    Non Trophy Elephant Bulls Omay Hunt Special

    I understand this is a question for the PH but does anyone know if one has the option to hold out for an elephant with larger broken tusk or must take a 20# if it is the fist to present itself? Any flexibility in choosing?

    My thoughts on recoil

    Tanks, what does the gun weigh

    Allure of the Ruger No1

    Maybe someone tried to extract a separated case with a reamer or ? I have a hard time imagining the factory would let this pass inspection but maybe it happened. The fired case tells you what you need to know.

    What new Ruger would you like to see in a limited special run?

    Ruger no 1 in 500/416 or 416 no 2 with a special 1/4 rib three leaf safari sight. Change the front sight to a safari style with brass bead and flip up night sight. Definitely redo front sight in some form or fashion, please. I would opt for a provision for red dot sight, etc. but not scope. How...

    1959 Winchester Model 70 headed my way :)

    Haha, I get it. I have a 1957 m-70 300 H&H I took to the eastern Brooks Range to hunt Grizzly partly to stay out of the rain. Even then I carried it in a soft water proof gun case. Have to admit the gun with the pad looked good.

    If you are going to refinish it and add a pad why are worried about taking it out in the rain?

    Carnac the Magnificent - Heym prediction

    Supply and demand ebbs and flows. True we are in a period of demand with limited supply however the market is very small, which, in my opinion, may become saturated quickly. (I know, sounds like Marketing 101) Would anyone venture to guess how many double rifles Heym makes a year? Together with...

    The King of double rifle calibres, Europe and Africa..

    A lot of the 470 produced today come in at 10 1/2 pounds which seems great for carring but 1/2 pound shy for shooting? I have never shot one so you 470 men help me out on the recoil side. I’m talking about off the shelf Markel, etc., with correct stock length but no other custom stock work...

    Good Gun Deals This Week

    During the late 1960s a lot of 303 Enfield rifles and carbines appeared on the US markets through retailers such as Woolworth. They were in barrels or in not so attractive displays for $7.99, maybe, if I remember correctly. Also, available was the military ammo which, I believe, was loaded with...
