    Age for kids?

    .416 Ruger

    WI-2021 , how did the gunsmith go about threading the Alaskan? Did he take off the sight band, resize, and reset it on the barrel?

    Affordable big bores no longer being offered by the big guys

    Can you even get a M70 or a Ruger 416 right now? I know they are showing as available on their sites, but I haven’t seen a new version of either available in a year.

    Headed to Scotland Fall 2023

    I am also headed to Scotland in 2023. I think if you look around a bit, you will be able to find what you want pretty reasonably. Don’t rule out red stag culls, they are pretty darn reasonable some places. We’re flying into London for a few days and taking the sleeper train up to Scotland...

    Deep Thoughts on trophy shipping

    I just got my stuff back from 2021 Safari , and after the shipping and the mounts I’m ashamed to say it will be north of $20k. Scared the absolute crap out of me, and makes me question why. Don’t get me wrong, I love to look at the mounts, but pictures go a long way with 20k It was a Safari...

    .375 Barnes Banded Solids

    Forgive my ignorance, but what is the issue with the round nose solid for an elephant? I see some of these are for sale and thought about picking up 100 for the .416 ruger. How do they compare to say a DGS ?

    Ontario: hunting 16B

    I hunted there in 2013 or so. Very remote like you said. Don’t depend on any help from anyone else, so plan accordingly. There are some camps that you can get reasonable lodging at. savant lake has a restaurant, grocery store, and hotel. There are good moose there, but you’ll have to work...

    In a war, 38 per cent of Americans would RUN!

    The number of fighters is way less than 50%. It was only 3% for the Revolution, so who needs emm. :cool: I would send my wife and kids to a spot as far away as I could if there was a fight on US soil though.

    Hunting all six continents. Which countries?

    This is on my bucket list as well. Asia is the toughest to get comfortable with. I’d like to do Tajikistan for ibex. It’s fairly reasonable but not one I want to do completely alone.
