Been there too. I make my own now out of recycled lead shot bags filled with sand. A couple laid horizontal, then two laid inline with the rifle and it works great for me. If needed you can use six to stack them higher. I also use one that's half filled and sewn in 1.5 strips criss crossing...

Very nice and don't worry, as we get older we tend to do such things. An inch right or left of center is still a very dead animal. As to the Peregrines, after four decades of loading and shooting other name brand/high end bullets I have gone to the Peregrines exclusively as long as Alliwynn...

They call it "The Alaskan" because it is a remake of the original classic "Alaskan" produced many years ago on the Pre 64 action as you can see with going back to the old barrel ring design. I came within an inch of buying one with thoughts of turning it into a .375 Ruger but with what it would...

Ouch, you need better friends. I'd have gotten on the chopper and left his ass on the mountain.

Just an idea to help you with your raffle. If the Rifle is being purchased through Cabelas in all likelihood if an American were to win it there would be little or no difficulty in simply having Cabela's issue a gift card good for a similar rifle to be picked up at any Cabela's in the USA in...

Well my brother let me know this morning he bought us another .375 Ruger, this time a 24" Montana Rifles "extreme" I think it's called, basically their version of the stainless/synthetic Winchester Alaskan that came in .375 H&H. I hate my VX 6's so bad I picked up another 3-15x50 TMOA reticle...

Congrats on the new rifle working out so well for you. I too found the 250gr loads to shoot very well in mine. Very surprised you're having issues with the VX6. I have six of them all on various magnums and have been very impressed with all of them. The first thing I figured out on my trip...

As for the "gritty safety" I had a similar issue with my .300wm Extreme Weather model. Instead of getting better with use it got progressively worse until it reached the point at which I thought it would take a hammer to move it again. I kept working it until it broke free then bathed the...

Eyebrows perking up.:) I dropped you a PM, give me a shout back.

I recommend good scotch and plenty of Aleve.

I have serious ankle problems myself. Less than 2 years following a complete reconstruction of my right ankle I headed to the RSA for 25 days and my trip included a lot of upland bird hunting as well as the big game hunting so I can commiserate. I can recommend several to you and would...

Been right where you are. It took five years to put my first trip to the RSA together and the closer it got the more it drove me nuts with anticipation, questions I would ask, things I wanted to see, and imagining what it would be like. Needless to say my satisfaction was far, far beyond what...

Thank you much.

is it at travelexpress.com or???

I fear this may be entirely to true even though I think it will be "possible" a little longer. There will always be legal buff hunting though and it wouldn't take another decade to save up for one.
