My favorite was 3031 using Hornady 350gr SP’s…….Very accurate in my Shilo Sharps Hunter.

My choices have been in the endangered category for decades. First would be a Tiger, a close second would be the Black Rino. My firearms of choice would be my Whitworth 375H&H, and 500-450 H&H.

Still have mine owned for 40 years, used in Africa. Shot everything from Impala to Cape Buffalo. A fine rifle!!!

Did my hunt of a lifetime a few decades ago for African Lion in Botswana….tracked on foot. Would really like to do it again, but not sure it’s possible to replicate, due to cost, achieving the same hunt parameters, and…..My “Spring Chicken” days are well behind me…….But….. If I can pull it off...

My current competition load. Seated .015" off the lands.

I got into PRS/NRL22 when it was first gaining popularity back in the 2016 time frame. My buddy and I had shot various long range precision shooting venues for several years(ie.vintage sniper, egg shoots, Silhouette, etc.), At the time, well over 80% of the PRS match participants were new to...

I like my Evolution bipod. I pack a set of the short extension legs for the high brush/grass, sitting shots.

223WSM….

I’d keep it simple and opt for a 300WM with some weight(+12 pounds). Liight recoil with a good brake, easy to load, accurate, sufficient energy for elk at 1000 yards, and a good selection of well proven bullets( ie 210 Berger). IMO…

I really like the Hunters Wedge Mini Bag w/ bottom spacer.

Won a couple of Savage 22’s at various competitions some years back(TR and BSS). They surely performed well on the 50 yard line for my informal competition and hunting. When I decided to get into rimfire PRS, I decided give them a try before shopping for a dedicated rifle of one of the popular...

YES…Good listen! An excellent book that discusses this topic in detail is Bryan Litz’s book “Accracy and Precision for Long Shooting”. His term is WEZ….Weapon Employment Zone. His caveat is that the two “indeterminates” are wind and cartridge to cartridge variation. Given the...

After trying just about everything, I settled on Clenzoil for metal, wood, and synthetic finishes. Does not harm wood finishes(including oil finishes) and maintains the lubricity of the moving parts when subjected to moisture, carboin, and dust. I will always dry out a gun that has been exposed...

Don’t know about 100 shots, and I’d be loathe to **** away the barrel life of my go-to hunter trying it. Surely a viable/doable exercise with a PRS rig where that accuracy/volume is necessary to compete. But I’ll do 10 for 10 shots cold/warm bore at 600 yards into 1 MOA with my hunting rifle…...

My first 3+ decades of hunting, I used walnut stocks exclusively. While I switched about 20 years ago to synthetics when I extended my hunting range beyond 500 yards, I would still very much prefer a a wood stock by a wide margin simply for the beauty and feel…which,IMO, improves with use and...
