Politics

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...

What's With The New Portuguese Made Winchester Model 70s These Days ?

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...

Looking for a good load for 375H&H

Got two bullet choices , a soft and a solid .

286Gr PMP solids and 300 Gr peregrine bushmaster expanding /softs.

Would like to get 4000 lbs of energy out of both or at least a good velocity for my solids as penetration is the goal with the solids.

Exchange of gunfire with poachers/armed men in the bush

A person who I know really well and who has been on numerous safaris with the same PH in Zimbabwe, told me years ago of an incident which happened in the early 2000's, where him and his PH exchanged gunfire with armed men in the bush. The trackers-staff had gone off to get the vehicle, which was 5 or 6 miles away, and at some point during the wait, they were approached by 3 men who were armed with rifles. They surprised each other, at which point one of the men fired off a round and then all...
