Good points, one and all. At 71 I do the best I can to stay in some kind of shape year around. Last summer I quit drinking alcohol completely for several months and began eating “right” again. Now, I will have a beer or a cocktail once in awhile but I keep it to low volume. Although I do not...

Once again I am in agreement with you Spikeman, I too spent my sordid youth with an air rifle, instead of playing ball games with the “normal” boys (monkeys squabbling over a coconut). Fast forward a hundred years to now. These days I live on the outskirts of a city and so, I cannot fire powder...

Fellow Gun Slingers, Calling the little tab in Glock pistol triggers a “Safety Device” is comparable to putting such a thing in automobile gas pedals and calling it a “speed control device”. Some folks like to say that the standard today for Law Enforcement Agencies to issue Glock pistols, is...

Halibut are the closet thing in the ocean to “no flavor whatsoever”, Aka: “tofu of the sea”.:ROFLMAO: But, tourists seem to be quite enamoured with halibut. So for the moment at least, our rockfish and cod are semi-safe.

I still think it’s over fishing. But we can surely remain friends.

Greetings Ryan, I totally agree with you that the #1 seafood pirate, rapidly now destroying Alaska fish supplies, is ourself. The reason I earlier mentioned foreign vessels raiding our waters is because we don’t treat them harshly enough when indeed they do steal our fish. If we spanked them...

Foxi, Greetings from Anchorage. The reasons for declining fish and other sea animals, such as crab, sea lions and many others remains unanswered. Here and around the world this topic has been argued without finding any answers. I will guess that when the earth warms up (as it sometimes does...

Greetings lawrence_court, All the above recommendations are good ones. But bear :Bear: in mind that, just as Scott CWO has already mentioned, here in Alaska, our king salmon numbers are dwindling. I will add that there are still some kings to be found but, king fishing in Alaska ain’t what it...

Greetings Null754, Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth. If you have any hunting and / or fishing stories, from visiting Africa, please do tell. Photos with stories are also welcome. Actually, hunting / fishing stories don’t have to...

Greetings tydaws, Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth. Limcroma has a great reputation there in the Limpopo District of South Africa. And so, I predict that you and your family will have a wonderful safari. Best Regards, Velo Dog.

Greetings cdent68, Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth. I look forward to reading about and looking at pictures of your many visits to Africa. Likewise, I’m always curious what equipment, especially rifles and ammunition, that other...

Fellow Wanderers, I’m almost +1 with Tanks here. “Almost” in that my wife and I don’t spend enough $$$ on our credit cards to earn the high number of miles required for YEARLY Business Class seats on International flights. However, we do manage to do exactly that, about every 3 to 5 years, by...

BEAUTIFUL rifle. Anyone who has not admired the Model 98 Magnum Mauser has no eyes. ………………. Oh ya, that’s a very fine bush pig as well.(y)

Hello limpy88, Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth. In the African countries where hunting is common, not all but many lodges and camps have decent rifles to rent. Lately in said countries, suppressors are becoming more common on them as...

Fellow Travelers, My wife and myself have tramped the earth, including but not limited to, multiple visits to Africa, via mileage awards. We always try to pass through Europe and time it with a layover there, to just be sight seeing-foody tourists for a splendid break from flying. Europe is not...

Having not hunted even one leopard, do take my opinion with a pinch of salt. That said, I am familiar with a good bit of the details, as I’ve hung baits in Limpopo District, South Africa and have examined gunshot wounds in a leopard or two, shot by other hunters. At this stage, I expect it’s...

Perfect rifle.(y) Perfect eland.(y)

Hello Tanner Lee, I am +1 with BeeMaa on that buffalo you bagged. He is old and battle worn = Just Right. I love the facial scars and beaten down horn. I’m no expert but my best guess is that he is past his breeding years, simply perfect for removing from the bush and searing his tenderloins...

Greetings radname, Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth. You are a hunter and a rifle enthusiast, therefore I would wager that you do have much value to add. Best Regards, Velo Dog.

Mornin’ Doug, Not sure I understand the meaning of your above sentence. My best guess is that maybe you thought I was missing in action, perhaps abducted by space aliens or ? (But my last post here was yesterday @ 7:45 am). Anyway at this stage, celebrating my disappearance would be...

It sounds like you are describing the 7x57 cartridge...;) (I’m sorry SaintPanzer for ripping off your humor line, but it fit so well).

.450-.400 NE 3” Westley Richards drop lock SxS with 26” ejector barrels. Rear sight —> fixed blade with wide shallow “V” notch. Large white bead on the front sight. Rifle weight @ 10 pounds and stocked to fit me in outrageously beautiful English walnut. However, a Heym Model 89 would do quite...

Thanks Doug, I appreciate your responses. And, I suppose I’m whipping a dead horse here so, one of these days, I had better quit typing along through so many paragraphs, just to state my observations and opinions. I’ve heard closing arguments in serious criminal trials that were less windy (and...

Greetings Bigreach, Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth. A bull giraffe can weigh a ton and a half. If you end up shooting one with your .30-06, use a super tough bullet, such as 180 grain or heavier, Swift A-Frame. There are other brands of...

Greetings SoVa, Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth. Your trip to Botswana sounds perfect to reconnoiter the hunting possibilities there. If you can return for hunting (perhaps fishing too), Botswana is one of the less visited - more dreamed...

Hi again Doug, I appreciate your response, well stated for sure. I understand your opinion. And although I don’t completely agree with you, I do completely respect your opinion and I respect you for posting it. It is good that we can discuss differing opinions without drama. At any rate: It...

Hello Doug, Those are the exact same sales pitches Ruger is using for their .375 Ruger cartridge, vs the original .375 H&H cartridge plus, the 6.5 Creedmoor vs the 6.5x55 Mauser cartridge. Well except that, I don’t know if the Creedmoor peddlers are claiming an additional 100 fps or not. If I’m...

Hi again black tail, I see that you have now blocked me. Ok, no worries. Sorry for whatever it was and not sorry. But, best wishes for you in all things anyway. Cheers, Paul.

“The people who hate the 6.5CM”: 1. Probably don’t actually hate it. I certainly do not hate it. Neither do I have a “$6K custom rig” (my 6.5x55 is a CZ 550 FS with vintage Leupold 3x scope) Outshot by someone with a cheap Tikka rifle, nope hasn’t happened to me. But then again, I don’t remember...

Hello CraigV, I must be sick as well. But, I promise to press my bandana over my air holes, when I sneeze. Anyway, I’ve shot two Polynesian boar and one whitetail doe with one shot each from two different brands of borrowed 6.5 Creedmoor rifles (Ruger and Remington). All 3 critters were taken...

My one and only gripe with every new but does-nothing-new cartridge, including the 6.5 Creedmoor is that, (as Hunter-Habib and others have already said) —> now with manufacturing companies concentrating on their latest sales gimmick 6.5 Creedmoor caliber, ammunition for the 6.5x55 is rare to...

…… and in these below photographs we have the typical 6.5x55 owners:
