Just across the line from Scottsville. Centenary area

I’m in central VA. Just a bit south of Charlottesville.

Yes it is. I have went back and forth between it and the Alaskan.

Has anyone had a chance to handle one of the FTW Hunter model ruger? I’m not crazy about the looks of the rail on top but really like the way the rest of the rifle looks. Haven’t put my hands on one yet though.

Yes we came back through Atlanta. They were very efficient

My wife and I went on our first Safari in August. It was everything I hoped it would be! We have already begun planning our next trip. I got to thinking about our experience with Customs and SAPS and wondered if we just got extremely lucky or was ours the normal experience that just doesn’t get...

Little follow up. Shot the 168 at just over 2750 FPS. My wife shot gemsbok, kudu, impala, and Blesbok with it. I can say without a doubt the animals didn’t like it! Penetrated very well and left good exit holes! Unfortunately we weren’t able to recover any bullets. We had no trouble recovering...

I’m still playing with her 30-06 and my 300 wsm (180 grn). So far I’m not having any trouble get good groups. I have a load for each I’m very comfortable with but never know when the nest load might be even better . I shot an elk with 165 grn partitions years ago. While many people have moved...

I certainly hope she isn’t! However the ability to get penetration out of a lighter bullet is why I’m going with the TTSX. If I can get flatter trajectory while getting just as good penetration as compared to the 180 accubonds or such I see it as a win. I had never used either bullet so the...

We are leaving Aug 25th with 37a/b. Coming home with 37 j/h. Thanks for the report!

I had seriously thought of the 150s. I do have 760 powder I could try. Thanks

Do you mind telling me what powder you were running?

I don’t anticipate over 300. That’s about as far as she would be comfortable
