DSC convention--wouldn't miss it! This year I got to take a first look at the inside workings of the Blaser R8--the one you guys are always raving about. I must say, it is new out of the box thinking with that collet type lockup+shoulder which is the functional locking lug arrangement. Just as smooth and fast as described around here as well-- curious to know if any of you chose the thumbhole stock.

It was a breath of fresh air to see Peter Hofer from Ferlach, Austria, as well as a few other truly premier German gunmakers. Nice to be exposed to what work the Continental Meisters can do. It's not just the British who know how to make a great firearm!

I think I took one step closer toward a new adventure--discussed such with a few companies--subject to my wife's newly burgeoning interest in going TOO I am happy to say.

I believe I already posted about the return availability of NorthFork bullet through Reloading International.

All in all a great show, though I didn't win a trip by raffle!

If Mama is on board then the biggest hurtle is over. Happy wife, happy life. You're on your way:A Banana:

Hey Steve, somehow I missed earlier the part of your wife’s interest in going to Africa! I guess I got lost in all the rifle talk in the first part of the post which is like a foreign language to me. Anyway, I’m thrilled your wife wants to go. She will love it. I was a skeptical and hesitant wife….and the trip changed my life. Now here I am on this site! Anyway, if she’s a reader she might want to check out the book I wrote about the experience. It’s available on Amazon and free on kindle unlimited. I also sell signed copies from my website. Forgive me if you already knew this. I have a hard time keeping track of all these AH names. I like that yours is simple!

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,

If you ever decide to sell this rifle, I will buy it with the dies, bullet, brass, the works. Dan
