Compared to a hunt, another barrel is inexpensive. Get one, shoot it a while, and you’ll know which one you like the most. Part of the fun of hunting is the preparation work. And, if you decide to sell one of the barrels, you’ll barely lose money, if at all. The additional scope mount and...

Lots of missing data here. Same ammo? Same distance? (Measured?) How many times have you completed this elevation change? Similar temperatures? Did you shoot at a range at 10,000’ with the same rest?

I’ve managed to collect 4 stocks and 7 barrels. Why? 2 kids that hunt with me, so that requires a total of 3 stocks. The 4th stock is the extra for a left handed bolt for my sister or friend or any lefty kids. It is nice to equip those around me with a system that allows for component swap if...

Did you get confirmation that the integrated suppressor barrel is available in the USA? I put my name down to buy one when they become available. I wonder if I’ve missed a call.

Pesto pasta with andouille sausages or blackened chicken is very easy to make for a large group. Breakfast: 20 hunters are going to drink a couple gallons of coffee in a very short time. 2-4 simple coffee makers running will be needed. Breakfast sandwiches can be done in an oven for a large...

I’m not a believer that bang flops are a good measure of a caliber’s effectiveness. There are many (most) perfect shots that result in a donkey kick, then a full sprint for 50-150+ yards. A .375 allows a hunter to take shots at a variety of angles on PG. I wouldn’t take the “risky” shot angles...

Wow! The power of that elephant is absolutely impressive. Pretty lucky no one got killed there. That is like people who get too close to bison in Yellowstone park.

+1 cash money. +1 Headlamps, flashlights and extra batteries. 3m safety glasses. They are inexpensive and you can get different lens shades. They are nice for a ride on the back of a truck . Various forms of tobacco and/or hard candy. Most people across the world enjoy a piece of hard candy...

I have a pair of the canvas boots. I also have multiple other pairs of Courtney’s. I prefer the leather, it seems more durable to me. But, I don’t have many miles in the canvas boots yet. They are very comfortable, equal to the leather boots. The interior has a leather liner.

I’ve had that with a box of factory ammo. Afterwards I was able to feel with my thumb that the primer was just lightly recessed.

Maui Jim. Look for something with a more tan hue rather than grey. Getting a bit more wrap around is good for reduction in glare from the side of the lens. (Think flat glasses, they work like a mirror on the outside part)

I also have added suppressors to my R8 barrels. Not as convenient with a .300 win mag length. But, with the shorter barrels and a 6-7” very light suppressor, it is awesome. With youth or new hunters, it is even better, since they don’t fear the muzzle blast. @Red Leg You have a very nice setup...

I have a strap being made from a croc. Now I’m curious to see if I can use other leathers.

Fantastic watch and strap! I tried to put a nato strap on my explorer and the distance from pin to case was too narrow. Did you have to use a bent pin to get your strap to fit?

Wow! That was a rollercoaster! Fantastic buffalo.
