    What boots are PH's wearing these days?

    The last two PHs I’ve hunted with have both worn Jim Green Rangers. I wore the JG Barefoots on my recent trip (I’m typing this from the place while flying home). I had to add insoles to the Barefoots, but they have gotten more comfortable over time. I have high arches, and consider the...

    7 rem mag bullet selection

    I’ve used 175 Partitions in my 7RM with excellent results. Sable, Kudu, Gemsbok, and more. Excellent penetration and I’d gladly use them again on my next Safari. I achieved excellent accuracy with that bullet in front of a near-max load of Reloader 22.

    Reloading components you would like to see make a comeback......................

    Alliant powders at decent prices. Namely R16, R23, and R26. Haven’t seen any of them in my area for years.

    Montana Rifle Company TSAVO in .375 H&H - Shooting!!!

    That would be great news if they did proceed with a true magnum length action! I’m sure I’d end up with one of those as well…

    Which 6.5 Creed load for sable sized PG

    If taking my 6.5 CM, I’d use whatever shot the best of the following…. 140 Partition, A-Frame, or Accubond, 127 LRX, or 120 CX. Any of those should work well if placed in the right spot.

    Montana Rifle Company TSAVO in .375 H&H - Shooting!!!

    I also have looked at them the last 2 days, and will be ordering a .375 when they are available. I’ll also get a .416 or preferably a .404 when they come out. I like them very much.

    Lipsey's Alaska Bush Gun

    I also bought a 9.3x62. Hopefully this doesn’t impact all of them.

    Montana Rifle Company TSAVO in .375 H&H - Shooting!!!

    Is there a rough idea on the timeline for the release to the market? This spring or summer? Next year? Just wondering as I'd like to get one to take on one of my upcoming trips. I have one trip coming up in May of this year, and I fear that it's probably already too late for me to have one...

    Winchester model 70 safari express

    I recently had to have some work done on a Browning, and was also spoken to in a similar manner. I believe the two companies share a US service center. I’ve probably bought 25 or so new Winchesters and Brownings in the last 10-15 years, and know my way around guns and gunsmithing better than...

    Montana Rifle Company TSAVO in .375 H&H - Shooting!!!

    I also wanted to buy one to take with me to Africa next year. I've been waiting since I handled the prototype at SCI Nashville at the beginning of the year. I was under the impression that they'd be out by now. I may still get one, but at this point it's probably too late for me to get it set...

    What new Ruger would you like to see in a limited special run?

    I also just ordered one of the 9.3’s. Seems like it should be a great setup for the money!

    What new Ruger would you like to see in a limited special run?

    I’d love to see the RSMs come back. I’d be willing to buy both a .416 Rigby and a .404 if they’d make them. If we are dealing with today’s models, I’d buy Hawkeye Africans in 9.3x62 and .275 Rigby if they’d make more. Preferably with upgraded walnut.

    Sako 100 - In stock - First look

    Is there a .375 barrel available with open sights?

    Eurochasse

    I bought a rifle from them that was listed on gunbroker and had no problems at all. Everything was legit. That was 4-5 years ago though. Hopefully the communication issues are resolved soon!

    Montana Rifle Company TSAVO in .375 H&H - Shooting!!!

    Ian, Thank you for the quick and thorough response. That was exactly the information that I was looking for. When do you expect to see them reaching the market in .375? I'm headed back to Africa next spring and would like have time to work up loads and get it well broken in before my trip...
