Sako S20 Cerakote Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor Review I recently had the opportunity to purchase and test the Sako S20 Cerakote Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor, and I wanted to share my honest thoughts on this rifle. Overall, it has been a mix of intriguing features and some drawbacks that potential buyers should consider. Sako Pros: Build Quality: One of the first things that struck me was the impressive build quality of the S20. The materials used feel durable and robust, and the Cerakote finish not only looks great but also offers excellent resistance to scratches and corrosion. This is especially important for hunters who venture into rough terrains. Precision and Accuracy: Having tested the accuracy at the range, I was very pleased with the performance. The 51 cm barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor provides remarkable precision, making it a great choice for both long-range shooting and hunting scenarios. It delivers consistent groupings, which enhances confidence during a hunt. Ergonomics and Comfort

Blaser R8 Ultimate Huntec Rifle in .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor Review I recently had the opportunity to put the Blaser R8 Ultimate Huntec rifle to the test, and I’d like to share my thoughts based on my experience with it. Admittedly, I had high expectations given the reputation of the Blaser brand, and I am excited to discuss both the positives and negatives that I encountered. Pros: Modular Design: One of the standout features of the R8 is its modular system. I love that I can easily switch between calibers, specifically .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor, without needing specialized tools. This flexibility is perfect for someone like me who enjoys various types of hunting and shooting scenarios. Precision and Accuracy: Both calibers deliver exceptional precision. The .308 Win is a proven performer, making it ideal for larger game. Meanwhile, the 6.5 Creedmoor is renowned for its flat trajectory and minimal recoil, which made shooting at longer distances a less intimidating task for me.

Review of Tikka T3x CTR 6.5 Creedmoor As an avid hunter with several years of experience, I've had the opportunity to use a variety of rifles in different hunting environments. The Tikka T3x CTR in 6.5 Creedmoor is a model that has garnered considerable attention in the hunting community, and I recently decided to give it a thorough evaluation during my outings. Here’s my honest assessment, including both the pros and cons. Pros: Accuracy: The Tikka T3x CTR is renowned for its exceptional accuracy. The cold hammer-forged barrel ensures consistency, and during my test sessions, I was able to achieve sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with factory ammunition. The 20" barrel with a twist rate of 1:11 handles various bullet weights well, providing flexibility in load selection. Build Quality: Tikka rifles are known for their solid construction, and the T3x CTR is no exception.

Remington Model Seven When I worked behind a gun counter, probably I sold more Model Sevens than all of my colleagues combined. The Model Seven is essentially a shortened 700 action that maintains virtually all of its virtues. These little rifles prove that you don’t need a magnum-length barrel to have an effective hunting rifle. Compact, relatively light and portable, these rifles are just the ticket for hunting from tree stands, in timber or in thick brush. Though Model Sevens were chambered in everything from the 17 Remington to the 300 SAUM over the years, examples in .260, 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm-08 are my personal favorites, particularly for whitetails..

Bergara Canyon If you prefer the classic fit and feel of a hunting rifle stock without the extra weight, Bergara’s Premier Series Canyon rifle, built on a 100% carbon fiber AG Composites stock may fit the bill. The No. 4 fluted barrel with the 5/8-24” threaded Omni brake allows reduced felt recoil when shooting the heavy-hitting caliber options. The M5 floor plate gives you the ability to customize with either the detachable magazine or a hinged floor plate. The Canyon rifle is the perfect balance of a lightweight and portable hunting rig. The Canyon’s two-position safety is part of the trigger assembly, which is a TriggerTech Frictionless Release Technology trigger. One great feature of this combination allows the bolt handle not to lock in the closed position, which in turn allows the rifle to be unloaded while in the safe position. The Canyon offers two barrel lengths, 20- and 22-inch, with chamberings to include 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .308 Win, .300 Win Mag, 300 PRC, 28 Nosler a

