My camera case and all of the sd cards from the hunt were "lost" at the JNB airport on the layover for the return trip. I had the camera case in a jacket pocket when we arrived from Maun and it was simply gone when we boarded the flight back to ATL. A tired traveler is an easy mark at JNB...

This trip I hunted with an outfit called Bokamoso. They have a large property that borders the CKGR and get a good bit of elephant and lion intrusion from that area (elephants make big holes in fences). There are some ties between Tholo and Bokamoso such as some common ownership and shared...

A large box arrived recently at my home containing the euro mounts from my Botswana hunt. Other than some minor damage to a BW mount that can easily be repaired with a bit of glue the mounts were all in good condition. Thank goodness for bubble wrap! The journey the box took was from Maun to...

Justus is a fun guy and the lodge is beautiful. Did he get you to lift his leadwood chairs?

I have the same problem on some rifles where the scope is mounted low and caps are used. On these rifles I use Butler Creek flip up caps and carefully cut a notch in the plastic sleeve that holds the cap at the point where it would contact the bolt. The caps still stay in place and the bolts...

Did you ever decide about adding a second recoil lug?

R. H. Boatman was (may he R.I.P) quite a character. He wrote books, columns, and blogs on subjects such as Kung Fu and firearms and was never short of either words and personal opinions. I do not agree with some of his opinions, and would never take any of his writings to heart without a...

I use a pair of Winchesster M70 rifles in 30-06 and 375. Both the Winchester and the CZ models were owned by friends so I was able to handle and shoot them. I just did not care for the stock and trigger on the CZ rifles but they seemed solid. You should handle both the Winchester and the CZ...

I am sure that the special Walmart-only packages are purchased differently. Approximately a half dozen times I have been allowed to scan through the distributors' books to help the "Firearms Manager" (aka clerk) identify the item that a friend wanted to order. The distributor books appeared to...

As a good general source you might find this link useful https://www.law.cornell.edu/ You will have to know a few facts such as what court, etc. but you might find what you seek.

I am not a big fan of Walmart. However, they do buy their firearms from distributors just like everyone else does so the talk that their firearms are substandard is largely not right. They do order some special packages that are unavailable elsewhere that may be different from the normal...

Maybe a better questions is - Why would someone continually insult another man's rifle? Or better still - Would you insult another man's rifle to his face?

My opinion is that they work quite well. This thread obviously was started with the intent to bash the large U.S. firearms manufacturers and to insult everyone that owns their products. It is a poor workman that blames his tools.

I have a Featherweight that was made in Portugal. The fit and finish are at least as good as ones made in SC, and better than the ones made in Conn. Very nice bluing and average walnut. As for function, it is solid and accuracy is about what you would expect with the recent production M70...

I like Gunter. Do you know who is doing most of the guiding for him now?
