    Anyone ever hunt elk near Craig, CO (GMU 13)?

    I've hunted several times a few mile north of Hayden. All public land DIY hunts. There are bulls to be had, but you will do better to stick to private land. We hunted lower ground so later in the season was better when the snow pushed most of the elk out of the high timber. As others have...

    Rigby .275 Rifle Made In 1912

    Hell on wheels to get it here to Minnesota I'm afraid. I would also CT, if it was for sale domestically I would own it... Wife might spontaneously combust if she found out I bought another 275 Rigby :whistle:

    Rigby .275 Rifle Made In 1912

    But to own a 1912 John Rigby highland stalker...a thrill. If only the stories could be read from each ding, nick, and repair that have been accumulated over the last 116 years. What a story she might tell... Transgressions can be forgiven, and corrected by skilled hands...

    .375 H&H / 260 gr. Nosler Partition Load Suggestions?

    New Ruger African in .275 Rigby

    Folks, As of today Cabelas still has 10 of these rifles left, well 9 I guess :) My personal treasure is on its way to Rogers, MN. They have them mis-labeled on their website as a Hawkeye classic center fire rifle rather than the African model that they are. After a long conversation with...

    Birmingham Majestic & Mauser 66

    I have an opportunity to purchase 2 rifles that I know little about and frankly couldn't find a ton of information on. A fellow passed on that unbeknownst to me had a collection of oddball rifles, such as 348 Winchesters, 350 Remingtons, etc. As part of this there are two guns that caught my...
