    Sick on Safari

    My first impulse was to say "just suck it up and get on with it" as you did on your pheasant hunt. And 50 years ago I could have done it. But now not a chance. I have found Alka-Seltzer Plus to give me the most relief from cold symptoms. But thankfully I have not suffered from a cold in...

    Well boys, what's your temperature like now?

    61F here in AZ and cloudy. Chance of rain in next couple of days. AZ can always use more rain. The desert is bright green right now. And I expect a "super bloom" come spring.

    Thoughts on "entry level" .375 H&H

    I bought a M70 Classic Super Express 375 HH . It's a 1998 New Haven built rifle I got from Gun Broker. I would have preferred a M70 with a barrel band front sling mount instead of the Classics soldered on mount. Other than that I love it.

    5.11 Boots

    I have a pair that I wore while metal detecting for gold in Arizona. No metal in them to give you false readings. And they are fairly cactus proof and wear well. Very comfortable to boot.... ;-) I'm sorry I don't know the model number and the VA has them right now modifying the lift in the...

    Hunting Boots, Did I do alright?

    I really liked the looks of these on the website and Amazon. But, then I found out Palladium is a Chinese Company. I try my best not to do business with any Chinese Companies. My personal boycott of China probably does not "amount to a hill of beans", as my Granny used to say. But I feel...

    What is the best car you have ever owned?

    My F250SD 7.3 4X4. I have owned it since new in 2000. It's rough appearance wise but mechanically very good. I use it to run around in the desert here in AZ. It's been pretty low maintenance. A couple of water pumps and sensors is about all except for regular maintenance items.

    Things you survived, but probably shouldn't have

    Bad motorcycle wreck in '89. Shattered my left femur and sheared the ball off it at my hip. Those were the major stuff. Still paying for middle-aged crazy. New left hip 2 years ago. Lift on left boot to make up for leg length discrepancy. Basically hit a Honda Accord head on with my left...

    What stocks are you trading today

    I agreed, and do not understand why. I read something about Put options being the issue. I guess we have Mike Burry to thank for that deal. It did go up about 10% but only held that for a few minutes.

    What I "should have bought"/What I "shouldn't have sold"

    I sold my 338 WM Browning Safari in 1989 iirc. Wish I had kept it. It was very close to 100% and a sub MOA shooter. But, I sort of replaced it recently with a 1998 M70 Classic Super Express in 375 H&H.

    New hunting rifle

    My inexpensive Mossberg 7 PRC likes Barnes 160 LRX factory loads. .5 groups@100yds from it with less than 20 rds through it. I am hoping it does better as more rounds go down the barrel. And it's in the really cheap pos plastic stock. Which will be changed asap.

    Thoughts on this 375 H&H?

    No, I do not. I have a Gentry brake for it but have not tried it yet. I am hopeful I can shoot it without training wheels though.

    Thoughts on this 375 H&H?

    The lack of iron sights would nix it for me. I guess it depends on your intended use to some extent. FWIW, I have a 1998 M70 Classic Super Express in 375 H&H that was threaded when I bought it recently. Does not concern me at all. But, then again, it's not a Pre64 either.

    New model 70 quality in the gutter

    I love it so far. Much nicer than described and what the photos indicated. I am waiting to add a nice scope. The barrel is threaded so I have added a Gentry brake. Hopefully, I will get to shoot it Thursday while I am at the range. I am working up a load for my 7mm PRC. What sling is that...

    M70 Firing Pin or Striker Spring Replacement

    Evidently the new production M70's, Portugal, have an issue with the firing pin springs. And the later New Haven M70s had issues with bad extractors. As far as your 03A3 spring goes, it was probably made with superior material back during WWII. Anyway, Ontario Hunter, I can never leave...
