He went to the "Great Bushveld in the Sky" on August 21, 2021. I finally got him home yesterday. I know folks have ask about measurements on the forum several times, so I thought this might be good for future reference. Overall width - 42" (I think the taxidermist may have helped me a...

My brother and I had a very in-depth discussion last week about tangible assets versus money in the bank. I'm into firearms. He's into musical instruments. We started comparing the value of our collections, versus the value of American dollars over time. Both of us started "collecting"...

Personally, I don't like to depend on batteries for rifle optics. I've owned 2 (lower-end) scopes (Vortex & Burris) with illuminated features, and thought both were terrible. In regard to batteries, I've had nearly $2,000 worth of equipment destroyed by alkaline batteries. In my case...

Unfortunately Smith Optics has discontinued their shooting glasses and no longer have replacement lenses. I would really like to find clear lenses for my particular frames. I really like them, but the clear lenses have developed a nickel-sized "cracked" spot on the right side. If anyone can...

I didn't get drawn to hunt elk in NW Wyoming this year (as expected), but would love to go west and help reduce the overpopulation that is plaguing some western states. Cows would be fine... Of course, I've missed all draw opportunities for this year. How can I find a land owner with an...

$890 and you will be winning. I know because, I'm currently winning and have decided that I don't need another big bore right now...

My hunting vehicles are currently: A Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 LWB diesel pickup truck A Toyota Landcruiser FJ60 A Lexus GX 470 (Toyota Landcruiser Prado) If you had to pick one currently manufactured vehicle to hunt anywhere in the world (that is available to civilians) what would it be? Toyota...

I've always loved Leupold scopes, and have several on several rifles. Recently, my son (A Gen Z'er) has started giving me a hard time about my love for Leupolds and European scopes, because a guy on another site does serious scope testing and has found that almost nothing except Nightforce...

I think the iconic store in New York City closed by the time I was in middle school. Did anyone on the forum have the pleasure of visiting it?

I used to have an original, olive drab, U.S. Military M-65 Field Jacket and liner, but it got too small and I gave it away. (I know there are much better hunting coats, but I just like them). Anyway, I decided early this year to get "the real deal". I bought what I thought was one off of...

I have a CZ 550 Lux in .375 H&H and another in .416 Rigby. To me, they have less "felt recoil" than rifles with "American" stocks. I think they tend to recoil upward, than directly backward. I prefer it, what are your thoughts?

For those of you who like to use open sights on DG bolt-actions, do you prefer the front sight to be hooded or not? Most of mine are hooded, but I think I can come to target faster without a hood after a short practice session Friday afternoon.

I still am suffering from jet lag, but I'm going to start today while things are still somewhat fresh on my mind... Chapter 1 – Part 1 of the “Back Story” After over two and a half years of drama, everything finally came to fruition, starting when I flew out of Atlanta on August 14...

In checking LAM's website, it looks like a person is only allowed 5kg in firearms. Can anyone shed light on the airline's firearms policy or has had any experience flying LAM with rifles. I want to take 2 rifles, which would be much more than 5kg.

Please PM me if you know about this operation. Thanks

I'm considering a buffalo hunt, but don't want a ranch situation. Has anyone hunted with this outfitter? Thanks
