Ahhh, great idea as well. Thanks MTA89...

Welcome aboard!!

Yup, I have a couple of the same gong stand as well (only single version, not dual) I find the repeated pounding of just a 300 WM causes continuous replacement of the chain/bolts. Thats why I was interested in what others may use as a bigger/better solution for 375+ calibers. It sounds like the...

Thanks for your thoughts Savage. I hadn't thought of, or used rubber either. Your backstop looks very similar to what we use. Very nice. You can get quite a few years out of those railroad ties before needing to replace.

That's a great idea, Philip. Have you determined what the ideal length of steel strap? Do you happen to have a photo of this to share?

That looks like a pretty good deal. How do you plan to hang them?

Valid point! Thank you!!

Super cool pics, thanks for sending....along with the warning attached.

Wow. This surprises me a bit. I'll use paper sighting in a new gun, new scope, new load, or to troubleshoot etc. but once locked in, I find it incredibly boring to continue shooting paper... and sometimes even frustrating if my groupings are a 1/4" off from the previous week. I'll shoot 60-100...

168 views and only 1 response? Does everyone else just shoot paper every week?

So true... Sorry for your loss Randy.

Railroad tie plates are an interesting idea. Thanks.. I find that I continue to struggle with vibration and continuous replacement of chain and bolt nuts.

In your opinion, who makes the best large caliber gong? Or, if you have a custom setup, would you mind posting a photo of your craftsmanship?

Exactly my thoughts... I hot gun glue them to string and hang them on the range. I'd say you have $50-75 in entertainment value there.

Super cool, I will check that out. Thanks!!

Different perspective, why not bring back the hides on all 3. Then decide what you have space for later when home? Your space may change over the years.

IMO, no hunter should fly without Air Tags in every bag, or case. I learned the hard way on a recent bear hunt in Canada. Flying back from High Level, Alberta with the plane over weight, several of us hunters had to choose one bag to leave for a next day flight to Edmonton. I had 3. My bow...

Wait... is this like a joke or like a throw down situation... I had to toggle back and forth my like button because I wasn't sure? ha

Thanks Sue, I appreciate that. I very much enjoy reading good literature and will make a point to check out some things you have written.

They look really nice.. Is the office photo you and your Kudu? If so, where did you go to get that printed?

Agreed... a lot of luck. With this outfit it looks like a couple a year break the 200 mark out of a dozen or so hunters from my calculations. I'll go back someday but with a whole new perspective on Coues. Fun stuff.

Thanks for the advice, VertigoBE :)

Thanks for the invite Rookhawk. I will take you up on that offer the next time I'm up there. I'm in South Central WI. I'll be in Green Bay at the end of the month for the SCI banquet. Any chance you'll be there as well?

Thanks Velo Dog, After reading so many wonderful writers on this site, I'm not sure I could give the report justice.... maybe one day, once I get settled in a bit.

Hi Marius, Primarily, the cool factor. I've always wanted a 416 Rigby and 458 Lott since I was a little boy. I shot my PH's 458 last year and decided I better start with the 416. I don't remember the make just that it was 100 some years old, literally. He seemed to handle it well though. But...

Thank you all for such a warm welcome!!

Congrats, he's a nice deer. However, I understand what you're going through. For me, if I have to talk myself into a mount, I'm usually disappointed some time after the fact. With that said, if you think this may be your last trip to Mexico, I wouldn't think twice and would mount him. I was...

A google search for a .416 Rigby brought me here. The interest in contacting the seller for additional information made me register. However, it's the volume of content, hunting reports, and pure entertainment value that has kept me addicted to this crack-site every night past 2:00 AM for the...
