    First Focal Plane vs Second for Plains Game

    I used to be a keep it simple sfp guy. I live close to a guy who owns a outfitter in Colorado, who is a very smart guy and talking to him and going to the range with him I'm a ffp guy now. Alot of info on a ffp scope, if you can spot your impact, either hit or miss all the info you need for a...

    Rigby would like to know your caliber preference(s) for a Highland Stalker model without iron sights

    My guess, it's uncharted waters for them, it will have a noticeable different look. Possibly trying to get a younger age group of gun buyer. I'm 36, only thing I want with iron sights is a big bore, 9.3 and up even then want a low power scope with quick mount rings. On a 300 and down I don't...

    Rigby would like to know your caliber preference(s) for a Highland Stalker model without iron sights

    Agreed, let's twist it so I can twist modern high bc bullet in it. I have both in a Tikka and I believe they have the same twist rate.

    Rigby would like to know your caliber preference(s) for a Highland Stalker model without iron sights

    I have a great respect for older nicely made rifles and the gun makers who made them. That said alot of my rifles and builds I have don't have iron sights. I like my long range, carbon stocks and optics. So this is very interesting to me, a Rigby rifle that fits how a younger person is buying...

    Africa...when will you be priced out??

    I know the main focus is Africa. Myself I haven't taken a domestic hunt in 5 years. I was just bringing up the point from a good source that hunts are not booking as fast as they used to.

    Africa...when will you be priced out??

    I use a booking agent Bullseye outdoor adventures to help book hunts, and while talking to him a last month he said this is the first year he still had openings this late in the year for his deer and elk stuff. So hopefully stuff levels off and prices come down. Now what does come down mean...

    Wanted, none working double shotgun

    I looked up and called Dan Morgan. He had just what I was looking for. While i had him on the phone I asked him about his business. I didn't keep him on the phone very long but what a cool guy to talk to. Not a lot of people left anywhere in the world with those skills.

    NEW ZELAND: New Zealand Tahr & Red Stag

    Ill never forget the guide saying after the shot "that was proper hunting skill and stalking". Those brows are the main reason it got taken guide said the same thing about them.

    Wanted, none working double shotgun

    That's what I'm planning. A friend owns a machine shop, at 16ga or bigger I have a better chance of getting scrap tubing or round stock to make the barrels long enough. I can't say I have ever measured a hand rail but just guessing I would think 20ga and under would feel a touch small
