Sorry to hear of your friend & how it has effected you also.
Just today they buried one of my friends killed in a helicopter hunting/culling accident, the circumstances of that crash were very similar to one I experienced also !
I was also in Alaska for some months, flew a lot around the State...
This is funny & fun fact the Black Bear Baculum is near double the size of Grizzly-Brown Bears.
But if hunting for a trophy Baculum - Oosik or Cock Bone, you would do well to hunt Walrus !
Of course pales in comparison to extinct species of Walrus.
This looks like a fine rifle, how do the older 1999 Montana Rifles compare do you think ?
My buddy has a bunch of them to move on cheap from a Gun shop closing down, all models calibers, one is a 7mm Rem mag & I was eyeing it up to build another .458Win, a couple of visual things I don’t like...
A Water Buffalo Bullock or any Bovine actually be it Cape Buffalo - Bison or Farm breed Cattle that has had his testicles interfered with, either by remove or crimping (normally removal) these are called Steers in my country until a certain age (when full grown & Mature) then they become...
We had some info on these a while back, good to see them move forward.

Arr @Red Leg your walls & furnishings always exude high quality & Good taste (maybe a Bob or two as well) lol
I just noticed by fluke I painted my garage wall a very similar shade of Green & it does set off the Euro Skulls.
Emm ok doesn’t show in the photos but it is close !
I bought some cheap ones just to test on my trip to Guinea Bissau as I had so many planes & such to catch.
Just RSH Smart Tags only cost NZ $24 for 4 off aliexpress .
They were absolutely fantastic & worked amazingly, it was great piece of mind to check & see the bags were loaded on multiple...
Well we/I have done a few Giraffe hunts with clients, all have been spot stalk & mostly Bulls & those are most times a problem animal, ie busting up fences or starting to breed over his own progeny, so a specific animal is hunted, it can be very difficult once they suspect you are interested in...
I hope your health isn't too bad & recoverable, I Know the age part isn't at this stage !
When I first saw this I thought Oh what are you buying this time ?
As I remember you were buying some hunting or retiring land last time ?
They are great old rifles & the main stay of South African firearms pre Martini & after I believe, been trying to get a nice Sporter to come back with my others that are in SA.
I’m not a cartridge engineer but all things considered.
This also from your Net !
“Rimmed cartridge cases are generally considered inherently stronger at the base than otherwise-identical rimless cases
. This is due to the added structural integrity (or "hoop strength") provided by the solid...
Whole animals, birds & fish kept in the freezer are best done as soon as you can, as mentioned freezer burn will make it difficult to clean up nicely,
Capes & skins arent nearly as bad & mine have lasted many years before being done.
Lots of people I know actually use their freezers as Quasi...
That would be the complete opposite actually, as the extractor groove weakens a case slightly or at least a case without a groove would have more strength.
It is a coincidence that most lower pressure cartridges are rimmed & are used in a lot of older designed actions or made of lesser steel...
