    Zastava LK M70 worth the money?

    UPDATE: I picked up a set of assorted curved diamond files and went to work on the feed ramp and all related. Afterwards I went in with fine emmory paper to smooth out and polish the parts. This has made a significant improvement, especially on the right side of the geed ramp where the hang-ups...

    Zastava LK M70 worth the money?

    I realize I'm a bit late to the party, but for anyone else that may be looking to buy a Zastava LK M70 bolt action rifle, I'll toss in my opinion. I recently bought one brand new in .375 H&H. Fit and finish are just so-so. I actually like the dull oil finish on the stock over the high gloss...

    Has Anyone Ever Shipped a Full Mount Croc?

    I can't remember what my last crate from Africa cost to ship back, but I do well remember that my taxidermy bill was the same price as my safari bill, and that was even with saving a ton of money having it done in SA. My son and I did however hunt in Spain in 2024 and took two record book...

    On your first African hunting safari how many animals did you take?

    Between my son and I we took 15, kudu, zebra, gemsbok, springbok, grey duiker, impala, blesbok, and 8 warthogs (we were ordered to shoot every hog we saw and kept the two largest)

    Hunting Pigs

    This is my youngest son's first big game animal. The back-story to this hunt begins when my son was barley able to walk and I would take him into the woods with me, usually gun or bowhunting for whitetail. We had so much fun and share many fond memories of those days. As he grew older, he would...
