    Encore Pistol by Thompson / Center

    Thought I'd share some pics of my new Encore pistol. Got to shoot it for the first time last night. It'll definitely get your attention, but recoil isn't that bad. It won't be making the trip to RSA, but do plan to use it this year in pursuit of MO and KS whitetails. I bought the action...

    Caliber 30-30 use in Africa???

    When Ray brought up using a 30-30 of his grand dad's in Africa for a safari, it got me to thinking about taking mine over there. Mine is also my grand dad's and think it would be awesome to hunt with that gun. Are lever action rifles allowed into various countries of Africa? What about...
