Not really into the cult of personality. The only people I want to hunt Africa with are my PH and trackers.

TSX does not have a plastic tip, TTSX does and it would be a long bullet. A 300gr TSX is 1.492" long, the 250gr TTSX is 1.438' long.

Ah yes, I forgot about the color scheme, I took was warned about blue colors being like a neon sign for a tsetse buffet.

The following from my hunt report .... "The quintessential Tsetse fly is an irritating presence. These things are about four times the size of a house fly and the bite is incredible. They are also tough little suckers; you can’t simply swat them; they have to be crushed. They attack in swarms...

Not yet, I'll let you know if I find out anything.

Well this may start a rehash of what's already been rehashed several times over. In any case I surely do hope that you are correct because I purchased a VX6HD 1x6x24 Firedot just a few months ago for my 375 H&H. I too believe that it will be perfect for buffalo and any other African critter.

Are there trustworthy companies that can ship firearms between the US and Africa (RSA?). I had read an article in the SCI magazine about this, I think it was by Boddington, unfortunately that is long gone now. If at all possible at times it may be advantageous to ship. For instance, if you...

even though this topic has been broached on occasion I wanted to thank for brining it up. I have a project that touches a similar question but with a different cartridge, one that does not exist as yet. I'm working on the reamer diagrams now in the area of the throat so any additional info I can...

Yes, send it back and have them address the issue(s). You spent good money on it, have them make it right.

I know nothing about Fierce so I did "The Google" on it. It appears that they are into light weight rifles. If this rifle is the 6lbs I see it will likely kick like a mule. A 10lb 375 H&H has about 40lbs of free recoil. Granted it's not a big bore but ....? Anyway, you have what you have. Get...

Ditch the picatinny rail and get a decent mounting system. That thing is going to interfere with reloading in a pinch. Doesn't fit the rifle anyway.

Hmmmmm, I see a "Hotline Monoliths" dropdown off The Discrete Ballistics home page. Hotline is the webstore that David told me he was going to set up with Peregrine. I'm interested in Bushmaster so got in there and do not see any VRG-2 at all or .375's but I do see my .510 VRG-3. Hotline is...

David Stark is "Discrete Ballistics" ( https://discreetballistics.com/ ), Sundance WY. When I first got interested in Peregrines Discrete Ballistics was the the only US distributer that I found, and like I said his interests are subsonic. I called, had a chat, and he added my order to his...

I ass I assume you are speaking of David Stark. I've had ,any conversations with him about my specific needs. It takes a while from order to delivery but I don't think the issue is on his end. David is into subsonic and that seems to be his focus but he also knows that he needs to broaden his...

I had a 375 H&H built over the last year and need something effective for that. I thought of, and can get, A-Frames but I wanted to try to try monoliths. Just about everyone is saying TSX is the greatest monolith ever, so what do I do? ... get Peregrines and hope for the best. The 375 is new to...
