    Who else got busted by the "point creep" ?

    Yep. Ran into this issue. Have 6. Wyoming Fish and Game said last year it was a guarantee I’d be able to hunt this fall. I called before application deadline to find out it took 8 last year.

    Allure of the Ruger No1

    Ended up with another sorry to say. A good friend and I had dickered for years over a 1H in his possession . It always was a good laugh and his family knew of our badinage. He passed unexpectedly and suddenly. It’s now in the safe where it belongs! Thank you F Family!

    Would you be happy?

    Of course “collaborate”!! If I’ve put a round in and the animal poses a threat to 1)escape, 2)injure a member of the hunting party by all means shoot that rifle! With my thanks!!

    Bringing spent cartridges on plane in checked bag

    DO NOT ASSUME! We had to gather up the 2 expanded bullets and put them in the ammo box in that little room at Cape Town. Had a finger nail clipper with 27 take offs taken at same airport. Hate to say but I wouldn’t try without having the SAPS paperwork. Things are not the same there as...

    Current state of Dangerous Game optics?

    CZ, Sako,Ruger all have integral bases on come models though usually proprietary rings are necessary. Alaska Arms makes great rings that are qd for the Ruger! The mounts on Rigbys are bulletproof but they damn well better be!

    Current state of Dangerous Game optics?

    Have run the vortex st through 70 458’s without issue. Was absconded with! Now on a 3.5” turkey. No issues. Going to try an h2. Have a viper 1-8 on it now. Am happy with it in qr rings but it added a bit of weight. 458 isn’t beating me up with either so may keep the lpvo

    Current state of Dangerous Game optics?

    Lpvo’s give the option of reach so to speak. I have run both and find that I plan to mount the lpvo but have a quality red dot as a backup. There are good QR rings for the lpvo but not as many for the red dot.
