    Montana Rifle Company TSAVO in .375 H&H - Shooting!!!

    Ian, I have talked to you guys the last 2 years at the SCI convention in Nashville. I am in Fenton, Mi and have wanted to get by your place to see the operations. But I see now there are a couple dealers in Michigan, Franks and Jays. I assume I would have to order through them which is OK. I...

    What knife are you carrying everyday right now?

    I also carry a Victorinox Tinker for years. Once in a while I forget to put it in my checked bag and have lost a couple to airlines. Once going into a Red Wings game at Joe Louis arena, I had to go back outside and bury it in a snowbank!!

    Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph - Due In April! $349.99

    That's a good price. I have one and I really like it. I tried it out before I took it to the rifle range. Checked it out swinging golf club past it. I only did it once, I'm too shaky and thought I would hit it!!!

    375 flanged magnum ammo needed

    As of right now he is looking for loaded ammo. He doesn't reload but I do and I have him saving his cases. If we get that far I will need dies. I have lots of bullets. Thanks

    375 flanged magnum ammo needed

    My friend who I hunted in Zimbabwe in 2019 is heading back soon. He has a 375 flanged magnum double and needs some ammo. Anybody know where he can get some? He has some but would prefer a couple more boxes, soft points, as he has enough solids.. Thanks

    Spring bears anyone?

    Huge black bears. I am trying to get a tag here in Michigan and will bait on my property if I get one. Probably won't get anything that size but it will be satisfying to get a decent size one!!

    Question on shipping ammo

    Pre printed labels is the way to go. As Newboomer stated, drop off is easiest. I drop off at a local independent shipper that UPS, Fedex and USPS picks up every day.

    Is 5-6 days hunting enough time?

    I agree with most here, 10 would be my minimum as it was on my one trip there. A long time to get there and a longer time to get back!!!

    Spotting Scope for Mountain Hunting

    I say it depends. I have not hunted chamois and you may be moving a lot. I went Dall sheep hunting in Alaska and had Swaro's 10x42's. I figured my guide was the one to judge the sheep, and he was. Problem I had that we stayed in a spot for some time and I was not able to see any details on...

    Two Additional Elephant Permits 2024

    Thanks, Rare Breed. I am not sure if the outfitter knows about this but Scott will find out. If not he may go to a taxidermist and see about getting some replicas made. I know Scott's father brought back tusks, but that was in the 70's.
