H4350 will work a ton of things, it might not be the best in any situation, but it can cover a very wide range.

What a nice setup for a Alaska bear hunt.

Very fair price.

Kick that cancer in the ass and look forward to your hunt.

300gr Frame at 2500 is pretty easy to do, but not at the sake of accuracy. I would also say, the idea that Elk are easier to bring down that most PG is just not true in my experience. If you have a combo that works for elk, using it for plains game is not going to be an issue. If you are hunting...

We didn't have room for a matchbook on the flight back to Harare!

Leupold, Tract or you could probably find a used Swaro for that price.

I have never had that happen, and I always shoot all my ammo when on a hunt in Africa. Never have any to bring back home.

I mistakenly quoted you there, I thought you were referring to the Doxa. Sorry for the mistake.

Doxa, IMO hands down the best value in the watch world. Here is a great example: https://doxawatches.com/collections/sub-1500t/products/sub-1500t-whitepearl?variant=41668300112050

I would be beyond shocked if you got anything other than a very plain just date in 4 months. I am on the wait list for something I really want, I would be surprised if it is here in less than two years.

I have a Wicked Edge mounted to my reloading work bench. I can get anything knife to hair popping pretty quick, I then use a strop to keep it that way for a while.

I wouldn't even think twice about it, hunt with the rifle you have. Using a good bullet is always the right answer, not just to the OP's question about a .270, we would all say the same damn thing if he asked about any other chambering. Just use a good bullet, shoot it in the proper place...

For the past 20+ years I worked in state legislatures all over the country and on the Hill, I have never once in all that time seen a GOA lobbyist working in any of those settings. There are 535 members of Congress, give or take a couple given open seats at any one time, if you asked every one...

I don't know if it was that many, but I know the dollar amount for them was several 100k.

He didn't make millions a year in salary. It was only the last couple years he broke 1m in actual comp. Edit: I am wrong, checked the 990's, it was further back than I thought.

I think many assume 223/5.56 ball just pencils through things, it absolutely does not.

You were head shooting them, Toby....

If I were talking my 223 bolt rifle to Africa for hunting any of what the OP mentioned, I would use a 62gr TSX. Now, if I was just hunting PG and hoping to find one of those three while I was out hunting, that isn't the route I would go, but if those three are what is wife his after, that is the...

@Red Leg needs no help in this conversation, but I have used 55gr ball on coyotes and hogs. it works without question. There are better options, but they are just icing on a cake.

As much as those things make me cringe, I put one in my last trip over and it seemed to help a bit.

It is a modified buffalo skinner. If you are interested, I'm sure he still has the specs. If not, I think I have is original drawing somewhere.

Riton makes a very good scope, far better glass than the majority of scopes on the market.

@Red Leg wrote it out very well. I can't imagine going in the field without a fixed blade knife, and I would rather have a bit extra blade to work with than one a bit too short. Here is the knife I have carried on my last few trips, I had Gary work up the blade shape for me. It is a great...

You can make it work, just use the above services to cut down on any potential hangups.

As you can see, prices vary widely.

The opportunity for a bull that size is pretty damn limited. Those are just incredible bulls.

I am guessing here, but I think a buff skull, bush buck skull and hide, was around 5000 all in. From dip and pack to taxidermist. Used Coppersmith in Dallas.

I have 100s of domestic flights flying with a firearm, I honestly have had very few bad experiences. The vast majority of the time, both the airline staff and TSA have been no issue at all.

That isn't true anymore, they changed the lock rule years ago. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/transporting-firearms-and-ammunition

I don't have my numbers in front of me, but my last shipment was enough for me to stop sending stuff back. I simply don't care enough. I will take photos and keep the memories.

I have a F350 diesel and a Toyota Tundra that was my father's, I was going to sell it when he passed away, but I started driving it a bit and really like it for a daily driver now. For diesels, I am a Ford guy, always have been. I always add an after market fuel tank, with the 62 gallon tank, I...

Would you mind sharing some info about that load? That's a screamer.

For whitetail, whatever shoots better, doesn't matter if you are shooting less than several 100 yards.

I carry a knife on a safari because I carry a knife every other place I go. Besides for cutting things, it is a hell of a lot better than a rolled up magazine if I need it for social work. I carry something pretty close to what @Red Leg posted, I just had Gary give it a bit more of a upward...

Yes, it is an angled, but attaches to the scope tube.

Nope, you are right. See if your guy can maybe order a mount that goes on the scope but is also offset? I know they make them, that might help mitigate some of the issues. Something like this maybe: https://reptiliacorp.com/product/rof-sar-34mm-for-leupold-delta-point-pro/

You will have to go forward enough to clear it all. Normally, I want them as far back as I can, that would be on a gas gun, but that isn't going to work on a bolt gun. But I really think even being further forward than you normally want is going to be better than a piggyback setup.

With a 50mm scope, you are going to have a crazy offset if you piggyback it. Even on an ACOG, the top mounted RMR wasn't much to use to me. You will have to break your cheek weld to even see though it, you will have to calculate the offset and then you are shooting a 300wm with you head off the...

Do you have pic rail that the scope is mounted on? If so, an offset mount off the rail is far better than an side mount off a scope. I have tried every combination I could imagine, the offset mounted directly to the pic rail has worked best for me. This is the one I have settled on using...

https://www.kampfeldcustom.com/boltfluting0914_007.htm But there are tons of them available. I have my smith change the angle if needed.

Pillars and bed the action would be something I do without question. I also add new action screws. https://www.newenglandcustomgun.com/proddetail.php?prod=N-70B I also install a better bolt knob, but that is personal preference. I have larger hands, and I make sure I have a knob I can run the...

Good Lord, I couldn't eat more than a dozen of those...

Strongly agree here, the Rick Young harness is a must have for me. I take several of them with me, they never break, but don't want to do a hunt without one.

I can't believe how good Tract products are for the price. I have several of their scopes also and they are without question top tier.

Swaro 8.5x42 I couldn't ask for more. My second best binos are Tract Toric, they are incredibly nice in general and outstanding for the money.

Just send it back, won't be an issue.
