Burris made a Scout Scope base specifically for Remingtons, including 600/660 rifles. Takes some gunsmithing to fit it. http://www.burrisoptics.com/bases.html Also check out the XS Clifton Scout Scope base. It's a very similar design to my Ching Ring (Brent Clifton and I both worked on...

Wayne: Thanks for trying out the Safari Ching Sling. It's really not meant for target or competition shooting, as it's designed for fast in and out for hunting use, even though it can be as steady as a dedicated competition sling if properly used. Nevertheless, fast in and out of sling...

Lee Marvin's gun handling in "The Big Red One" looks like he's spent a lot of time with his weapon. Nothing flashy, just comfortable and natural with it.

My standard whitetail load in .260 Rem is a 125-grain Nosler Partition at 2700 fps. It's been responsible for a number of one-shot quick kills. With a top of the heart shot, the deer either fall in their tracks or run less than 30 yards.

In rifle parlance, "medium"--as opposed to "light" and "heavy"--generally means .338 through .375 caliber, but I'm sure you don't mean that. :D If by "medium" you mean something above "small bore" (.17 through .22 caliber), then I'm guessing that the caliber range you're referring to is from...

Personally, I would never modify an original No. 5, given their relative scarcity. There are outfits that make No. 5-style rifles out of No. 4s. They won't have the lightening cuts and the barrels will be heavier, but otherwise will look like No. 5s and be less prone to wandering zero due to...

The closest thing to a domestically produced "factory" double rifle of the classic type is by Butch Searcy in Boron, CA. http://www.searcyent.com/ That said, there's really no such thing as a "production" double rifle, as much handwork is required to fit and regulate them.

It warms my heart to see so many of you find the Ching Sling works for you. Let me just add a suggestion to also take a look at the newer Safari Ching Sling, which doesn't require the middle stud and therefore can be used on just about any rifle without having to put in extra holes in the...

I use the backstraps for grilled steaks and saute the tenderloins gently in butter or olive oil. All the rest of the meat goes into sausage and ground meat. This year I have enough to make up three types of sausage: South African boerwors, German touristwurst, and venison salami. I'll still...

Smokey: I'd be interested in your impressions of the Safari Ching Sling after you've played with it awhile. Thanks in advance.

I recently was approached by someone looking for defensive pistol training in preparation for the police academy. He was not unfamiliar with the M16, haven been in the military, but had no significant pistol experience. I provided him with four one-hour lessons, two off the range and two on...

It depends... When hunting deer here in the States, a full magazine and a full buttcuff or belt carrier is plenty. In Africa, though, where you might encounter more than one shootable trophy animal and be away from camp all day, I like to add another ten rounds or so in a pocket carrier...

I concur with the lower power scope with a modest objective diameter so that it can be mounted as low as possible. Being able to get right on target with the scope starts even before you spot the target. The mantra you should follow is "eyes, muzzle, target". When you're scanning for...

Lots of good ones already mentioned. Let me add another for consideration: the final showdown in the saloon in "The Shootist" with John Wayne. An interesting aspect of this shootout is that it was planned by the main character, J.B. Book, and all of the participants prepared and positioned...

The 9.3x62 is somewhat more powerful than the 9.3x57 and handles heavier bullets better. It's also more available and affordable in terms of brass and factory ammo. Personally, unless the rifle was particularly attractive in other ways, I would not buy a 9.3x57 with the intent to rechamber it...

Yes, they do work. I converted all of my Maglites to LED with them and gave some to my friends. They're pleased as well.

A few of us who have hunted with Schalk van Heerden's Bush Africa Safaris in South Africa are hosting a private party for him in Milpitas, CA, on the evening of February 1st, right after SCI in Reno. If any Bay Area locals are interested in meeting Schalk, hearing about his operation, and...

I consider "accidental discharge" to be caused by a mechanical failure of the gun or ammo that resulted in it firing unexpectedly. Anything resulting for improper operation by the shooter I call "negligent discharge." This was operator error, and hence an ND in my opinion. Whether anyone is...

I guess I should clarify or expand on my comments. There's nothing wrong with the original Ching Sling. In fact, it's probably better overall on an ultralight rifle, whereas the Safari Ching Sling, as the name suggests, is aimed more at the heavier medium and big bores. The Safari Ching Sling...
