you guys and all your "Special and Unique calibers kill me. :giggle: the answer is very simple I shoot the damn thing with whatever gun is in my hands when the target appears. end of story very simple. you dont play around trying to reload to a solid or some such non sense you just aim and...

Major, I have the same vintage knife it has served me well and I too never leave home without a knife always have at least one on me since I was like maybe 7 or 8 yrs old. In the day every boy in the "country" carried a knife even to school it wasnt a issue, knives were a essential tool of...

Skinners blade look at huntinglabpedigree.com look for classifieds litters and pedigrees. with hunting dogs its all about the blood line and all of those dogs will have eyes, hips, elbows everything certified and they will ship them. I used to breed and train many moons ago. Going this week...

I highly suggest that you stick with labs you are in the north. And my personal opinion is springers are a ROYAL POS PIA! useless even the worst lab I have had was a million times better field dog than a springer. My best friend has had 2 of those POS and my father had one. All they do is...

nice rifle! might I suggest a low power quality scope for it. FYI if you are shooting off hand in Africa that usually is a oh shit situation and your target is moving hopefully NOT at you! LOL usually off sticks.

Art was a interesting guy I met with him many years ago in his Kentucky factory he regailed me with tails of his muskox hunt which was full body mount in his office. I did not buy a rifle from him because they were cock on close and that put me off and they are rather stout and didn't balance...

Oh now don't be a wimp! Black rat snakes are nice and that ones just a baby. Now if it was a copperhead or a rattler that's a different bird. Black rats wont bite even if you mess with them they are good mouse and rat getters. BTW nice turkey

1st thing to do with any new factory rifle is to re bed the action and free float the barrel. If you could pillar bed it even better. There are lots of how to videos out there and it isn't that hard. Just be slow and careful to not lock it into the stock use plenty release agent OR pay a...

My 416 rem was built by Speedy Gonzales and I am fond of Kenny Jarrett stuff and old Shilens love the old DGA. I have heard good things about lind but I haven't built a rifle in several yrs. I have used a couple of other guys that were super but both dead now, guess I am older too. I don't...

Redleg I do not disagree that a Dakota 76 is a fine gun BUT my problem with Dakota is and always has been they are in my opinion over priced for a kinda maybe semi custom gun. I can have a full custom gun built to my specs for the same or less money that will kick the ass of a Dakota. Any...

No way I would put down a dime on a hunt or anything else in the future right now as the future is UNKNOWN! many business world wide will go under before this is all said and done and money will be lost in all industries. From what I know of the hunting industry I will generalized that most...

off the rack I will take an older american made win 70 CRF any day! Old rem700 custom when they first came out with synthetic stock and stainless barrel are nice if you can live without CRF. New REMs are POS! as regards custom guns there were and are lots of guys in america that make you a...

I will keep the answer very simple buy the best quality optics you can afford and don't look back! Nothing worse than seeing crap optics on fine rifles but people skimp on optics all the time then regret it later. Good high quality scope is going to start at 1500 USD and go up from there. I...

Major you are the man! Love it there is NO PC IN YOU my friend. Guess what no PC in me either! The older I get the meaner and less PC. The poor prince is what we used to call pussy whipped! Would have loved to haved share a tiger hunt and a fine single malt scotch with you in the day!

Tanks I have no issues with long distance shooting I love to do it myself JUST not a animals. As you know it requires specialized expensive guns, ammo and optics and a lot of practice. I usually carry a gun capable of long range but just don't want to take those shots at an animal. My...
