We're celebrating the youngest nephews b-day today. The older brothers is a month later but they're both getting their presents at the same time. Of course I had to get the wood grain bb gun. They're each getting a full kit.

Now that duck season is all but over up here, I managed to get my homemade boat out on the water with its new motor, a 15.9hp predator with a long tail. It's definitely a new experience controlling that thing but worked well once I got used to it. I actually had the boat out before but only...

I didn't plan on buying any guns this year but this one popped up for sale and immediately I was interested. I emailed the seller and asked what the weight of the gun was as it looked very trim. They responded with 5 pounds 7 ounces. I was now very interested as I have wanted a light o/u 28...

The kid shot a nice bull at 1100 yds with a 6.5 CM. First shot in the guts, second in the hip and third in the neck. Classless shooting is all it was and the father should be admonished for encouraging it.

I'm looking for 50-100 new or once fired brass. Also 260-300 gr. bullets. Let me know what you have. Thanks

I've been curious as to the amount of animals others have seen in Namibia over the last couple years. I ask because the drought seemed to have hit central Namibia very hard from what I experienced last September. I didn't get a shot at an animal until the second morning and then nothing the...

67 rounds of Nosler 30-06 w/180 gr. Accubond's. This is my leftover from my Africa prepping and hunt. Worked great. $200 shipped

Boyd's laminate stock for JC Higgins model 50. 14 1/4" lop. I cut off a 1.5" or so chunk of the forend and tapered it instead of the 90 degree end it came with. I finish sanded it and sealed it with three coats of tru oil. It was hunted in Africa for 10 days so it does have some blemishes but...

I just got a notification that Midway has H335. Limit 1 pound.

I just received this from @AZDAVE today. I figured I would take a chance on it fitting. It's a late 50's JC Higgins 30-06 that came with an ugly factory stock that I tried and failed to beautify. Then it developed a crack so I bought a Boyd's laminate to put on it for Africa. It isn't...

So I got this idea from another forum I used to visit where quite the thread developed where people were relaying their own paranormal or supernatural experiences or the experiences of people who they new personally. Please don't share some story that you heard on youtube, though there are some...

I got back from my hunt 7 days ago. On my trip to and from Namibia by bag was ransacked at OR Tambo. On the first incident they took a fixed blade knife that belonged to one of my grandfathers. It was actually nothing special and I don't even know whose it was but on the way back I was too...

To anyone who has been to Namibia recently, were you required to have a yellow fever vaccination for entry? I'm finding what seems like conflicting info but I believe it just means that you need one if you have been through an affected country. Thanks Cameron

I know nothing about M77's but it looked like a nice gun. It is not mine btw. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/ruger-rifles-77/ruger-magnum-m77-416-rigby.cfm?gun_id=101682991

Last week I purchased a pre war mauser sporter made by JP Sauer and Sons chambered in 30-06. It features a 25" octagon to round fully ribbed barrel with 100 and 200 yd sights. 200 yd is flip up. The rifling in the barrel looks very good and it has a barrel sling mount. An oberndorf action...

Can anyone relay any experiences of overnighting and departing with firearms from O'hare in Chicago? I'm looking into doing a park and fly in either Glenview or Prospect Heights. I plan on contacting the local PD's tomorrow to make sure there are no local ordinances I need to be aware of...

There are some powders currently available at midsouth shooters supply that someone might be looking for.

Gentlemen, I finally pulled the trigger and decided to not wait any longer. Sep 6-14 of 2021 I will be hunting with the Metzger family of Makadi Safaris in Namibia on their family run operation. All nine days will be for management plains game animals which is great for me since it gives more...

Explosion is at 4:28 That gun looks janky as hell to me and I certainly wouldn't fire it. Also a lesson to not fire rounds that you aren't sure of because it sounds like this guy is about a 1/4" away from being dead.

Looking for 200 gr .308 a-frames. Looking to buy or I can trade 55 gr .224 hornady fmj's. Let me know if you have anything. Thanks

This is probably a long shot but on another forum I learned of an SCI chapter in southwest Ohio that has a sensory safari trailer they use for introducing the blind to different animals so they know the difference between a weasel and a cape buffalo. They also take it to other various...

Technical info: Gun: Browning Safari 458 win mag Affects all ammunition from 300 gr ballistic tips, 500 gr flat faced lead to long 450 gr tsx. It dings the long 450 gr bullets and a bit of the case. These dings are showing up on my brass when I load one round at a time or on the last...

So who hunts Africa in tennis shoes or heavy weight hiking shoes like Merrills or Keens? I would be hard pressed to not wear my wide comfy Altra Lone Peak trail runners. I don't need or want ankle support and want breathability in the heat that leather and thick canvas doesn't have. I see...

UTG SKS receiver scope mount. This replaces the top part of the receiver. It's a very solid well built piece. It has one spot with some small dings viewable in third picture otherwise in great shape. $95 shipped to lower 48.

I need to square and crown a .30 caliber barrel and need recommendations for cutters. I can get both cutters, crown cutter is 45 degreee, and pilot from Midway for $100. The brand they have is PTG. Brownells has the cutters, cutter is only 79 degree, and and pilot for $165. I know that metal...

I'm looking to eventually replace my grandpa's Hi Standard model B 22lr pistol with 6 3/4" barrel. Does anyone have any experience with Hi Standard pistol's? Are they accurate and reliable? Do they feed all ammunition well or are they picky? I've been able to handle one with a 4" barrel...

I was going to buy a Lee cast single stage press but can't find one new or reasonably priced so if anyone has a single stage or other cheaper press please let me know. Also looking for 458wm dies and a shell holder. Thanks

Well I loathed the original stock on my JC Higgins model 50 in 30-06 so I decided to do something about it. I cut off about 4" or so of the forend to give it a more classic sporting rifle look, reshaped it and sanded off the original 50 gallon drum finish. I've always wanted a red rifle stock...

I'm thinking of trying .452 pistol bullets in my 458 win mag for practice since I can get my hands on them for now. These loads will merely be for practice at 50 yds or closer. Are there any negative affects and how much will accuracy be affected? I don't care if they're 2 or 3" groups as...

I realize this is probably in vain but you don't know until you ask. Is anyone willing or looking to get rid of primers or powder? Powders I'm mainly looking for are IMR 8208, Varget, H335, H4895, RAM TAC and Benchmark. If you have any others that are good in 223, 30-06 or 458wm let me...

So I'm looking for a vehicle for my mother and have no clue when it comes to AWD vehicles but am finding some good deals on them vs 4wd vehicles. I've never owned or driven one. She lives in northern WI so alot of snow and slick roads to contend with. How effective is AWD in winter conditions...

There's a nice one on gunbroker. Type in 1968 FN Belgium and you should find it. Only a couple hours left but figured I would put it out there since it's cheap. I would buy it but have one already.

I just got a text from my sister and email from EAA. AirVenture 2020 is officially cancelled. This is a crushing blow for EAA, general aviation and the state of Wisconsin. Sun n fun being cancelled was bad enough not to mention the uncertainty of whether they will be able to afford to put it...
