Kimber Caprivi Lott

Boomy,
If you want to play spy and are going back tommorow (its the last day right?) ... idle up to Remington and ask who the Australian importer will be ... likewise Marlin.

Then show that 425WR based on a 300RUM to Remington's bean counters ... they're dumb enough to go for the bait
Cheers...

Boom stick,
Well it lookes like Carl got all the slober off that Lott after I looked at it in Dallas.

I was drooling over the kevlar 375...

Boomstick,

Any word from either Ruger or Hornady as to future Hawkeye chamberings. Hornady is making special 404 Jeff loadings and was hoping maybe they may bring out the HE in 404.
I'm holding off on the 375 until I here more.

Enjoy the show and Vegas.

I spoke with lots of folks in the industry who follow what is going on here, primarily in the Big, Medium, and Small bore forums. Much of what is posted here is repeated and printouts are passed around firearms and ammunition manufacturers management meetings. One media liason rep told me we are looked at to see what the edge is like...doers not observers in the game.

370 Sako Magnum

I'll be danged, sumwun besides Ruger chambering for the .375 Ruger.
Must be a worthwhile cartridge, that .375 Ruger, what?

That's not just anyone that's Steyr!! The only independant original manufacturer who actually invented their own stuff. Maybe there is a secret Austrian/American merger coming??

Different looking, to say the least. However, they look functional.

8 Round 375 Ruger Magazine



Load on Sunday and shoot 'til Saturday!



370 Sako Magnum

I like it!! Another Factory 9.3!!

With Hornady rumors they'll be producing 404 Jeffery ammo, anyone in NA hinting on chambering it?

Howa is chambering the 375 ruger in the Howa Axium as well
I find the Axium interesting cuzz of the removable stock and its recoil reducing design.

Oh yeah. "DO NOT LIFE FIRE!" that Steyr in .375 Ruger.
They want you to "life fire" the .375 Steyr instead?

RIP!!

That's subtle East Austrian Code for "Death Fire Only"

Hmm! Reduces felt recoil by 70% they say. That'll make for a nice 375!

Steyr says 10+1 for the 9.3x62, so rechamber it for the 370 and have a BLAST!!

Yo Boom Boom,

What is the length of the barrel on the Talketna?

dont know...guessing 22"-24"

not too long not too short.

Sorry I cant be more specific.

I wonder if H&H is going to copy Steyr's sleek design and tasteful white lettering....

I think Steyr gets the award for making the ugliest rifles on the market.

surestrike,

The Talkeetna has a 24" barrel.

Headache

Thanks dude!

What do you think about the Talkeetna? I'd like far better with bottom metal!

It is a dandy, and around $2100 suggested retail. I have been friends with one of the wheels at Kimber for about twenty years. They will be forcing me to make a choice as to whether I want to test drive the Caprivi or Talkeetna in 458 Lott next month. They are also nudging me to drive up to the factory and build my own. I am thinking the T-model is going to be a real winner in Alaska, if we can wean you guys off that midget 375R!!

I figured you'd be hatin' the Kimbers, ISS. Afterall, your main justification for loving the CZs so much was the price.

You can get two Ruger Alaskans for the price of a Talkeetna.

Cheers,
Canuck

GUN PORN!! Don't know why I didn't see this before?!?!

The Mausers are exceptional! BUT, they need to mate those stocks with the 98 actions!!!