Отзыв на трёхствольное ружьё Simson Suhl (12/70, 12/70, 6.5/57R) Недавно мне посчастливилось попробовать трёхствольное ружьё Simson Suhl, и я хочу поделиться своими впечатлениями о нём. Это оружие заслуживает отдельного внимания как охотников, так и любителей коллекционирования. 1. Три ствола Simson Suhl Конструкция и качество изготовления: Ружьё было выполнено с большой заботой о деталях. Корпус выглядит прекрасно, металл имеет качественную обработку, а дерево — приятное на ощупь и с хорошей отделкой. Видно, что производитель уделял внимание как эстетике, так и функциональности. 2. Удобство в использовании Simson Suhl: Трёхствольное исполнение является интересным выбором для многоцелевой охоты. Два ствола под калибр 12/70 дают отличную возможность для стрельбы дробью, а третий ствол под 6.5/57R открывает перспективы для загонной охоты на крупную дичь. Переключение между стволами интуитивно понятное, что является большим плюсом. 3. Баланс и масса: Ружьё достаточно тяжёлое, но пр

How Long Will a Benelli Shotgun Last? A Gunsmith’s Perspective on Durability, Round Count & Real-World Longevity When investing in a premium shotgun, longevity is more than a selling point - it’s a promise. And few names carry that promise quite like Benelli. Whether you’re a waterfowler dragging your M2 through flooded timber, a tactical operator relying on the M4, or a clay shooter putting thousands of rounds through a SuperSport, one question inevitably arises: How long will a Benelli shotgun last? Let’s break it down - not with marketing fluff, but with real-world data, mechanical insight, and field-proven experience. 🔧 What Determines Shotgun Longevity? Before we talk numbers, it’s important to understand what affects a shotgun’s lifespan: • Round count (volume of fire) • Maintenance habits • Environmental exposure (saltwater, dust, cold) • Build quality and materials • Design of the action (inertia vs. gas) Benelli’s reputation for durability stems from its inertia-driven

Baboons VS Leopard Kruger National Park visitors witnessed an incredible incident that occurred near a popular picnic spot in the park. In South Africa, a large family of baboons attacked a leopard that decided to grab one of them as prey. The video shows the predator (leopard) walking along the road and then abruptly running up to the unsuspecting baboons. However, one of them, the largest, rushes in response to help his relatives. Due to their numerical advantage and lightning-fast response, the baboons managed to drive away the predatory leopard. Among the "audience" were newlyweds Merv Mersinligil and Victor Shontag, who told the press about what they saw. Merv remembers: "I jokingly told my husband: "Maybe we should warn the baboons about the leopard we just saw. And he laughed." But a moment later, the leopard was ready to spring! The baboon is widespread in Central and Eastern Africa. It lives in steppe and mountainous areas. It feeds on plant (fruits, bulbs, etc.) and anima

Совы - это прекрасные существа, которые вызывают восхищение и удивление своей загадочностью и особыми способностями. Вот несколько захватывающих фактов о совах, чтобы окунуться в их удивительный мир: Совы являются одними из самых тихих хищников в мире. Их перья обладают специальной структурой, которая позволяет им лететь практически бесшумно, делая своих охотников неподдающимися даже самой проницательной добычей. Заслуженно ассоциируясь с ночью, совы действительно прекрасно видят в темноте. Их глаза обладают уникальными анатомическими особенностями: они большие и окружены специальными перепонками, которые помогают собирать даже слабейший свет. Совы могут поворачивать свою голову на 270 градусов! Это происходит благодаря особому строению шейных позвонков и уникальной системе кровоснабжения. Благодаря этому, совы могут смотреть в любом направлении, не поворачивая всего тела. Совы обладают невероятно острым слухом.

В столичных парках стали чаще встречаться животные, занесенные в Красную книгу Москвы – лисы, зайцы-русаки, бобры, ежи и другие. Об этом сообщается на портале мэра и правительства столицы. Отмечается, что такое наблюдение зафиксировали эксперты Мосприроды, которые провели уже более 270 учетов на городских природных территориях. В рамках таких исследований специалисты фиксируют встречи со всеми представителями животного мира, однако особое внимание уделяют наиболее редким видам. "Среди краснокнижных животных чаще всего стали встречаться заяц-русак, лиса, еж, бобр, а также серая неясыть, длиннохвостая синица, ястреб-перепелятник и ястреб-тетеревятник", – говорится в сообщении.

