Only a liptard moron would try it. That said I've shot lots of beef cattle with a 22LR. But a head shot right in the brain at point blank in a processing shout is a whole other thing.

I do a very similar recipe with elk using Angle Hair spaghetti. And agree with everybody that when I'm in Africa don't feed me your horrible beef or stringy yard bird. We have the best beef (cornfed) in the world and I've yet to find African game meat that isn't some of the best wild game in...

I'll stick with my Rigby! I have a really slick 416 Ruger custom on a Mod70 action by Weaver and it is sweet but, nothing is as well balanced as a big case Rigby!

Pulsar and IRay have both tolerated 223 thru 308 on ARs. Agree fully with at least 2 point very solid mounts. A neighbors Pulsar stood up well to a 300 RUM with a break.

Anyone who jumps on this hunt will have a great time. Emile is a really terrific PH to hunt and be with. there are lots of buffalo in his unit which is large. The camp is really special. And end of May first couple weeks of June is perfect time to be there. Definitely hard to beat this offer.

Good update Will. Sorry about the Botswana diversion, I'm sure that was a worthy sidetrack. Talk when you return!

I like the Bore Tech products. Their rods are as good as any out there. Dewey rods for frequently cleaned small bores. Wipe out is also useful. I never use a bronze brush only nylon. Also, use bore paste from Iosso and for problem bores will use JB bore compound. I use bore mops for paste...

How do you get totheir web site or contact them? I thought they were out of business.

1MOA or less at 100 yds 3 shots. I hand load so with a good barrel that is almost always achievable. I don't like monolith bullets, esp. don't like Barnes. Monoliths are just too hard on double rifle barrels, so I avoid them. Have never been impressed with accuracy.

I avoid Newark at all costs and I detest Joburg. I've used Emirates and Qatar with excellent results. Also, have used Ethiopian out of Dulles to take me to Addis and on to several locations in Africa at least Annually since 2020 and other than the gun check in Addis which if you understand the...

What a bull. If he wasn't broken from all the fighting and tree bashing, he would have been a legendary 100+ pounder. Congratulations on a magnificent old bull.

I have used Swift Bullets ever since Bill started making them in Quinter, KS. In my Doubles they have been very easy to regulate and have performed like nothing else. The only issue I have as many have expressed here is availability, but as I understand almost all the real premium bullet...

If Africa is in your blood or your future I would keep it. Junk the scope it barely good enough to use as a tent stake. Good glass is essential. I've collected Dakota Rifles for years and have yet to find one that won't shoot sub-MOA with most ammo. In this serial number range, they have...

The Ruger Tang Safety is my second choice, the Model 70 will always be my first choice.

It would make a great 51st State, then wouldn't have to go to Canada to hunt Musk Ox.
