    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    Had to chime in on this one because I’m a watch guy. Love my Explorer. Perfect under-the-radar Rolex. Also own a few from Cartier, Grand Seiko, Omega, Breitling, JLC, Sinn & others. My point - Rolex makes a great watch. I’m glad I have one, and do wear my Explorer more than any of my other...

    A Covid read for our Canadian friends

    You are free to live your life cowering in the corner. I won’t stop you. But the problem is that it seems that you (and those who share your views) wont be content unless I am forced into that corner with you. Sorry, that’s not an option.

    Covid: Africa travel Restrictions / Flight Suspensions over Omicron variant

    COVID vaccination required by Safari Company or not, your suggestion

    I'll chime in on this again with my personal experience. Once it became widely understood that vaccinated and unvaccinated carry similar viral loads, then in became a risk equation for me personally and for my family. As relatively fit, middle aged guy, I felt the increasingly known risk of...

    First rifle for a 7 year old?

    Greetings - I'm looking for a rifle for my son's 7th birthday. Two questions, is this too young? He has very good judgment for a kid his age, and we constantly preach gun safety in our home. Of course, the weapon would be stored in our safe unless he's out with me. Second question, I've decided...

    COVID vaccination required by Safari Company or not, your suggestion

    @Longwalker - Hard fact: Its obvious based on your comment that you don’t know the science. You don’t know me, but I promise you that I can run circles around you on this issue. I agree that ‘choices have consequences,’ but those consequences should not be dictated by people who are unwilling to...

    COVID vaccination required by Safari Company or not, your suggestion

    I’d like to respectfully ask one question of all of those that are in favor of universal vaccination. If the vaccine works, and you have received it, why do you care what others choose to do?

    COVID vaccination required by Safari Company or not, your suggestion

    @PHOENIX PHIL - good points. My main question is why the dismissal of natural immunity? If you’ve had Covid, the likelihood is that you are at least, if not far more, protected from acquiring the virus or spreading the virus. And yet this is rarely even considered in the rush to get a shot in...

    COVID vaccination required by Safari Company or not, your suggestion

    @Longwalker, I respectfully ask what you think of natural immunity? Should a person who has already had COVID be forced to take a vaccine if they don’t wish to be ‘free to choose to stay home?’ Data from Israel- arguably the best we have in the world right now - shows that a fully vaccinated...

    For Sale .450 Rigby CZ 550

    It’s fairly comparable. The Lott feels like it doesn’t push quit as hard, but it definitely hits with a faster snap. For reference, my .458 Lott is a Ruger RSM that I sent to AHR in Montana a few years back for a little extra work.

    For Sale .450 Rigby CZ 550

    No problems with the feeding and the action is smooth. I have 2 other CZ 550s - a .375 H&H that I sent up to AHR for a #3 and a .416 Rigby that I sent to AHR for a #2. So I’m very familiar with the questionable feeding of a CZ out of the box. For me, the 375 was sticky, and the .416 was great...

    What guns will you never sell? And what guns do you regret sellling?

    Every object has a price. At the end of the day, things come and go. It's the memories that last. That noted, I didn't inherit any of my firearms from my Dad or Grandfather. My Dad was never a hunter. My Grandfather was, but he sold his guns before I got interested in hunting. If I had his...

    @YancyW - I honestly do not know and won't even hazard a guess right now what growth numbers will look like in Q3 or Q4. @mikecatt13 - whether it's a good time to buy or not depends on your cash flow, time frame and what else in life is competing for your cash resources.

    I’m shocked at reading some of the experiences posted above. I’ve hunted only once in Texas, and that was with @gizmo. At his ranch, three of us had a couple thousand acres to ourselves and Erik and his crew provided an amazing experience. Everything was taken care of.

    .270 vs .280

    I'm biased, but after my .375 (I doubt I'm alone on this forum), my .270 Win would be the second last gun I'd part with. It's just a magnificent round.

    375 zero distance

    Mine is 200 yard zero with 300 grain Accubonds. It ends up less than 2 inches high at 100. I'll add that I wouldn't take a shot much past 200 with my .375. Last animal I took with it was a cow elk at about 150 yards. She didn't take a step. For what it's worth, I'm also doubtful I'd take a...

    Most people overestimate what they can do in a year but vastly underestimate what they can do in 10. You’ll get to Africa if you make it a priority. As for this forum, you are correct. I’ve met some fantastic people through AH - virtually and in person. It’s the best place on the web.
