    Classy rifle, that Caprivi. It definitely deserves good mounts and a good scope.

    Re: Need help choosing a scope for a .375

    What is this DGR you're trying to scope?

    The Conetrol System is exceptional - trim, tough, accurate and the Conetrol "extended" front bases are the best and trimmest extended bases I've ever used....

    Re: Need help choosing a scope for a .375

    SLG,

    To fully utilize the hunting capabilities of an accurate .375 H&H, I’d definitely recommend at least the VX-III 2.5-8.

    Over the years I used Leupold 1.5-5, 1.75-6 and 2.5-8 scopes on...

    Re: .270 Win barrel length

    I find myself agreeing with elmbow on this barrel-length thing. Overly short rifle barrels do SOUND like a great idea. But, IMHO, in the field their advantages become paper-thin and their...

    Re: 30-06 or 7mm Rem Mag.

    Isn't that kinda like buying a six-horse trailer when you only have one mule? At least that's how this old fogy would see it. It must be tough being so awestruck by Short "Mag-gnomes." :p

    Re: 30-06 or 7mm Rem Mag.

    When serving up ballistic gack comparisons between these two cartridges, I do wonder what bullet weights should be used?

    If the results are to be meaningful to most people, it would seem that we...

    Re: 30-06 or 7mm Rem Mag.

    This smells suspiciously like one of those “The Last Rifle I Will Ever Need” threads!? Still, in spite of its far-too-practical nature, it’s a good question.

    Don't over-think this. Just get to work, the sooner the better.

    Barrel length certainly affects velocity, but I’ve not found that going from, say, 22 inches down to 20 inches or maybe even 18.5 inches isn't all that much of a big performance-loss deal from a...
