“98 mauser”

In 2003, Finnish firearms manufacturer Sako released its own variant of the 9.3mm rimless cartridge: the 9.3x66mm Sako, or as it is known in the U.S., the .370 Sako Magnum. It delivers performance on par with the beloved .375 H&H in a package which can hold one additional round in the magazine in a lighter rifle.

The .257 Bob certainly has lost popularity of late, but those who still take him afield each fall quietly go about their business, accurately placing shots and taking game without destroying any more meat than is necessary.

Let’s take a closer look at how various barrel lengths, from rimfires to safari guns, play a role in a rifle’s performance.

Many different rifles can be made to work in a pinch, but if you’re planning to do some serious traveling, keep these tips in mind while making your choice, and you’ll have a lifetime of successful hunts.

If the brute force of the butt of a rifle doesn’t bother you, and you feel your hunting will warrant owning a rifle in this class, the differences between these two can be important. Let’s compare and contrast the Gibbs and Jeffery.

Taking a new shooter to the range for the first time can be a wonderful experience, if done correctly. Here’s what you should—and shouldn’t—do to ensure range trip No. 2.

Zimbabwe’s Sengwa River may have dried up, but a Cape buffalo hunt along its banks provides meat to quell rumors that the game populations of the Chirisa Safari Area have dried up along with it.

The .35 Whelen and the 9.3x62mm Mauser have cases within a millimeter in length and a bullet diameter just a few thousandths apart, so which cartridge would a hunter choose?

If you’re looking for a rifle of larger diameter than your deer gun, which will complement the 7mms and .30s well, the 9.3x62mm Mauser should be a definite contender.