10 Classic Hunting Rifles Every Hunter Should Own (Part 1) These classic hunting rifles bring a good dose of nostalgia, and plenty of real-world performance 1. Springfield Armory Model 1903 Sporter Many, if not most, of our modern bolt-action hunting rifles have their roots in military rifles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After the World Wars, an abundance of surplus rifles was quickly taken advantage of by hunters. The 1903 Springfield was commonly “sporterized” by pulling the action and putting it in a shorter, more-handy “sporter” stock. Of course, they were often re-barreled, re-chambered, and highly-modified for specific hunting purposes—all based around the robust 1903 action. It was common for gunsmiths to “sporterize” surplus rifles for customers, turning them into heirloom hunting rifles. If I was to buy one, I’d take the original .30/06 chambering, although they were often re-barreled in other calibers like .270 Win. The 1903’s action was built for battle, a

Методы охоты на косулю в Беларуси: подробный гид для профессионалов  Охота на косулю в Беларуси требует не только знания повадок зверя, но и грамотного выбора метода. От тактики зависят успешность добычи трофея и безопасность участников. В статье — детальный разбор всех легальных методов, проверенных в белорусских угодьях. 1. Охота с подхода (скрадом) Суть: Охотник самостоятельно выслеживает косулю, подкрадываясь на расстояние выстрела. Подготовка: Разведка местности: За 1–2 дня до охоты изучите: Тропы между лесом и кормовыми полянами. Следы, помёт, погрызы коры. Выбор времени: Лучшие часы — рассвет (4:00–7:00) и закат (17:00–20:00). Тактика: Двигайтесь против ветра, используя естественные укрытия (кусты, овраги). Делайте паузы каждые 20–30 шагов для осмотра местности в бинокль. Стреляйте только при уверенности в попадании (оптимальная дистанция — 50–150 м). Снаряжение: Винтовка калибра .243 Win или 6.5×55 SE с прицелом 3–9×40. Маскировочный костюм «лес» или «поле». Бесшумная обувь

Benelli 828 U Beccaccia 12 Gauge Review: A Hunter's Deep Dive The Benelli 828 U Beccaccia. The name itself evokes images of challenging hunts in dense cover, pursuing elusive woodcock. This over-under shotgun is specifically designed for upland bird hunting, prioritizing lightweight handling, fast pointing, and the ability to deliver consistent patterns in close-quarters situations. Let's take a detailed look at what makes the 828 U Beccaccia a standout choice for discerning hunters. What Sets the Beccaccia Apart? Design and Purpose The Beccaccia isn't just a standard 828 U with a fancy name. Benelli has made specific design choices to optimize it for woodcock (Beccaccia in Italian) and similar upland game. These differences manifest in handling, weight distribution, and overall responsiveness. Lightweight Agility: The most immediate impression is its weight – or lack thereof. Weighing in at around 6.5 pounds (actual weight varies slightly based on wood density and barrel length),

Benelli Beccaccia 12 Gauge Shotgun Review I recently had the opportunity to test the Benelli Beccaccia 12 gauge shotgun during a few hunting trips, and I’d like to share my thoughts on this firearm. As a seasoned hunter, I've used a variety of shotguns, and the Beccaccia has some standout features and a few drawbacks. Here’s my detailed review. Pros: Lightweight and Maneuverable: One of the first things I noticed is how lightweight the Beccaccia is. Weighing in at about 6.5 pounds, it is easy to carry around during long hunts. This is especially beneficial during those all-day excursions, where every ounce matters. Exceptional Balance: The shotgun is well-balanced, making it easy to swing on target. This feature significantly increases accuracy, particularly for fast-flying game. I found it particularly effective for hunting in dense brush, where quick shots are necessary. Reliable In Various Conditions: I tested the Beccaccia in both wet and dry conditions, and I was impressed wi

This feature is particularly beneficial for observing birds in flight or during active behavior. Comfortable Grip: The design is user-friendly with a rubberized coating that provides a secure grip. This is especially useful during longer observation sessions when your hands might get tired, ensuring that the binoculars stay comfortably in hand.

