I have been cut twice by a Leupold scope when shooting my muzzleloader off the bench with the scope on high power (3.6 inches of eye relief). I was considering upgrading to Swarovski on my 375 H&H and 458 win mag., but Swarovski only has a maximum of 3.74 inches of eye relief. Swarovski does have a rubber eye guard. Has anyone been cut by the Swarovski eye guard?

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.

387#’s of mutton. I think they look glorious.

We have a thread for cigars, another for whiskey. Figured I’d invite a crowd and start a thread for what is for dinner tonight.

I just completed a very successful safari and will be back home on Tuesday. But I saw something very disconcerting this time.

My white hunter's dangerous game backup rifle is a Portuguese Winchester Model 70 Safari Express chambered in .458 Winchester Magnum. He bought it brand new in 2024 and it looks extremely well cared for.

But here's the thing. He needs to lower the rifle down to his hip in order to cycle the bolt. When he raises the rifle to his shoulder and tries to cycle the bolt...
