Yes. Even a less than perfect Buff hunt is a much more vivid memory.

Starting about here in a current thread: Post in thread 'Question About Case Size For Flying' https://www.africahunting.com/threads/question-about-case-size-for-flying.101314/post-1570210

I'm not sure that is entirely accurate. I've read that 37% of Iranians consider themselves to be Muslim, but 51% consider themselves to be non-religious. Not sure where the others fall. Our good friend's daughter married an Iranian man a couple of years ago and we attended the wedding...

IMO, change anything and your POI changes slightly. I haven't noticed a big difference between rifles, but throw in a different direction for the breeze... I prefer to just Zero off the sticks (preferably Quads), if same as expected to use hunting. Most practice is the same way.

RCBS Universal hand priming tool, But... Unifirming the p.pocket or not depends on the brand of the brass. I'm pretty selective on brands I reload for this reason. I buy and use my uniforimg tool on new Norma brass. Not because the primer pocket depth is off. Norma brass is just so tight it...

Well said. But I think that Rigby is very much as asset, as well.

On the continuing support - or lack thereof - by France. It's been that way for some time:

Its unlikely that you will put a large optic on a DG rifle, so that will help. And if your first shot from close (20 yards) turns into a bit of a rodeo, you might even appreciate having 1x on the low end. (amhik) ;)

My three include a T3X Hunter in 30-06 that was my Plains Game rifle in 2021. It needed bedding to get from about 1.5 MOA to ~MOA or better. That's 3 shots. I'm an MOA-ish shooter and no way could I hold that for 10 consecutive shots.

+1 for El Campo and especially their Jalapeño Cheese Link sausage. Indirect heat on the BBQ to just bring it to the recommend 165° F. Excellent. Wish I had more made. And I'll put in a plug for Brenda Baird Taxidermy. She did a great job on my Jan-2025 Nilgai - and the price was reasonable.

39.5" for my one and only. (According to my taxidermist.)

I had to get a supervisor to rule on same a few years ago at Love Field. Finally was OK'd to keep them. The carry-on was my only luggage, too.
