The USA has labelled both Canada and the EU as threats to their "National Security" in order to justify new duties declared by their military Commander-in-Chief on the international trade of steel and aluminum. So I suggest that USA made products such as firearms and ammunition should be sold exclusively within the USA so Canada and Europe can help our esteemed neighbour defend themselves and improve their national security. Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that Canadians and Europeans...

By efficient, I mean which cartridges move a bigger bullet with less powderl, while providing greater velocity without increased powder capacity. For example, a 30'06 will move an equal weight of bullet faster and with less pressure than a 270 with equal loading, while a 35 Whelen will move a bigger bullet than the 30'06 at velocity for the heavy weight that the 30'06 can't match without exceeding safe pressure. (as well as the '06 requiring more powder to try and match it)
It seems to me...

1. Swift Break Away (see very few reviews)
2. Hornady DGS (one of the more readily available)
3. North Fork...

My Rigby pre-war .303 British.

Serial number 2121, is a very straightforward and honest example of an early Rigby sporting rifle. It’s built on the classic Mauser action and chambered for the .303 cartridge, which Rigby used often in this era because of its accuracy, mild recoil, and proven performance on deer-sized game. The rifle still has its original Rigby factory bases, the early pre-war style that were machined specifically for this model and fitted directly to the receiver. Sitting...
