    How many others map out their future firearm purchases?

    Yep, it's all fun and games on the flats until you hunt elk in the mountains with a heavy "African Safari" designed rifle, especially while carrying a backpack. Those that do will only do it once. That's why I carry my 8.5lb scoped Brownings in the mountains when after elk. And, they work really...

    35 Whelen or 300 Win??

    “Bob, take the .35 Whelen in your hand and load a 225gr Barnes TTSX to the same velocity as the .338 WINCHESTER MAGNUM. When you can’t, it will be time for you to leave and buy a .338 WM”. LOL

    35 Whelen or 300 Win??

    Only because Harry didn’t have a .338 WINCHESTER MAGNUM. LOL

    35 Whelen or 300 Win??

    Townsend @Bob Nelson 35Whelen gets astronomical velocities out of his .35 Whelen using his own proprietary powders. As a new member, if you stick around here long enough and read EVERYTHING .35 Whelen threads/posts, you’ll see. LOL

    Hunting Ethics Of Taking Female Animals In Africa

    The only gemsbok I’ve taken was an old female past breeding age according to my PH. She was by herself and had decent horns. My PH said the horn bases were as wide as many male gemsbok he has seen. At the start of my Safari, I told my PH I would prefer taking older animals if possible and for...

    What's the most Mambas you have seen on a safari?

    None on my one African Safari. Thankfully it was too cold. However, I occasionally see one now and again when shopping at Wal Mart. They tend to look dangerous so I stay away from them. LOL

    CZ BRNO ZKK602 375 H&H

    I “watched” that one on GB at the same time a .375 Ruger RSM went for $2,125. Both very fair prices I thought. Congrats!

    The “three finger gap”? I’ll have to remember that one. Ha! Ha!

    Need Info on 458 Rifle

    +1 on the chamber cast. Then if all good you CAN also fire .458 WM in the Lott chambered rifle. You probably already knew that though.

    Need Info on 458 Rifle

    If it’s an Interarms Zastava, it should have the rifle’s manufacture date on the right side of the back of the receiver in front of the bolt handle. Unless it was delineated. Mine is VERY faint and basement lighting sucks but looks like 12/82.

    Hopefully, one of the Mauser action experts on here will chime in.

    Need Info on 458 Rifle

    Yeah, I don’t know? Here’s mine. The top one is an older semi custom with the inside trigger guard magazine release and the bottom one is a newer model with the push button release forward of the trigger guard.

    Need Info on 458 Rifle

    Very cool. I love these old “mystery” rifles. I don’t see the older style “inside the trigger guard” magazine floor plate release of a Zastava though. The newer models had a push button release on the forward right side of the trigger guard. But the safety looks the same.

    Thoughts on the CZ 600 Series?

    Well, I would carry my 10.5lb scoped CZ550 hunting in the MOUNTAINS here while wearing a BACKPACK if I HAD too. But I don’t. My Browning A Bolt or X Bolt at 8.5lbs scoped works just great for ME. BTW, real men would carry a Browning 1918A2 at 19.8lbs when climbing mountains with a WW2 military...
