As a seasoned hunter, I know that the right gun can make all the difference in the field. That’s why I always recommend using a rifle you know and trust. For me, a lightweight, bolt-action rifle with a stainless steel or carbon stock is the way to go. Adding a scope to your rifle will greatly improve your accuracy and increase your chances of a successful hunt.

When it comes to selecting the perfect rifle, I recommend choosing one that weighs less than 6-9 lbs and is chambered in a powerful cartridge like the 300 win mag. This will allow for greater mobility and less fatigue during extended hunts, while still delivering the power needed for larger game.

Having a synthetic stock or carbon fiber stock is also important, as it ensures that your rifle can handle tough weather conditions and the rigors of the hunt. Plus, a stainless steel finish will ensure that your rifle stays rust-free and looks great for years.

In addition to a lightweight rifle and a powerful cartridge, adding a scope to your setup is essential for improving your accuracy and range. A quality scope can greatly enhance your ability to spot and track the game and can make all the difference when it comes to taking that perfect shot.

Overall, when it comes to selecting the perfect hunting rifle, it’s important to choose one that fits your personal preferences and style. With the right combination of features, including a lightweight build, powerful cartridge, and reliable scope, you’ll be well on your way to a successful hunt.

Putting Mossberg’s New Optic-Ready 500 Turkey to the Test

The Optic-Ready 500 Turkey is one of three new pump-action shotguns from Mossberg. Red dots sights have been used on shotguns in 3-gun competition for decades and I know turkey hunters that put red dots on top of their turkey guns years ago as well, but Mossberg has raised the bar by lowering the red dot down into the receiver of the Optics-Ready 500 Turkey. Mossberg milled, drilled, and tapped the model 500 receiver to allow a small red dot optic to sit at almost the same height as the ventilated rib. I can see the fiber optic front sight in the window of the Holosun EPS I installed on the 500 Turkey 20 gauge.

TAKE THE SHOT?: Black Death In The Brush

It was late in the afternoon when it happened; the buffalo we’d been tracking for hours suddenly materialized in a brushy patch some 150 yards away. We’d been hunting all day in brush full of nothing, and then suddenly it was full of buffalo – all bulls and all looking huge like dump trucks on a residential city street. One bull in particular stared us down, his head lowered, glaring at us from underneath his massive brows. It’s that bull my PH (Professional Hunter) told me to shoot, setting the quintessential African shooting sticks up for me with a real sense of urgency. I laid my rifle across the sticks and stared back at the buffalo through the scope. There was a medium-thin screen of leaves and twigs obscuring him. My finger found the trigger…

Never Miss Again Part 1: Trigger Control

My first shooting experience was with a Benjamin .177 pellet rifle. Its pump had fallen off a generation earlier and was repaired with a bent nail in place of the missing pin. The rear sight was also lost to history. This rifle taught me two valuable lessons. First, I needed to get as close as possible to my target to improve my chances of hitting it. Second, I learned the importance of consistently placing my cheek on the stock the same way every time. I later graduated to a single-shot .22 bolt-action rimfire rifle that my grandfather used during the Depression. According to his journal, a squirrel was worth just one penny more than a .22 bullet. Missing was not an option for him.
