    Honey Badger Taxidermy Help

    Easiest salvage is probably to close the mouth……. Or just tell them it looks stupidly and see if they agree and suggest a remedy.

    Which 6.5 Creed load for sable sized PG

    I’d also prefer a .308, but, 6.5 can work. Wait for a true broadside, get close. Get steady. No problem. Suppressed, kids can handle a larger round than you might think. Food for thought.

    I’m sick of un-gentlemenly acts

    If someone takes offense at my kindness, that’s their problem. I ain’t changing.

    Do any of you invest in gold and silver, and if so, how?

    Interesting topic. I’ve bought and sold plenty of both over the years. I think it’s a good idea to have a little, mostly just to diversify. I have allusions (delusions?) that precious metals will be a highly desirable material of exchange in a SHTF scenario. More like a steady store of...

    Asking prayers for my daughter

    By and large, hip replacement surgery is one of the tremendous successes of modern medicine. I absolutely love doing them. She's certainly on the young side, but if you need it, you need it. She'll do great! All the same, prayers sent!

    Why you dont want to hunt elephant..?

    Having just taken my first whitetail a couple months ago - a few years after my first elephant, I can tell you that the emotions around both are real, but the elephant feels 10X or maybe even 100X more significant. I did the math. One bull elephant weighs more than all the deer and elk I’ve...

    Why you dont want to hunt elephant..?

    Interesting question. I never expected to do it, but got a most unexpected, unique, almost inconceivable chance to do it as an add-on to a buffalo hunt...... I pondered it for a day or two, and then jumped at the chance. A bunch of effort later, now the ivory and rest of it is here in the US...

    Which one would you use on Cape Buffalo -

    Don’t discount Cutting Edge Ballistics. They make some great bullets, but they’re the new kids on the block, so many aren’t aware. TSX is excellent. A-frames are excellent. The TSX might pass through a buffalo sideways, but an A-frame could too, especially if no bones are encountered. Plan...

    Moving/charging target

    For proficiency at running targets, probably nothing beats running rabbits or driven hogs. For charging targets, I think the ideas here are cool. What really counts is work on building muscle memory, loading drills, bolt cycling drills, etc. In a real charge (or shootout, or other emergency)...

    What, if anything, would you have done differently

    Relax. It’s a vacation. If you have a flight delay, or a flat tire, or the PH needs to stop in town to get something, or if your number 1 animal doesn’t show up…… relax. It’s Africa. My first time, I was way too worried about getting enough value for what I spent. Sure, it’s expensive (for...

    Classic plains game rifles and cartridges

    A pre-64 Winchester in .300 H&H, if you can find one.

    Which would you buy

    Well, I like the CZ, but maybe consider more than just the .375?

    I thought I was buying a Stevens Grant 450-400 - great price - SURPRISE SURPRISE

    Sweet deal for you. But, I can’t help but thinking that someone (or someone’s heirs) likely got less than it was worth. It happens. Not your job to fix that.

    Do you have your ideal rifle or are you still looking for it?

    Of course it will work. It’s just not ideal, which is what the OP was asking. I also don’t like re-zeroing after the suppressor comes on and off.

    Do you have your ideal rifle or are you still looking for it?

    For North America, yes. I had a remarkable fellow build me a .300 Win Mag on a Stainless Rem 700 action with a 21" threaded barrel. It is married to an Ultra 5 ThunderBeast supressor and a nice Leupold Scope. McMillan Stock. Jewel trigger. It is a tremendous shooter and it is the first...
