    Oregon to have "criminalizing hunting" on ballot ....

    As a Washington State resident, I am watching this closely because I waterfowl hunt in Oregon. I don’t think that it’ll pass on the ballot. But putting something on the ballot is almost as dangerous as going to court. All reason and sanity leaves the room!?!?

    Wanted left handed model 70 375 or up. Or left handed CZ.

    These rifles are pretty tough to find. When you do find one, they can be pretty expensive. One of the last ones that I saw was on GB. It was a Winchester Model 70 Super Express in 375 H&H, and had an initial bid of $4600. Which is expensive for a Winchester!?!? During the pandemic, I found...

    "Plus Peak" ammunition by Federal

    This Plus Peak technology from Federal has the potential to be revolutionary!?!? Obviously with this load technology they taking aim at Hornady with their PRC cartridges. I wonder what cartridge(s) they’re going to use this technology next with? If they do a 30-06, that could give close to...

    Scope Recommendation for First-Time 35 Whelen Project

    I really like the Trijicon scopes and I’d recommend looking at the Swaro Z3 line of scopes. Very good glass for the price.

    Dakota 76 Traveler in .375/.300 H&H

    Beautiful set!!! IMHO that’s a great caliber combination!!! I have a Traveler in 416 Rem Mag, and asked Parkwest a couple of years ago if they could build me an additional (second barrel). They said that my serial number didn’t allow them to do so. I’d love to get a barrel in 300 H&H or Win!!!

    Want To Buy Lefty 375 H&H, 404 Jeffrey or 416 Rigby

    Yeah, for me I’d have definitely been interested in a 243!!! Zero interest in a 270, but if it was a 280…. I already have a LH 338 Win. A 308 Win could be interesting!?!?

    Want To Buy Lefty 375 H&H, 404 Jeffrey or 416 Rigby

    Left handed safari rifles are difficult to find. I suffer from the same affliction of being left handed. Also, rifles such as Winchester Model 70s can be got for a right handed shooter for usually well under $2500. A left handed rifle of the same make and model easily go for north of $2500.

    Safari Rifle Market-Have we reached the point of no return on cost?

    I agree with you 100%!!! I look at several venues including auctions to find LH rifles. The last LH 375 H&H that I saw was a Winchester Model 70 Super Express for $4600 on GB. That rifle was priced about $2000 too high, or I’d have bought it!!!

    Safari Rifle Market-Have we reached the point of no return on cost?

    As someone who is constantly looking for LH rifles on any format that I can find, I would respectfully disagree with you. Demand is high for LH rifles, and supply is pretty low. I look at this forum (of course), Cabela’s, GB, Guns.com, and Guns International multiple times a week. No joy...

    Safari Rifle Market-Have we reached the point of no return on cost?

    I’m having a hell of a time trying to find a LH magazine in 375 H&H that’s under $10K. LH safari rifles are very difficult to find!!!

    Duck hunting shotgun question...

    I have only one camo waterfowl shotgun (Benelli M2). My other two are black SBE 3s (one 12ga and one 20ga). All left handed of course, as civilized hunters have!?!? Seriously, no duck or goose will care what color your shotgun is!!! Unless it’s hot pink or something like that…