What Gear Do I Need for My First Hunt? A Professional Hunter’s Guide Stepping into the world of hunting is more than just buying a rifle and heading into the woods. It’s about preparation, respect for the land, and having the right gear to ensure safety, success, and ethical practice. As someone who’s spent decades in the field — from frosty dawns in the Midwest to dry stalks in the Southwest — I’ve seen firsthand what gear matters and what’s just dead weight. This guide breaks down the essential hunting gear every beginner needs for their first hunt, based on real-world experience and practical use — not marketing hype. 🎯 1. The Right Weapon for the Game Your firearm or bow is your primary tool. Choose it based on the species you’re hunting and your local regulations. • Rifle: For deer, a bolt-action rifle chambered in .243, .270, or .308 is ideal for beginners — manageable recoil, good accuracy, and widely available ammo. • Shotgun: If you’re hunting birds or small game, a 12 o

Aoudad Hunting: The Poor Man’s Sheep Like countless other big game hunters across the U.S., I dream of one day roasting tenderloins in a high-altitude camp as the flickering firelight casts its glow on a set of wild sheep horns strapped to my backpack. Be it a fully curled Rocky Mountain bighorn, Dall, Stone or Desert, I don’t care — I just want to be a sheep hunter, the kind that the legendary Jack O’Connor was as he roamed the withering heights with his .270 in hand. Unfortunately, being a sheep hunter is my dream, not my reality thanks to staggeringly high hunting costs and precious few tags available through state draws. But there is hope for a wannabe sheep hunter like myself, hope that comes in the form of a beautiful nomadic animal with sweeping horns that have found their way to American shores. Those sheep are the imported aoudad sheep, or Barbary sheep. Native to the rocky, desert mountains of North Africa, the sheep have made themselves quite at home in the similarly dry a

Air Rifles Continue Hunting’s Quiet Revolution I’ll never forget my first morning deer hunting on public land near my childhood home in southern Wisconsin, a state with more than 600,000 deer hunters. For nine days a year, the state could field the world’s seventh largest army. Since hunters are required to wear blaze orange during the gun deer season, come November the Wisconsin woods and fields take on the look of a never-ending pumpkin patch—a loud one at that. As I sat in a makeshift stand consisting of a board wedged between two branches about 15 feet off the ground, dawn brought a nearly steady barrage of rifle reports on the order of an Antietam reenactment. Until that time, I had no idea whitetail deer could run that fast. A blast from a .30-30, .270, or .30-06 (all common calibers used for deer hunting) will carry for miles, like gunpowder-induced thunder. The notion of a quiet morning communing with nature in the deer woods was, instead, something more akin to a day at the

Canada goose hunting from kayak. GoPro video. An interesting fact is that of all the subspecies of geese, the Canadian goose flies the worst. This is due to its large weight. That is why the author of the video was in no hurry to get the gun out of the case. Canada geese have been introduced in Europe in the early 17th century by explorer Samuel de Champlain who sent several pairs of geese to France as a present for King Louis XIII. The Canada goose was one of the many species described by Carl Linnaeus in his 18th-century work Systema Naturae. The Canadian goose (Branta canadensis) is a waterfowl from the duck family. It is the most widespread waterfowl in North America: its population exceeds 5 million individuals. The body length of the Canadian goose is 55-110 cm, the wingspan is 120-180 cm, and the weight is 2.0—6.5 kg. The Canadian goose is native to North America. Currently, the bird breeds mainly in Alaska and Canada, including on the Arctic coasts and islands of the Canad
