    I have a Rifle article from 1999, on a Professionals Rifle. I would post it here if there was no concern. I have seen some old and great articles posted elsewhere on forums.

    9.3x62 barrel twist

    Any comments on a 9.3x62 with a 12 twist barrel? I would want to shoot the 286s for the most part.

    Getting my Zastava to feed 9.3x62

    I have a nice Zastava, SS, Mauser in 9.3x62, but it won't feed worth a dime. Actually It is mostly just the first round. With three total down. I am away form my main tools, and so this was a preliminary exploration with very little attempted, my main tool was a diamond broadhead file. I...

    Loading "Factory" Ammo

    So suppose one wanted to load a round that would have the safety and performance (roughly, they sometimes have different options than we do) of factory ammo. I can just go in and buy a box of ammo, sight a few, and go out and have at it. I can also lend them to a friend with a modern rifle and...

    Ruger 30mm rings

    I need to mount a 1x4, 30mm scope on my No 1. The rifle comes with 1 inch rings. Does Ruger make low 30mm rings. I couldn't decifer their "numerology", nor have I found anything for sale in that height. It seems to start at medium, but I can't really imagine why. Doesn't have to be Ruger...

    Monkey Control, India

    As widely reported in the international press, monkeys in India started to target dogs, possibly as the result of a dog on monkey infant attack. So far 250 dogs have been killed by the monkeys and the attacks have spread to a neighbouring town, and even to members of the human population...

    MTM cartridge box for 9.3x62?

    I need a box to store my 9.3x62 ammo in. I bought a box that was only partially successful, I think I have to store point down, it only works in one direction. That box is about 1000 miles distant at the moment. Choices appear to be 30-06 size boxes, or ones that handle up to .375 H&H. I...

    Techniques for heavy recoiling rifles

    Has anyone a clue as to what techniques work best with heavy recoiling rifles? I assume nobody does as there isn't any competition where better or worse methods could be worked out. In pistol shooting people thought they knew what worked, but it was only when various contests popped up that...

    Express Sights

    Most rear sights lean towards the shooter and often have horizontal grooves in them, both to use shadow to advantage to provide a cleaner sight picture. Express sights seem to lean towards the muzzle, and would seem to reflect glare. Any idea about that? History. Unrealized advantage to the...

    Killers in Africa - ALexander Lake

    Almost 40 years ago I read a copy of this book that our University had in it's collection. It made a strong impression on me as it contains some pretty amazing stuff. But it did have my BS sensors on high alert. A copy recently came to me from a friend who picked one up at a garage sale, and...

    Magnum Actions sources

    For ridiculous reasons, counterproductive even to their policy, you can't easily import parts to Canada from the US. Does anyone know a non-US source for actions that would take the 500 a-square? I have a barrel, so I thought I might give it a go.

    416 Ruger as a 375 Ruger stand in

    If I wanted to download the 416 to 375 DG performance levels, anyone have any ideas as to what is a reasonable benchmark? So the idea isn't necessarily to match 375 recoil levels, and definitely not to match say flat shooting plains game performance. The idea is more that given that the 375 is...
