Weatherby Vanguard HSP Varmint Rifle by Don Caswell Weatherby Vanguard HSP Varmint rifle by Don Caswell eatherby’s Vanguard HSP rifle is available in .223, .22-250, .243, .308, .270, .30-06 and W .300 Win. With the smaller cartridges, the magazine holds five rounds. In the larger calibres, the magazine capacity is three rounds. The Vanguard comes with Weatherby’s accuracy guarantee; that is, the rifle will deliver three-shot, 100-yard accu- racy of 0.99MOA, or better, with Weatherby or other premium factory ammo. I found that to be so and the review rifle delivered some even better accuracy with handloads. I was impressed, but first things first. The rifle Tasco Sales Australia supplied the SSAA with the .223 Rem chambered Varmint model, fitted with a Bushnell Engage 6-18x50 scope. The stock was a stand-out feature with its black and tan mottling and the white spidering overlay. The stock felt reassuringly comfortable and solid. The rifle had all the hallmarks of a great pest control and varminting rig, so I was keen to try it out. The scoped rifle, with an empty magazine, weighed 3.96kg (8.7lb). The bare rifle weighs about 3.5kg. The overall length was 44” (112cm). The barrel The Vanguard HSP has a cold hammer- forged medium weight #2 contour varmint barrel. It is 24” (61cm) in length. The rate of twist is one in 12”. There is a matte, bead-blasted blued finish. The muzzle features a nicely recessed crown for protecting the exit rifling and subsequent accuracy. Stainless steel barrels are also available in some calibres. Personally, I like matte blue, or earthy-colored coatings rather than stainless steel, purely because of the visible shine factor when hunting wild dogs. And, from personal experience, stainless steel is not necessarily a rust- free option either, especially in the satin finishes. Any pest within Receiver and bolt 200m will be in dire jeopardy.

  • Coyote Rifle
    The “Perfect” Coyote Rifle In his senior year of high school, my youngest son and hunting partner, Ben, needed a Senior Project. Ben is an avid predator hunter, long range shooter and gun nut so he chose to build a rifle for his project. He would be working under the tutelage of a local mentor. Ben is also both careful and artistic in his approach to his responsibilities so his mother and I blessed him in the endeavor. School rules and personal finances precluded him from building the rifle for himself so, never being one to miss an opportunity to add to my rifle collection, I funded the project for Ben and we began to plan The “Perfect” Coyote Rifle. This project, like a work of art, is in the eye of the beholder. Our own tastes and experiences as well as our priorities and needs influence our decisions. My needs and tastes may differ from another hunter’s so defining those parameters may be in order. The Objective The AR-15 could arguably be the perfect platform for a calling rifle. AR’s are very accurate. They provide rapid follow-up shots. And, they are quickly and easily modified for different applications. I ran a two or three year stint with AR-15’s and, while I still own some AR’s, I have gravitated back to bolt rifles for calling. I cut my teeth on bolt action rifles and, while the AR-15 is a very effective coyote rifle, it is a different beast than a bolt gun.

  • Sinclair Competition Shooting Rest
    ReloadingShooting Equipment Rests Sinclair Competition Shooting Rest The Sinclair Competition Shooting Rest is a result of our staff and our customer’s years of shooting experience on the firing line, and in the field. We’ve incorporated the best design Fluted Knobs ideas, materials, and craftsmanship to present you with a shooting platform that rivals any windage rest available today. Whether you’re competing in a benchrest discipline, F-Class, or wringing the most accuracy from your favorite shooting rig, the Sinclair Competition Rest offers the most versatile fit, function, and features in one complete package. Heavy and Compact Stainless Steel Hardware The Sinclair Competition Rest’s foundation begins with a one inch, solid steel base plate with a durable granite powder coat finish. This enables us to achieve a massive unit – over 30 pounds - with the lowest center of gravity, combined with a footprint that’s no larger than other tripod rests currently on the market. It’s nearly twice as heavy as our closest competitor. Fully Adjustable Mobile Forend Most shooting rests by design, are awkward and difficult to manage and maneuver. We solved this by machining a carry handle into the base plate for easy transport, making the Sinclair Competition Rest one of the most mobile units available,in spite of its enormous weight. No tacky looking handles or impossible two-arm lift methods are needed. Effortless Operation Integral The Sinclair Competition Rest has the windage operation built directly into the base plate. Carry It incorporates dual sets of twin tapered roller bearings for an effortless, non-binding Handle windage operation.

