    The Law of Diminishing Return

    You could always restock it to the exact measurements of the Rigby Big Game and come out WAY cheaper to boot.

    Great buffalo video …. Lessons learned

    AMAZING how quickly that buffalo got to its feet and was charging. If the shooter had place the finishers from more to the right, not only would the angle to the vitals be improved, but he would have seen the bull get up sooner. Agree with Scott about any approach from the front. Video made my day!

    Show your work horses and bubba rifles

    IMO all AR platform/plastic or metal stocked, are automatically "bubba rifles". Thinking about getting one for my first dedicated thermal, though.

    Politics

    Several years back, Europe was refusing to pay for our drugs what Americans themselves were paying for the same drugs. Who was subsidizing whom.

    Thinking of a Wolf Hunt

    If you are willing to enlarge your scope, I hear positive things about hunting wolves in Macedonia.

    If it was scabbard wear it would show on the barrel, too. Guess it just rode in his hand.

    Looking for recommendations for first time hunt

    Please research beyond my limited recommendations though having said that Bruce Watson is someone I could recommend. His clients killed the biggest leopard shot in Zimbabwe last year. If he doesn't have the plains game to suit you, he can recommend some of his friends.

    Mispronounced gun names

    See, that's the real problem. If we pronounce it that way, to people who have always, uniformly pronounced it "luh-POOH-ah" we are going to be ridiculed as a know it all, or punched. Same with "sock-oh"...would you rather be explaining it forever to people or just go along with everyone around...

    But when I called them, the woman answering said, "Lew-a-pold Stevens"

    Looking for recommendations for first time hunt

    For a first safari, I would decidedly look into Zimbabwe. There are areas with plains game, but my first safari was for buffalo. A bit more of a walk on the wild side. Can't imagine anyone not liking the Zambezi Valley, for instance. Even a SA doctor I had to visit said he was jealous, and that...

    Most Overrated Hunt and Most Underrated Hunt

    Exactly. My nephew shot a nice ten point white tail his first time out. Too easy-peasy. It was the worst thing that could have happened to him--he quit hunting!

    Federal's 7mm Back Country - What is your opinion?

    Found it. It was the Q Fix 8.6 BLK 8 inch with Trash Panda silencer. Those SBR types will have to have new cartridge technology, so get ready for "new" in the market, ready or not.
