    I Confess: I Love Tikka Rifles...

    Yes! Best value without question. They aren’t picky with ammo, just flat out shoot. They finally started making standard models with threaded barrels so I snagged a 223 for a ranch gun and it’s incredibly fun to shoot.

    Re-conditioning Horns

    Gotcha, I'll try with wax alone first. For the pigment, do you just sprinkle it on as you're buffing or what?

    What did you use to give it that rich color pictured above?

    No personal experience but I did recently see a negative review on RS you may be interested in.

    A Pedestal Project for a Sable

    Looks amazing! Really like the design. I’m in the process of working on one for my buff. Mine is primarily metal because I’m terrible with woodworking!

    Pedestal skull attachment

    I'm working on a pedestal for my cape buff euro and wondering what method of attachment will be best and able to support the weight. I'll have 1" steel tube upright and debating best method of attachment. I've considered a steel plate with drywall screws. Would that support the weight without...

    New Guy from Arkansas

    Hello and welcome from a fellow Arkansan! I’m in central AR and have hunted Africa twice. Great information on this site as I’m sure you’ve already discovered.

    Leather Sling with Cape Buffalo Insert and Thumb Hole (BRAND NEW)

    Very nice. I realize it's sold, but what was the width at the shoulder?

    Discolored buffalo boss

    Is this what some taxis use? I’ve seen some work coming from Africa that has especially dark horns and wondered what they were using.

    Elephant Non Trophy Bull Hunt Zimbabwe

    So exportable then, correct? I would have a preference for animals with intact tusks. Would we be able to decline animals with broken tusks or is it strictly PH discretion?

    375 H&H loads

    I dunno, seems like a popular powder choice. I have it listed for lead core bullets but not the TSX.

    375 H&H loads

    Anyone have data or a good starting point for H4350 and Barnes 300gr TSX? None of my manuals list that combo?

    Client Rents Rifle, Client Damages Rifle or Scope, Who Should Be Responsible for Repair?

    Hah! Point taken. I certainly wouldn't let them run around with a schmidt bender or the like.

    Client Rents Rifle, Client Damages Rifle or Scope, Who Should Be Responsible for Repair?

    Interesting question. I dunno, as the operator I feel like I'd file this under "cost of doing business" and wouldn't expect the client to pay for accidental damage. As such, I'd amortize replacement costs into rental fees. I would also elect to put optics with exceptional warranties on top of...
