What caliber rifle do you recommend?

Alaska Peninsula Hunts For Black, Grizzly and Kodiak Brown B...
In general, the ideal rifle for Alaska is the .300 magnum. With lighter bullet weights it is good for goat & sheep at long ranges and by using heavier bullet weights it can handle the big bears. If you are only hunting grizzly or brown bear the .375 magnum is recommended. In Alaska you will encounter a lot of moisture so a fiberglass stock is ideal. Plan to bring a minimum of two boxes of ammunition. Three boxes are even better.

What caliber do you recommend?

Axtell Rifle Co, The Riflesmith, Manufacturer of 1877 Sharps...
We believe that the 45/70 is the best all around caliber. This caliber will perform accurately at 50 yards out to 1000 yards, depending on bullet weight and powder load. In the 1800's, Military forces also backed the 45/70. By their standards, it was the best firearm caliber available. Aside from accuracy and recommendations, the 45/70 also has the highest resale value of the black powder cartridge rifles. It is easily one of the most popular calibers to-date.

What caliber rifle should I bring on an Africa hunting safari?

African Hunting Safaris | African Hunting Safari FAQ | Luxur...
This is one of the most frequently asked questions we get. The answer is that you should bring the rifle that you shoot the best with, as long as it meets the minimum legal standards for the country and game you are hunting. In general though for plains game any rifle above .270 Winchester will do fine as long as you use the best quality bullets available. For the .270 I would lean toward the heavier end of the bullet weights available.

In order to load the magazine tube, hold the gun upright with the barrel facing away from you and push the brass magazine tube follower up as far as possible.

How are rifle barrels refurbished?

Savage FAQ
Rifle barrels wear mainly in two areas ? the chamber throat area and the crown. The throat erodes due to the high temperature flame from the burning powder and the swaging of the bullet into the rifling grooves. Crowns are usually damaged during cleaning. Refurbished barrels have at least 1 inch cut off from the chamber area, and the chambers are extended using piloted reamers in a floating holder. Threads are extended or cut on a lathe with a single point threading tool.

Bison are extremely tough animals to bring down. George W. Brown hunted buffalo from 1870-1874 and recorded the following: "I used a big fifty caliber Sharps rifle.

How accurate is the rifle?

Welcome To BarryOzeroff.Com, the Cyberspace Home of author B...
Any police sniper rifle should be a sub-minute of angle gun. A minute of angle loosely translates to accuracy within one inch at 100 yards, two inches at 200 yards, etc. A sub-minute of angle gun is even more accurate than that. Say, the ability (based on the shooter) to consistently shoot within a half-inch at 100 yards, one inch at 200 yards, etc. Many police snipers I know carry a quarter with a perfect .308 bullet hole piercing it on their key chain as a testament to their shooting skill.

We have found many of the times it is not the size that counts so much it is the placement of the bullet which is far more important. You can shoot a deer or wild board with a 300 Win. or a 7MM Mag. but if you hit it in the gut it's going to run and we might find it or not. But if you use a 6MM or a .243 and hit a deer in the heart or neck and a wild boar behind the ear, there's a good chance you will have a trophy for your wall at home.
