    Chapuis 9.3X74R - advice sought

    If you like historical elegance in an effective, excellent cartridge that gets little recognition, you will appreciate the 9.3 x 74R. I have owned it in drillings and doubles which I have since sold. Due to age/health I am now relegated to shooting large boar. I now use a single Blaser K95. It...

    New Buffalo call your shot

    What is the TRUE cost of my African Hunting Safari!

    Indeed. The memories never loose their worth or meaning and never will become liquidated “things”. Seems to become truer as we get older.

    What is the TRUE cost of my African Hunting Safari!

    Does anyone ever go on these hunts and have no interest in taking a trophy home? I certainly don’t. The meat will never go to waste.

    If they were prettier…… the “doubles” That is, of course.

    Elephant with a bow?

    Video or multiple eyewitnesses? If not, it is BS.

    Italian doubles?

    Not at all my experience with F. A. I. R. 9.3 or my rizzini .416 both were regulated at 50 m with the most “popular“ cartridge weight. A couple inches maybe.

    Tungsten buckshot for leopard follow up?

    I autopsied a perp in 1986 in Maryland. The Statie’s used 00 buck on his sorry ass.

    You want to buy something special, you want to treat yourself, what rifle do you buy?

    Sometimes that doesn’t work too well. I’ve got a BD 14 in .22 Hornet/.308/20 ga. I ordered another one in June 2023 with 9.3 in place of the .308. It STILL does not exist

    Why Buy A Blaser K95?

    Wow! I’ve never had a problem between 4 K95 frames and 6 barrels. I would hate to have to try to find a smith for that job. Most are glorified AR part assemblers. That is good information.
