Remington. Limit 1000. I got mine. Get while the getting is good.

Just picked up the new Garmin radar chronograph and wow, it is a game-changer. I’ve loaded up a bunch of ammo recently but just could not seem to find it in me to set up the old

Over the years, I've seen quite a number of threads that either start or devolve into a discussion of whether or not to use a sling. In hearing some (many) of the comments, it has become clear to me proper use of the sling is not universally understood. This thread is not intended to take a...

Anyone know how it is that Hornady has managed to always have bullets to sell? Seems like in the last 3 years, the only projectiles available are Hornady, maybe Barnes. They don’t seem to have any supply problems but you’d think the other manufacturers suddenly had to start mining lead and...

Anyone know what the threads are on the R8 threaded barrel? I cannot find it published anywhere and it isn’t marked on the barrel. I’ve emailed Blaser, so I should know in a day or two but the sooner I find out, the sooner I can get a thread adaptor and put my suppressor on this thing.

I've declared 2022 the year of getting rid of stuff I don't need. I know there's better places for AR parts, but this is where I spend my time. Asking $50, I'll cover shipping. New Condition. Lists for $75. I'll throw in a buffer tube. I don't know how I've accumulated this stuff, but it...

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/910521068 Over $800 being asked for a box of 375 H&H ammo!

I was in the mood tonight to watch some buffalo hunting so I pulled up YouTube. First video, it was clear the guy had no familiarity with his double. His PH was telling him to reload and the guy managed to open it eventually, across his body, facing 90 degrees to the target area, fumbling...

It is clear that by and large, people who like to or dream of hunting Africa are a nostalgic bunch. Doubles, Mauser 98s, blued steel and walnut. Want to do it like Roosevelt, that kind of thing. it occurred to me just now that those 450NE doubles and 404 Jeffery London best guns were actually...

I had a couple of zebra hides tanned here in the states. When I picked them up, they were all balled up in a Cardboard box and wrinkled. The tannery didn’t thin the hide properly to make it nice and soft on the back either. I talked to a taxidermist who said I could sand it down on the back...

It came up on another post that it was a good idea to use readily-available ammunition so that it can be replaced easily upon arrival if your ammo goes missing en route. One poster claimed luggage being lost is a myth and something that doesn't happen in significant amounts. This seems to...

I have two of these, new in the pack, that I do not need. $20 each, postage included.

I'm heading back to Namibia via South Africa again. I've always kept ammo in a separate locked ammo box. Wondering about just putting it in with the rifle in the locked rifle case.

Bought this for a project that never materialized. Time to simplify my life. Asking $850.

https://www.namibian.com.na/60192/read/Anthrax-kills-109-hippos-in-Bwabwata ABOUT 109 hippos have been killed in a suspected anthrax outbreak in western Bwabwata National Park in a week. Parks deputy director of the north-east regions, Apollinaris Kannyinga, confirmed the deaths to The...

I got to thinking about what would happen if by some circumstance one needed to use his dangerous game rifle at night. Probably unlikely especially for a client, but things do happen. My home defense shotgun has a light in the fore end and it is one hell of a lot easier to use than trying to...

Elephant/Hippo Buffalo hunt coming up in two months. Rifle suddenly stopped ejecting empties. Somehow, broke off a piece of the bolt face: So the question is is this bad luck that I broke a bolt or good luck that it is two months before my hunt and not in the middle of a buffalo charge?

I'm trying to get some significant range time in with my 404 before heading to the Caprivi. Full-power loads are: 1) expensive and 2) uncomfortable after a (fairly short) while. First thing I did was secure a supply of inexpensive practice bullets. I had Dave Corbin make me up a reducing...

I've got a non-exportable trophy being held for me at Rieser's that I would love for someone to be able to enjoy. I'm looking for somebody who could pick it up and keep it at their lodge. I hope to be able to come back and see it some day. PM for details. Thanks

Trying to simplify my life. I have a Hornady Case Trimmer that is not longer of use to me. Comes with an assortment of pilots and is mounted on an Inline Fabrication base. Asking $50 plus cost of shipping.

Despite the import hassles precluding me using my own rifle and some mild challenges with my borrowed rifle, persistence and something unfortunately resembling unaimed volley fire resulted in a a very nice stag after 4 days hard stalking. He is actually 7x7 but doesn't show from this angle:

Found enough of my reloading stuff after the move and bought what I couldn't find/didn't have to load up my 404 Jeffery practice/ deer hunting loads. 300 44 magnum XTP reduced to .423 through a Corbin die loaded over 40g of 5744. Haven't chronographed it yet, but supposed to be good for...

Several years ago, I decided I needed a 404. Early in 2011 I chose Reto Buehler to build it. Got measured for the stock at SCI 2012 in Vegas. Took quite a while before GMA had enough orders to do a run of left handed actions. I prefer tang safeties, so that is what I've got. He...

My wife and I are departing Saturday for her long-awaited leopard hunt. On Sunday evening, we did a final check of her rifle zero. Nearly a foot off at 50 yards!! Inspection of the rifle revealed a broken screw in the rear scope mount and a shim falling out. I appeared that the "gunsmith"...

I'm sitting here trying to shake lose a particularly recalcitrant kidney stone. The venison chili is hours away from ready, and the ersatz radlers I'm drinking in an attempt to flush the damn thing (Miller Lite and some kind of vile artificially sweetened instant lemonade!) don't in any way...

I've heard various arguments for and against what to chamber an African rifle in. US Air, by losing my luggage, has answered that question for me: something common. After charging me $150 extra due to the bag with my ammo in it being 57 pounds, they managed to not load it on the plane...

My trophies have arrived from Namibia! As I will be leaving tomorrow for my return trip to Namibia, I will be having Coppersmith clear customs for me. The power of attorney they sent me says I need to provide an ID and a copy of my social security card, due to homeland security...

My son and I will be headed back to Namibia this summer and plan to spend a week in Germany and Austria with my wife beforehand. I am told that currently, I cannot leave my weapons with customs for the week I am there, but rather have to get my import permit (not a big deal, I've done that...