    2009 MODEL 1895 MODEL 70 2008 RIFLE OF THE YEAR MODEL 70™ THE RIFLE AMERICA LOVES. The Model 70 remains the most respected bolt-action rifl e in the world. Proudly, it is the All-American rifl eman’s rifl e, a rifl e for the ages and the bolt-action for the future. No other rifl e comes as heavily loaded with proven features as the Model 70. BLADE-TYPE EJECTOR A blade-type ejector allows you to have full control when ejecting a fired case. Pull the bolt back slowly and the empty case pops out gently, perfect for target shooters and varminters. Pull the bolt back smartly and the empty case clears the port with greater force. THREE-POSITION SAFETY Convenient to operate with the thumb of the firing hand, the Model 70 safety design lifts the firing pin away from the sear. When the safety selector is in the middle position, the action can still be operated, allowing unfired cartridges to be cycled with the safety on. It is smooth to engage and easily identifies the safety status of the rifle. WALNUT STOCK Only a beautifully-fit, solid American walnut stock enhanced with finely cut checkering is appropriate for a rifle living up to a rich legacy of accuracy and dependability. STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS The trigger housing and all internal components of the MOA Trigger are constructed of durable, corrosion- resistant stainless steel.

    Safari Rifles II The author with his Botswana elephant, taken in April 2008. Safari Rifles II Doubles, Magazine Rifles, and Cartridges for African Hunting by Craig T. Boddington Safari Press CAUTION! Common sense needs to be used when handling and discharging a firearm. Keep the following principles of safety in mind so as to provide a safe environment for everyone: 1) Always point a firearm in a safe direction. 2) Never point a firearm at another person. 3) Treat all firearms as though they are loaded. 4) Wear eye and hearing protection at all times when handling firearms. Do not attempt to handload your own ammunition using the bullet velocities and or loads listed on these pages. Your firearm may not be able to withstand the pressures generated by the loads and velocities listed in this book. If you aren’t sure about your gun, consult a competent gunsmith. The handloading of ammunition and the discharging of a firearm should never be attempted without the supervision of an adult experienced in both handloading and firearms. Do not attempt to handload ammunition without knowing how to read signs of (excessive) pressure in both guns and ammunition. SAFARI RIFLES II © 2009 by Craig T. Boddington.

  • Assault Weapons Ban of 2013
    ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN OF 2013 U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein A bill to ensure proper regulation of military-style 331 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition http://feinstein.senate.gov feeding devices. 2/13 20152370 Confronting Assault Weapons in Society More than eight years have passed since the federal Assault Weapons Ban on military-style firearms expired in 2004. Since then, more than 350 people have been killed and more than 450 injured by these weapons. Towns like Newtown, Aurora and Tucson are now known for the mass shootings that shocked the nation. Mass murders in these towns and others across America demonstrate all too clearly the need to regulate deadly assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. On January 24, 2013, we gathered to introduce a new Assault Weapons Ban of 2013. This legisla- tion, stronger than the 1994 bill, has two primary goals: • First, halt the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 157 of the most commonly-owned military-style assault weapons and ban an additional group of assault weapons that are particularly lethal because they can accept a detachable ammunition magazine and have one or more military characteristics. • Second, ban large-capacity magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. These devices allow shooters to fire numerous rounds in rapid succession without having to reload. We firmly believe that weapons designed for war have no place on the streets of a civilized soci- ety. We must enforce existing law and enact commonsense measures to stop the proliferation of military-style assault weapons while protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens who use guns for hunting, household defense or legitimate recreational purposes.
