.450 Bushmaster isn't crazy. You can find viable hunting loads for less than 2 bucks a round. They actually have one major advantage over the calibers listed in the title. Subsonic rounds are available from multiple companies, loaded with bullets that would handle most pigs just fine. You are...

I use the simple front/back bags shown below for sighting in a new rifle or after any work/adjustments are done to a rifle. For practice, I shoot off a backpack, my knee, the fender of a 4 wheeler, off hand. To replicate what I might have with me in the field. I'm not a competitive shooter of...

PM Incoming on the Weatherby.

Yes, the Capra looks like a very interesting rifle. In .280 AI, I couldn't imagine a much better setup for deep backcountry Elk, Mule Deer, Sheep, Etc.

I just purchased a Vanguard Talon in .270, I should have it my hands early next week. It will mostly be a Pronghorn and Mule Deer gun. After my M70 .300WM tore up an entire mule deer quarter a couple years ago, I decided to take a couple steps down. I finally gave up on the Browning X bolt in...

These are great guns. If I didn't l already have a 629PD I would be PM'ing you right now. With all the extra kit included that seems like a very fair price.

I've been looking at Denver, Newark, Jo'burg flights on United for the last several months, trying to gauge the cheapest days and trip durations for my trip next May. Fortunately, tickets aren't yet for sale on the dates I will be travelling but the cheapest options were around 180k to 190k...

It has nothing to do with my political views, I am far from a "lefty". My point was that actions have consequences. The chaos going on in air travel right now is a direct consequence of some very stupid actions. Multiple airlines aren't cancelling flights for fun. They're doing it because they...

Its called capitalism, it used to be a very important thing in the United States. It isn't Delta's fault that a clown has turned the world into a Circus. Consequences are a Bitch, Huh? By the way, it isn't just Delta, United had announced they are doing the same thing, for the same, singular...

This is a great tip. Amazon and Ebay are two other great options. I keep African Cichlids and I learned this trick with Filter Foams. Aquarium Filter companies (and apparently Pelican) run their companies like printer companies used to. They'll give the printer/filter/case away, knowing they'll...

I know I am. I've known for a while, but it really hit me when I realized people who aren't bright enough to work an internet forum still get to vote. How depressing. I guess that's how a reality TV star wins 2 elections. "Get off my lawn" is right.

This post makes a lot more sense, but directly contradicts that second paragraph of your first post in several ways. Maybe you just needed to get something off your chest, I dont know. I think the general economics of the world are more to blame than any one group of people or any "social...

You state that the "Arabs" have been "driving the economics" since the 50's. So, it took 70 years for them to affect the price of a Kudu Trophy? Prices have only seemed to spike in the last 5 years or so, and not evenly, or everywhere, as other posts have indicated. You also say "the...

Agreed. I was there with the goal of handling a few different Beretta 92s. They had a brand new 96 for $849 and and old, very beat up, 96 in the gun room for $850. It looked like it had been a duty pistol for years. $849 for the new one is below MSRP, but still much higher than you can find else...

I was there yesterday afternoon and had a good look around. They had a Ruger No 1. in .416 (Rem Mag I think), but it was listed at $2999.99 It was in great condition, but a little steep for my budget. They also had a '52 model 70, I cant remember the caliber, it wasn't in great shape though. I...
