    Winchester SXR2

    Also, there is a precedent for the same magazine working for both 30-06 and 9.3X62. The Haenel/HK SLB-2000 had one magazine for 30-06, 8X57 and 9.3X62. Not sure if it translates to the Browning/Winchester platform, but it is something.

    Winchester SXR2

    Hey guys, Just ordered one of the Winchester SXR2 in 9.3X62 and I'm on the hunt for magazines. I reached out to Lipsey's and they indicated that they did not bring in any spare magazines. They said they'd look into getting some, we'll see if that happens. Been doing some additional research...

    Hendershots Extreme 338 win mag ammo available

    AKBorn…CorBon is also taking back orders for A-Frame ammo in 338 Win Mag. Plus they are quite a bit cheaper. I still have a back-order in. Hopefully it will ship soon. It seems like Pendleton and CorBon are just waiting for brass, they seem to have the bullets, primers and powder. I cancelled...

    Ideal Bear Defense Long Gun?

    Zerk: No worries, sometimes it's hard to read people's intonation in a forum post! VernAK: Thanks for the insights, all good points. None of our current guns have pistol-grip stocks, exactly for the reason you mention, don't want any issues at the border, including extra scrutiny just because...

    Ideal Bear Defense Long Gun?

    Fatcamp, sounds like you and I have similar taste in reading material. Here is a pic of just one of my book shelves. I got my copy of Hunter quite by accident at a thrift store for .50 cents when I was about 12 years old! It was one of my favorite books from the time I was 12 until I was about...

    Ideal Bear Defense Long Gun?

    FatCamp: Two classic African rifles are the PH’s Rigby double barrel in .470 Nitro Express and the client’s Rigby Mauser in .416 Rigby. One shot from the .416 handled this buffalo, but the big bore was there as backup if needed. Ron Spomer From the article...

    Ideal Bear Defense Long Gun?

    For those who are curious about the new gun law in Canada. The people in the Arctic have been very vocal in opposition to the last minute ammendments, which were added after a second reading of the bill, which was originally designed to create greater penalties for people who were illegally...

    Ideal Bear Defense Long Gun?

    On a humorous note: When I was buying a shotgun (A Winchester 1300 Marine Defender Pump), for a previous Arctic Expedition (1996) the old timer in the gun shop, picture a dude in his 70's with a Marlboro in his lip told me this: Old man running the gun shop said, "You don't need a 12 Gauge, you...

    Quick followup on bear defense - quick test

    Definitely good drills for practicing for the possibility. Just my 2 Cents, but many of your hits are likely too high and may even miss the top of the bears skull and only hit muscle (I'm not saying they wouldn't be "combat" effective). If you look at a skull of a bear, most of what's behind...
