Oh man that’s tempting!

At whose expense? Canada is so far gone down the worm hole of socialism that no one seems to connect government activity with taxpayer money anymore.

I’m pretty up to speed as my entire extended family lives in Ontario. It was such a great place growing up on the farm there. We all hunted, we had an indoor rifle range in our high school, my first deer rifle was delivered by the mailman. You may feel that Ford is doing a reasonable job, but...

It’s pretty regional in Canada. I grew up on a farm in Ontario and most of my extended family are still there. The left has destroyed that province. There is no way I would live there again, I find it hard enough to visit. There is still a semblance of sanity in the West and the Maritimes...

I have a bit of a window into crime in Canada as my uncle founded and led the tactical weapons team in a major Canadian city. He also served undercover with the RCMP in the FBI/RCMP bike gang bust in the ‘70’s. I’ve had untold first hand accounts of what is actually going on. To think that...

We should be thankful that our leaders have kept us out of that corrupt vipers nest.

Not that I’ve noticed. I’ve bought some pretty high dollar Swarovski optics from him over the past year.

Swarovski will change the reticle for a very reasonable price.

I have one and had RJ Renner work his magic on it for me. I think that this is one of the finest No 1’s ever made. The 24” barrel looks far better than the shorter models, and the .275 is a perfect cartridge for this rifle. Mine is an absolute tack driver (0.5 moa or better). I like mine...

I have never hunted ranch buffalo. The closest I’ve come is Klaserie, and it would be hard to describe that as fenced. However I have been on RSA ranches that held buffalo. I have hunted free range buffalo in Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South Africa. My data set is so...

I will be hunting near Patagonia again this year. This is one of my favorite hunts. As others have stated, since becoming obsessed with these little deer, my investment in glass and long range shooting equipment has become rather alarming.

For a truly wild experience with both Buffalo and plains game, I would look at Nyakasanga in Zimbabwe’s Zambezi Valley, or the Upper Luangwa River valley in Zambia. One of my best buffalo hunts was in Dande, but plains game is pretty limited there.

Vintage English guns are routinely worked over to keep them in good working order. Barrels are reblacked, bores polished, stocks refinished, springs and pins replaced as needed. If you have a vintage English gun, it is very unlikely that it is original in finish. You are not preserving value...

Mostly euros. We only have 5 shoulder mounts of African game, and honestly, that’s probably two more than I would do if I had it to do over.

Agreed
