Welcome, I am around the bend in Taylor County. Africa this time of year is so much better than being here in Florida. Look forward to getting back.

Would love to go, haven't hunted Doves since I was in high school many years ago. I am in a law enforcement academy right now and supposed to graduate on the 15th of Sep. How soon do you need commitment

I will second this one. Took two pair to SA last year and they were perfect for the job and super comfortable. I have been wearing other 511 pants for years and wear them now for duty. Top quality and I have yet to year a pair out like I do denim. Plus they come in colors that are perfect for...

If you are looking for 375 in a 235gr bullet look at Double Tap ammo. Reasonably priced and close to 3000fps. I killed an impala and warthog with it in my Ruger Model 1 last year. Going to do some accuracy tests as soon as I get a new scope on my new 375 to see if the twist rate is fast enough...

I also own a Tikka and am in process of converting it to a 300 SuperWSM. The plastic is something that never bothered me. I used it a lot Elk hunting in Western Washington and the rain never bothered it. 375Fox is correct IMO about the aftermarket stuff from Mountain tactical. I replaced my bolt...

Might take you up on that next weekend, I am off night shift for the next few months and want to get some shooting in.

Took me a while but I finally got this paid for and received it from my FFL last week. If anyone has doubts about purchasing anything from Hyde you can have confidence he will treat you right. He shipped it quickly and even put an air tag in the case. With this he gave me more updates on it...

I am shopping for a LPVO for my new 375, have it narrowed down to the Trijicon, did you like the 1-6x for PG hunting also or did you want more magnification. I am looking at the 1-8 and 1-10 also. Tough choice. I have a 1-8x LPVO on my scout rifle and it does everything I want. Just not sure I...

Look at Expertvoice.com. If you qualify in their program (veterans, first responders) you can get these at 40% off. Saved about $600 on my last Nightforce through them and they only offer a 30% discount.

If you want quality and ruggedness go with a Nightforce or Trijicon. New lightweight Leopolds aren't worth the money.

Tough call, both animals are so beautiful. The Sable has the dark chocolate hide and magnificent horns while the Roan has those unique face markings. If I had to choose it would be both.

Here are some pics of the fine work they did for me

I live near the shop and have had some custom leather made. Cheek risers, knife sheath, and a two round cartridge holder for my Ruger No 1 in 416 RM. All are well made and fairly priced. Wonderful and friendly people also.

Go everywhere and hunt everything. No brainer. Got years of not being able to hunt to make up for and not a lot of time to do it.

Wow, same hunter that got that amazing Gemsbok, What a pair of trophies he has.
