    Back country carry gun

    Easy mistake, when I first looked it up, I thought I saw 45/70 on the top one and 45/.410 on the bottom. Scrolled back up and realized they were both .45/.410. Eyes sometimes see what you want them to!

    Shoulder vs Euro Mount

    I have had a few shoulder/ full mounts done, and although nice to see the true representation of the animal, they take up a lot of space and you can't do anything with them. I've come to prefer skull mounts (unsawn unlike traditional euro mounts), particularly when they are not permanently...

    Reloading data peregrine VRG3 350gr for .404 Jeffery

    How did you find this? Glad to see they have expanded all their data to include more powders. I recently checked and only found the charts they have always had that only listed 2-3 powders available in RSA. This is great as I will be working with new loads for several rifles I haven't used their...

    Reloading data peregrine VRG3 350gr for .404 Jeffery

    My bad, read your post wrong! That's great! Must be fairly new- last 2 years or so, anyway. Last time I had someone check for .375 they didn't have anything, and we did some digging out of curiosity and couldn't find Peregrine in anything. Glad they have been added!

    Reloading data peregrine VRG3 350gr for .404 Jeffery

    Call Peregrine, they will be happy to help. Due to the design of these bullets (drive bands) they result in less pressure and faster speeds that what is shown for most other bullets in a similar weight. You can use standard load data/ quick loads for any bullet of that weight, start low and work...

    Well boys, what's your temperature like now?

    Not terribly cold out but in the midst of another 2 feet of snow which makes a total of 5 FEET over the last ten days- more than we had all winter. Problem with this stuff is that it is wet and heavy and taking down trees everywhere. Last update from the power company said it may be a week...

    Left Hand Custom Mauser 3000 375 H&H

    I doubt you will get any hate here, at all. We regularly try to talk others out of selling rifles as beautiful as this, as there is inevitably going to be serious regrets once it's gone and usually not much chance of getting it back. I think you made the right choice and simply gave us a chance...

    I just found it on one of the other sites as well. Appreciate the quick response with personal contact info, certainly seems like you are a legit seller.

    Ruger No 1 450/400 3” Nitro Express for sale

    I was thinking the same. These days if I see something and immediately think "I need to jump on that" my very next thought is "I bet it's scam". Sad, but how it is these days. I'm not saying this one is- I hope it's not, but does raise questions. Most No. 1 450/400's I've seen lately have been...

    Left Hand Custom Mauser 3000 375 H&H

    Unless you have more than one of these (custom, this nice), you might need to change your screen name- be a constant reminder of beauty lost- you may have regrets later..... I know your first line says you are selling one of your Mauser 3000's but how do the others compare?

    Anyone getting ready for fly fishing season?

    I haven't been into it as much the last few years for various reasons, but love flyfishing over any other type of fishing. Hoping to get out soon for native brook trout and landlocked salmon, but waiting to see what we actually get of the currently estimated 2-3 feet of snow over the next 3 days...

    Firearm insurance recommendations

    Have you had a claim with them or know anyone that has? It's great to get the best deal on insurance but doesn't mean squat if they don't pay out.

    Thoughts on Peregrine Bullets for Dangerous Game

    Peregrine will be listed as "Hotline Monolithics" in the U.S. now. I think this has to do with issues with the other mentioned party. Until David can get things completely settled with Peregrine and figure out what there is a demand for, you won't find much listed on the website. Just call and...

    Thoughts on Peregrine Bullets for Dangerous Game

    Yeah you definitely don't want to be talking with him. All he has left is the old stock, which will work fine but you won't get anything not listed as in stock. Definitely contact David at Discreet Ballistics for anything new with Peregrine in the USA. I took am on the list for the next order...

    Firearm insurance recommendations

    One thing you will want them to clarify is what exactly the coverage is. I've heard that many homeowners riders will say its $5-10k coverage but that is total for all guns, regardless of how many your have and not each one individually. Don't know for sure if it's true, but I'd certainly be asking.

    Firearm insurance recommendations

    This is a good question, I have been thinking about the same myself, lately. Couple things to add here for the rest to chime in on- Has anyone ever had a claim with Eastern and if so, how did it go? I've seen several people talking about claims being denied with them. Don't know if this is just...

    LH Sako AV L/A Factory Original Stock

    Here is a factory original stock for a Left Hand Sako AV L/A. Came off a .375 H&H. Wood is relatively plain, but other than some light surface scuffs, it is in great condition with factory crossbolts and original pad. Should be easy to fix the scuffing with some 0000 steel wool as the Sako...

    Which is the “Best” African hunting TV shows

    I agree with the music- half the time it's like they are going into battle or recreating epics of the gods. I can't stand that. This is part of why I like African Sun Productions. While they still have a bit of that in some of their stuff, many of them feature much more appropriate music that...

    I'm not familiar enough with it to know there are different versions of the cartridge. Only offering one pic certainly seems like they could be trying to minimize condition issues. Still an interesting old classic though.

    Hunt over water; Shoot from truck

    Chances are, you will be fine and they will be willing to work with you, whatever you choose to do then. Good luck and enjoy your hunt! My biggest two pieces of advice for you are to #1- have relatively low expectations on the animals to keep the pressure off and up the excitement when it's a...

    First of all, I wasn't "bent out of shape", simply stating what I have personally witnessed, first hand over many years of doing this.

    Question On Heart Shots

    I've actually had mixed results. Every heart shot I had did one of 2 things- if would fall on the spot and kick for 2-3 minutes before dying or it would run 60-100 yds. I never had any of the 20-30 yds runs, they either dropped but hung on for a while or ran a long ways. I avoid heart shots...

    marco polo x cloned sheep

    Whitetail deer and bison are native to North America. The issue here, I'm sure, is more about the DNA of a non native species being brought in, and without any approval or clearance into the country. We can't bring in legally hunted animal parts until they have been sterilized and inspected...

    JES rebore update- No Browning A-bolt rifles

    Just wanted to let everyone know Jesse at JES told me today that he will not be doing any more rebores on Browning A-bolts (mine is the last one) and I believe he also said X-bolts as well. Seems Browning uses a permanant loc-tite of some sort on the barrel threads which makes it extremely hard...
