One of my gunsmithing school projects was a .416 Ruger build on a VZ24 Mauser 98 action. I like the .416 Ruger cartridge for its external performance and its easy feeding, once I modified the receiver. We shall see how the cartridge and rifle prove out on our planned hunting trip in 2013. I...

When I went to Namibia in 2008, I took several ziploc sandwich bags with pre-treated patches (I forget which cleaner I was using at the time) plus some dry patches and maybe some patches treated with gun oil. Cleaning rod, brush and jag were packed in the rifle case. This let me have cleaning...

Brickburn, Thanks for the welcome. I am really enjoying this site and hope to be able to contribute. I will post text and pix from my 2008 Namibia hunting trip as well as next year's trip. I do need to figure out how to do that. I like your signature "Practice whispering before you leave...

Baobab, Thanks for the welcome. My wife and I have not committed to a particular PH or location. Our critter list includes Cape buff, black-maned lion, impala, sable, black wildebeest, and maybe nyala. Days in Africa are around 20 or less. Hunting days are may be less due to travel from one...

A bit late to the thread and a newbie to this forum to boot. So here goes. My problem with HS Precision is not perfromance related but political. Lon Horiuchi, the FBI sniper that murdered Vicky Weaver has been sited as a reference by HS Precision. You can do as well and maybe better with...

My wife and I are planning an African hunt for 2013. On our list is Cape buffalo for Gayle; lion, sable, impala, black wildebeest, nyala, and impala for me. Time will tell if Gayle takes some of the plains game on "my" list. Right now, we are considering a hunt in Mozambique and RSA. I...
