    Cutting Edge Bullets

    While I cannot vouch for their performance I've had absolutely no issues with them (400 grain in a .416) feeding from my control feed Ruger M77 Hawkeye (hinged floor plate magazine) in my hand loaded ammo at 3.225" OAL. Off of sticks the rifle with that load groups right around a inch as long as...

    Guns.com - User Beware

    Sorry to hear of your misfortune but you're not the first nor will you be the last to go through this. I've had several friends / acquaintances have similar problems like you did. Based on their experiences I'd never buy anything from them regardless of what the "deal is". Piss poor customer...

    1st crated shipment of trophies

    I have a quick question regarding the shipping of crated trophies. I was informed yesterday that my crate of trophies from my 2024 hunt was being put into a con/box and that it would be shipping from Africa to Houston by the end of the month. My question is how does the US agent or importer know...

    Taxidermy from RSA to USA - Air or Sea shipping?

    I received a quote of $ 1,900.00 to truck it from Houston to Myrtle Beach SC and an additional $ 150.00 if an electric tail gate truck was required. Not to my liking I've opted to pick it up with one of my trailers once it arrives in the US.

    Taxidermy from RSA to USA - Air or Sea shipping?

    While others results may vary and be different than mine I got a quote of $ 9,000 dollars to "air-freight" my crate from the RSA to the USA (Atlanta airport) as opposed to $ 4,800 dollars to "ocean ship" my crate from the same location in the RSA to a port in Houston, Tx. Yes that's an...

    Shoot with one eye open, and one closed, or both open?

    I shoot with one eye open and one eye closed anytime I'm shooting a rifle and both eyes open while shooting trap, skeet, sporting clays or hunting with my shotguns. YMMV

    Trophies are ready, question on Customs and collect charges

    First off I want to thank anyone in advance that takes the time to respond to my question below. Unfortunate as it may be I've heard telltale nightmare about ridiculous incurred costs once the trophies are in this country. I currently have two reputable importers (both came from recommendations...

    If you want to shoot dangerous game..

    I agree with you 100%, as hunters we should try to let others "hunt as they choose" as opposed to trying to get fellow outdoorsmen to fit into "their mold". There's more than enough bad publicity from the anti-hunting community for which they love to watch us argue or shun our own people...
