    Neighbors

    Decorative boulders. When I worked a job that often required us to be very close to the edge of the road pavement, I would often stand to the side and lean out holding the spud bar like a walking stick. Sometimes that’s the only thing that would get traffic to slow down. They didn’t care to hit...

    Credit Cards

    What about negotiating for the waiving of observer fees if the hunter and observer brought enough cash (~<$10k ea) to pay in full? Has anyone ever tried that option?

    What are you reading?

    Going to crack into this one tonight. @Altitude sickness , that is not surprising in the least at this point. It’s still a bummer, but neither surprising nor unusual.

    'Shooting the British Double Rifle' new 4th edition

    That makes sense now. I was trying for a minute or two to figure the math on that from the Australia website!

    Good African Safari Shirt?

    Pretty sure I read he was involved with them at one point. I’d really like to try one of their shirts during the sale, but that’s still not an inexpensive experiment.

    'Shooting the British Double Rifle' new 4th edition

    Buffalo Arms was super easy to deal with over the phone when placing the order. I called them last week, they took my info, sent me tracking today. I’m really looking forward to the information in this edition. I haven’t been able to justify the cost of the others on the secondhand market...

    Scope Mounts - Quick Detach System (M98 and/or Rigby .375H&H), Wanted - TY!

    I may just have to take the hump off, but it seems a little uncivilized. The warns are alright, but they’re not as refined.

    Scope Mounts - Quick Detach System (M98 and/or Rigby .375H&H), Wanted - TY!

    Talley QD bases were going to be my own choice, but I don’t want to grind off the clip hump on the rear of the action if I don’t absolutely have to.

    What's your one favorite caliber?

    303 British. I don’t see ever not having at least one rifle in this caliber. It works in every rifle format and a heavy for caliber bullet in a tapered and rimmed case is about as pretty as it gets.

    Any Appetite for a New <$10K Double?

    I’m all for making doubles more accessible, but for those two calibers I myself wouldn’t even be interested in the used market variety. Just because it’s got two barrels doesn’t mean it’s a double rifle. Caliber choice has a lot to do with that and neither of those, again just in my estimation...

    Funding a Safari with Facebook Marketplace

    It’s how I fund my “personal” hobbies. I enjoy antique and thrift stores. The other day I paid $20 for half of a duck call and had it sold online for $100 before I left the parking lot. I also just shipped out ~$20 worth of investment in board games for $300. Doesn’t matter how off beat the...

    Question for Verney-Carron Owners

    I believe Noblex shares the same “footprint” as the Doctor red dots. They are not 1:1 compatible with Trinicon (or Aimpoint?) and I do not know how thick of an adapter is required to mate the crossover. If you have pictures of the rail and mount, they may beneficial in identifying what you...

    ZEISS DIATAL- ZA 6X42 T* GERMAN #1 RIFLE SCOPE

    My favorite reticle. I’ll have to ponder on which rifle this could live.
