I can tell you that someone makes a thread protector for those 9/16-24 threads, as I picked up a similar 30-06 years back and it has the thread protector on it. I love that rifle. I was not sure how it would shoot with such a short barrel, but with the same ammo it clocks within 50 fps of my...

You will have a great time there with the whole crew. They will take care of everything as far as your half day out tiger fishing so no worries. I was there in March and filed this report...

Been shipping some things and thought I better post an updated list of what is left. Also, will add some more detailed pictures. The plastic case lid has one broken corner of these 40/10mm dies below...

PM coming your way...

PM sent.

Well, looks like I already had a sale so have to rethink that...

Yes, I would love to do one shipping, but there is about $14-1500 worth of stuff there and he would like to get close to that, so it would be hard to auction all that for a price that he would be happy with I think.

I have a friend who is now in his mid 80's and can no longer shoot or reload. So, I am helping him divest of some items here. He took good care of his equipment and even had the original boxes - some going back into the 1960's! I will post the list with prices after some pictures. Please ask...

Started out of Swakopmund with a clean bakkie heading north along the coast.... Being a sailor I had to stop and have a look at the wreck - especially as it was a fishing vessel... We went as far north as Cape Cross Seal Colony. It is hard to describe how many seals there are, how loud they...

From Spreets Hoogte we headed NW towards Walvis Bay and Swakopmund. Strange things encountered along the way... Always with the stickers.... Coming into Walvis Bay from the east I was shocked at all the new construction. New roads and shopping areas, it was not the Walvis Bay I remembered...

Thank you for tuning in! Was great seeing Namibia green - even the big dunes around Sossusvlei had a hint of green from the grass.

Thank you. Yes, I do think Namibia is stunning, but I am partial to desert country.

Another place we stayed that was high on my favorite list was just below Spreets Hoogte pass. This is a pic of the road going up. Once you got to the incline, the road was done with pavers, but it was VERY steep. Again, fun driving. We clocked over 7000 km in the Hilux and I very seldom got to...

We made the drive out to Sossusvlei and walked into Deadvlei. It is a white clay pan known for its 900-year-old, dead camel thorn trees and surrounding red sand dunes. The last part of the drive to the parking area was 4x4 vehicle only. They had shuttles here, but hey we were in the Hilux! This...

Thank you. I hope you guy get to do a trip like this. I retired last fall so I get that desire. Glad to hear from you as I never know if I should continue this or not. There is a lot more to come.
