I just received the May/June issue of Sporting Classics. The inside front cover sports the strangest, silliest most mockable magazine ad I’ve ever seen. Setting aside the argument of using an AR for dangerous game, what’s the dude doing? Vaulting over a pair of Cape Buffalo in full camo holding a contraption that may be a rifle? I’d like to see this become an Olympic event!

And to think someone got paid to come up with that.
 
That's not an AR. That's The Fix bolt action. The one in the ad is chambered for 8.6 BLK which can lob a 300gr bullet at around 1,000 fps. It has one heck of twist rate. I like his chances against a pair of buffalo with that setup! ;)

I'd pay to watch how that pans out... :A Skull:

PS - The motto of the company is "Live Q or Die". Might want to change that "or" to an "and".

The buffalo probably think the same thoughts I have. “What a moron.” Too bad this stuff is getting a foothold.

Yes and then they come to the real world and end up on youtube……think we all know the title to that video “hoof holed”…. But I must say I do admire the adrenaline skills of the guy….love to be able to clear not one but two buffs in a single bound :ROFLMAO:

I guess I will never really understand the appeal of this type of rifle for hunting. I don’t think I’m really all that old at 66, just a traditionalist. Give me nice walnut and blued steel!
 
Yeah, that’s Q. They’re known for outlandish marketing with a controversial owner. He has a few Africa hunt vids posted if you’re interested in watching.
 
Maybe he's "letting the buffalo decide how to die...."

No, I’m good
 
The May/June issue is the slimmest I can remember. I get that it’s off season here in NA, but I’m sure Sporting Classics is hungry for advertisers. I guess we can expect more black guns and tactical stuff in our favorite sporting magazines. I think Gray’s Sporting Journal will be the coal mine canary. When I see an add for this stuff there, it’ll be time for me to wander out on an ice flow.
 
That model with the rifle isn’t vaulting. That’s him getting tossed up into the air by a Cape buffalo when old African Black Death has finally had enough of the model’s new tacti-cool toy…

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!

Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
