    9.3x62 vs .375 h&h

    Oddly enough, in Alaska it seems that 9.3x62 is about as common as 375 H&H... Meaning only a few special shops have it in stock in small quantities and we can't order online, at least easily. I really do wish the 338 RCM were supported by Ruger and Hornady. It's a brilliant little cartridge and...

    Well I appreciate all the help on the fmj vs hard cast vs solid debate

    Mauser M18 vs M12

    The top loading is good to know, that's exactly the kind of info I was after, thank you

    9.3x62 vs .375 h&h

    OP here, I should rephrase, my title is misleading. I'm looking for a rifle first, then the cartridge. I can't find many current rifles in either.

    Mauser M18 vs M12

    What's the difference?? Neither are based on the old 98 and seem to be short throw push feeds. I know the M12 will have better finish quality. But engineering wise, what's different? Action? Bolt and lugs? Extractor/ejector? Barrel attachment?? I'm really intrigued by the Sauer 100 and Mauser...

    9.3x62 vs .375 h&h

    I'm considering a big boy rifle for brown bear and maybe moose. I currently hunt with a 338 RCM and want a legendary cartridge that won't get dropped (I'm grumpy with Hornady). I know the 9.3 vs 375 has been beat to death. Both are great, but I like the idea of the 9.3 more. But will still...

    Gorgeous! What took so long to get it in?

    CZ 600 new models?

    Yeah they use a screw on built handle like so many others. The alpha models that I have use a plastic ball on a metal bar. Sadly, it makes the one thing you manipulate feel so cheap. My biggest beef with the rifle. Again, other than them creating a CZ600 "Mountain" with the alpha body, light...

    CZ 600 new models?

    Update: CZ 600 "American". If I would have searched for 5 more minutes instead of posting, I would have seen it. Basically the Lux with a thin barrel and no irons. More American shaped wood stock. Make it in synthetic with the aluminum receiver for a mountain rifle and I might get a third...

    CZ 600 new models?

    CZ 600 new models?

    I half agree. It should not have replaced their other lines. It should have been a 'modern' style addition. It's a great rifle with great features considering I snagged my 6.5 for $600 and 30-06 will be a tad over $350 after sale plus rebate. The recall was a hot mess but also dumb since it's...

    CZ 600 new models?

    Also, they may use ST1, ST2, ST3 for action length, as evidenced by some Lux models. Seems this might be a new model all the same. Either way, here's hoping.

    CZ 600 new models?

    As always, I'm always scrolling Euro Optic website and noticed they have a new rifle listed in their SKUs but no info. Same way I saw the Steyr Prohunter iii were coming out. Listed as "ST2" and "ST3". But nothing else other than listings being built into their site. Can't see how those...

    30-06 velocity and barrel length

    I know this has been beat down before, but looking for fresh data. I scored a CZ600 in 30-06 for $350 (after rebate) and waiting for it to come in. If it shoots like my Creedmoor, it should be an easily consistent sub MOA rifle. But the velocity out of the 20" barrel concerns me. I might want...
