    Gun safe recommendation

    They aren't cheap, but Pendleton makes the only safe I found that fit my needs. I can fit my 10.5' short barreled rifles to my 32' muskets. They customize it for both what you have and what you think you may have in the future.

    A BIG BORE BULLPUP - A CUSTOM BUILD FROM 1988 - GUN DIGEST ARTICLE

    That looks like something only the 80's could produce. Fugly but cool at the same time.

    Big Bore Rifle Targets

    I 100% agree with this. For some reason, many people who only shoot rifles, don't see the value in shotgun shooting. Growing up upland and dove hunting, I found transitioning to double rifles was a breeze. Exact same concept, just two bullets rather than shot.

    The .375H&H a very versatile rifle

    I got into a 9.3x74R early in my big bore quest. I ended with a 450/400 in Africa, but I still have and love the 9.3.

    Last day of Safari sadness

    I know exactly how you feel. Even as we were rolling off the runway, I was praying for the plane to break down and delay me another 2 months.

    The .375H&H a very versatile rifle

    I have never had a 375 and doubt I ever will. I am however, intrigued by the 375 Flanged. How does it compare your mind to the 375 Magnum or 9.3x74R?

    Pronghorn! Advice? Must have gear? Outfitters? Will be a rifle hunt

    I had never hunted Pronghorn, so I brought two large coolers. The entire animal easily would have fit into one and left me room for a 24 pack of drinks. I hunted in New Mexico and it was pretty straight forward- find a shootable one and stalk it. That wasn't hard but it took forever. Over 4...

    2 rifle Battery. Please Share Yours

    I took a 450-400 Jeffery and .275 Rigby to Africa. I have a few other combos that would work well-Chapuis 9.3x74R, Steyr Mannlicher Schoenauer 30-06, and Bailey Bradshaw Rotary 7x57R.

    Religions, Evolution and related Sciences

    As a Presbyterian (thereby Calvinist?) I struggled with how it can be both. I understand it now, and watch my young kids as they try to understand the concept as well. It's difficult to find a synonymous example to help them understand it.

    Sling or no sling

    I put slings on both my rifles. My double weighs 10.5 pounds. Whenever we were coming up on game in bushes, I took it off. If we were in open country, I just left it hanging on the rifle.

    Any recommendations on the French Riviera?

    The time of year you decide to go makes a big difference also. We were just there this past August and it was packed. There is a large parking garage on the top of a mountain and we took that and walked down to a bus. You can buy the bus tickets online. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law went...
