050 TO THE LANDS, MY LOAD OF 3.035 IS .015 OFF THE LANDS AND MUZZLE VEL. IS 3007 FRS.

I feel the need to share some cool stuff with a TIKKA T3 LITE IN 270 WSM. I use 165 MATRIX (BC .731) w/68 grs. RETUMBO. I had a standard magazine so I was limited to 2.870 OAL. I went out early this AM (cuz the wind always blows here in Northern New Mexico). This combo shot well, but when I...

The Leica glass is excellent, the best that I have used which includes most of the top rated scopes I/e NF, S&B, Leupold, Vortex etc. The adjustments are smack on, the only downer that I have found is the limited MOA of vertical travel, which I somewhat cured w/ the 20 MOA base. The vertical...

I just recently bought myself one of the new Leica 3.5x14 IBS G7 rifle scopes. I have tried most of the others IE/ S&B, NF, Huskemaw etc. etc. The Leica is the hands down stand out for clarity.... but... be aware of the limited MOA of travel if your main objective is LR shooting. The vertical...

I use nothing except HUSKEMAW, cuz that's what you use and it works.

I just received an e-mail from Long Range Hunter on Huskemaw Scopes and found it to be spot on! I live in Northern New Mexico, 100 miles from Pagosa Springs, Colo. and 110 miles from Chama, New Mexico. This is the heart of big game hunting. Being retired, I work part time in a large...

Huskemaw @ just under $1300, Vortex HSLR just under $900. In 2012 I took an Oryx in New Mex. and an Oryx/Gemsbok plus 5 more head of plains game in Africa w/ the Huskemaw so I admit partiallity. Ranges from 187 yards up to 605 yards.

I just mounted one of the new Vortex VHS 4X16X50 LR ffp on a Remington 308 LTR. It is a good thing for long range shooting, and easy to use, but the reticle is a bit "busy" for my taste in a hunting scope. I have tried a lot of differant optics, and I still prefer the HUSKEMAW for speed and...

Hock the farm, live on Roman Noodles, do whatever it takes. Hunting Plains Game in Africa costs a lot less than most people think!! It was on my "Bucket List"!! Now it's on my "Semi Bucket List". I'm going back ASAP. I live in Northern New Mexico, I can go to Africa for a 7 day hunt cheaper...

I recently went to Africa on a Plains Game Safari. I took a 270 WSM as a second rifle. I took my first head of game with the 270WSM with the 165 Matrix Bullet.I was so impressed that I used it exclusively. When I first started Matrix bullets, I was skeptical about the claimed BC, but after...
