You mean Alberta Retinol Consultants. Same group of doctors where Greve and Baker do their thing. This chat has me a little worried now of recoil eye injuries. I own 3 .375’s and will own no bigger but I should be going to SA next year on a SCI auction hunt with Boschnel Safaris for crocodile...

I’ve currently got eye issues in Alberta as well. Which doctor do you speak of? Just had a new lens put in my left eye by Dr. Greve. This eye also has a buggered cornea as well. Eventually Dr. Kurji will do a partial cornea transplant. These guys are both in Edmonton. Thankfully that’s not my...

40’s vintage win 12 20ga with cylinder choke

As would your model 12 in 20ga!! I do my best wing shooting with my 40’s vintage win 12 20ga with cylinder choke. Here’s yesterday’s successful hunt…

I have 2 sporterized SMLE .303’s and this P14. Funny you mention your magazine plate opening upon firing as my P14 does this on occasion with full power loads only. All looks well with the mechanism. Don’t shoot her much but I’ll figure it out …sooner or later!

The browning X-bolt does make for a nice lightweight .375 rifle complete with factory iron sights. I took a young bull moose here in Alberta several years ago with mine. Nice rifle for that hunt especially being in stainless steel which I do like in winter conditions. Recoil not too bad with...

If I only had $100cdn…I would look for an 80’s vintage Bushnell Scopechief in whatever magnification you think you need. Decent scopes from my experience…

Did a 7 day hunt with them in 2019 for my 50th birthday. Found the deal here which was a 5 day Buffalo cow hunt. We added the 2 days and also took a kudu, eland, blesbok, oryx and a warthog. Was my first trip to Africa. No complaints it was a great time and was a pleasure to hunt with Jan Loots...

Never measured the 200BT’s but I did for the Speer 200SP loaded to max(imr4064) with a 23.5” barrel. The speers were at 2773fps…way back in the late 90’s. BT’s should be close…not enough difference for me to worry about measuring … The elk was taken on the first hunt option in the cypress hills...

Bought my .375 4 years ago at the local shop. Was a trade in…$800cdn for the bare rifle, I love my local gun shop! I really like it but I’m not attached to it yet…haven’t hunted with it so far . Used my CZ550 for my first Buffalo hunt instead. This .375 is waiting for my next local moose hunt...

.338-06 Ralf Martini built me this one on a military FN action. 200gr NBT

I went with the .338-06 myself. Easy to reload, odd6 brass readily available and great bullet selection. Ralf Martini built me this one on a military FN action. 200gr NBT worked well on my 2020 bull elk. Recoil is mild too I gotta say…

I see Jan is still carrying his CZ550 in .375….did his double in .500 not get finished yet? Great guy to hunt with back in Aug 2019 !

I just recently acquired a Remington model 30R express carbine in 30-06. Be a great rifle to convert to .375 and leave it with open sights or add a peep. Doubt I’ll modify it because it’s unmolested with no extra holes and she’s looking pretty good having been made in 1929. Anyone know where to...

Bought this Prewar M70 .300H&H about 20 years ago. Finally got to Africa last August and put it to good use. 5 shots got this Eland, Kudu, Oryx, Blesbok and a Warthog using 180gr Nosler partitions.

My partner just paid the fees in advance for 2 rifles which was the expected $100/rifle/per leg. That's $400U.S. for us Canadians which I would have much rather have spent on gratuities. Yesterday I was looking at the SAA website and I see the international gun fees is now listed at $65U.S.. Has...

Very interesting....there is no open deer season surrounding Calgary with rifle until November...
