Matt is not anti-hunting. I know him. He is anti-hunting-for-monetary-gain.

He does have a bit of sanctimony though. Just the other day he said that when you die from malaria it’s called Blackwater Fever. He was quite sure of himself but never explained that BWF is only a very small percentage of malaria deaths and that after many exposures. Also, he has yet to correct...

I thought the only difference was the location of the cannelure? In fact I don’t know why they just put two cannelures on the same bullet and just crank them out.

My 9.3 had this issue and it was because the rear base holes were misaligned. I had custom bases made and fixed it. Run a very small string over the front sight to the center of the rear base hole...are all four holes lined up? And there is the matter of parallax as @Mark A Ouellette mentions.

Same here. Shotgun: Both open > squint left during acquisition > fire Rifle: Both open > close left on acquisition > fire

if I ever hunted them this is what i would use except my 338 eats TTSXs.

Nice rifle. Speaking of front sight blades…both Harry Selby’s 416 and Tony Seth-Smiths 450 had teeny blades. When I handled the 450 I thought it was missing. Nope. Just very small and very low.

That’s wild. Hope you get it all sorted out. Nothing like having to justify spending your own money.

credit union. 5 minutes. No problem. @Badjer what exactly was their issue? A second credit union I deal with argued with me about a trust one time. I sent a letter to the president and asked her if I should find a new bank. Next day all was well. Dunno.

I remember where I was when Randy died and now I'll remember where I was when Ozzy died. It makes the Sabbath show a remarkable accomplishment indeed all things considered.

I couldn't imagine hunting anything without binos - there is a lot to see out there. Also agree with binos in dense-ish cover. If you are looking into the brush and focus on the closest foliage then slowly 'push' your focus into/through the brush you would be surprised what you can see. I...

Not sure you caught it, but there is an even earlier podcast with Steve, Morgan, and Roger Hurt - I think maybe 2022-23?

100% But it is sad this even need be said.

It will be out later this year.

Although I am glad he went, what’s slightly annoying about this is that if you have followed along, he has been very critical of the “colonialist hunters” who went to Africa, saw a species for the first time them started blasting away. He has now become the very thing he criticized so heavily...
