Nosler Independence in 7mm-08 with a 300 can. Probably my favorite deer/coyote/range gun.

I thought you couldn't take 50BMG or 338Lapua out of the country because they are NATO sniper rounds. I assume we are starting in the US because we love 50bmg and 338Lapua

I’d like to have the 308 version

https://www.americanhunter.org/content/boers-big-bullets-and-buffalo/ I read this a while back. They seemed to do just fine.

Thats interesting. I think most of the lost animals were shot with hornady and barnes 300gr. Very likely could have been bullet failure. I know a lot of guys have good luck with hot reloads but I can't speak to it.

People love the 45/70 and I just don't get it. Seems like every time we don't recover a wounded animal it was shot with a 45/70. Anyone else have that experience?

I'm looking for a broker to help me get my trophies into Montreal. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I can't preach it enough but a shock eater shooting pad does wonders and it's thin enough that you won't notice it. I wore one in my undershirt while using a 470 and never bruised. I don't have any affiliation with them in any way but I had excellent results. I would say a 9.3X74R double gun...

Ruger deerstalker would be awesome if you could get it threaded.

Out of curiosity why the 44mag? I would think a 357 would yield similar results but give the option for 38 practice or the 300blk for quiet and similar distances. I love a 44 mag but why does it stand out to you?

7pt hermaphrodite. Still in velvet, no testicles, milk bag. Game warden called his penis underdeveloped but I’d call it very average. Nosler independence 7mm-08 pistol Trifecta handgun rest Making weird memories

an absolute must have!

did you buy it new or used? They are pretty expensive!

I recently met a guy that owned a netgun. Unfortunately now I might need a netgun. Anyone have any experience with them or know which is best? I feel like any time this thing leaves the house it ends in hilarity.

A small thing but with a shorter bolt I don't have to lift my head from the stock to cycle the bolt. The standard length 375H&H and 416 Rigby bolt hits my nose and lifting my head to cycle slows the process quite a bit. Additionally, I only stand 5'8 and the guide gun (while ugly) fits me and...

No kidding. What a beautiful piece!

Mine are carbon but I'd sell them. PM me if you're interested

Sounds like you've been to Yuma

I have been looking for a cannon for years. where does one go to purchase a cannon that can actually fire a projectile?

I'm late to the party but if you're still looking for options look no further. I use a rest from trifectahandgun with a cheap ($30) monopod. The owner of the company is awesome and the product is exactly what a mobile handgun hunter wants. I know for a fact I'm minute of squirrel from 75...

how did it shoot for those few shots? I've considered buying one several times.

Flamethrower. I'm not sorry even a little bit.

Look at the Henry single shot. They are beautiful, tight, and shoot great. I sneak it to the woods on occasion.

Perhaps off topic but I'm interested in why Merkel didn't make the list. I prefer them to Chapuis though both seem to shoot quite well.

What part of Alabama? I'm in Meridian, MS and would like to discuss the 9.3X74R.

Isn't that the truth. I love it when people tell me that the computer does all of the work anyway.

Someone needs to drill some sling studs into that stock. I have a nylon/velcro sling with a punisher patch that is just waiting for a rifle like that one.

Frikkie is by far the best PH I've hunted with. Seeing those photos reminded me of the wonderful hunt I had there as well. De Klerk safaris does such a great job. I would recommend them to anyone.

Swarovski tripod mount. $100 shipped to lower 48.

get a BFR and 45-70 double.

I have been nipped by a 25-06 and have shot a 416 comfortably. Sometimes the shoulder weld isn't quite right. I will admit that a 470 is just beyond my level of recoil tolerance. Then I found shockeater recoil pads. They don't mess up your LOP and they dissipate recoil like nothing else. I...

did these ever sell?

I have a couple of boxes of DGS if you'd like to trade for softs.

Funny you should ask. Yes, Mississippi would. In fact, I tried on out last year. You could also use a 45-70, 444 Marlin, 460 S&W, etc. A slug gun, single shot 35Rem, or 44Mag are also popular choices. I agree that it is not primitive in the least, but this is Mississippi. I typically use a...

Say what you will about cheap rifles of many varieties but it just doesn't take that much to kill a deer. I shot one a couple of years back with a traditions trapper pistol. 20 grains of powder and a 50 cal round ball killed it immediately. Mississippi counts smokeless powder guns during...

I may have missed it but any chance of getting a signed copy? I would really like to have that and to give one as a gift.

I have purchased from him. The combination gun showed up as advertised with no issues whatsoever.

I use a 416Ruger on small southern whitetails and it works quite well. It makes much less of a mess than the standard deer rounds. I think you'll be just fine.

If I had it to do again I would probably save the money on taxidermy and go with photos. They are a pain to move and they are very expensive. I could have done a plains game hunt for the cost of the taxidermy.

I had a wonderful experience working with them but be very clear what you want. My buffalo was blind in one eye and they took the extra time to hand paint the eyeball smoky blue just like it actually looked. My warthog and baboon also came out excellent. One of my buddies wanted a leather...

Short answer, they are big. The quarter turn doesn't save you much. Thats a cape kudu on the right and is only 43 inches. Kudu stands out 32 inches and the gemsbok is 28.

Never bought from them but might be worth a phone call. Last time I bought 416 Ruger it was $60/box from buds. Crazy how things have gotten. https://opticsandammo.com/product/hornady-416-ruger-400gr-dgx-20-mfg-82665/

I have no excuse and thus the frustration. I’m 33, I’m in pretty decent shape, and I have a 375, a 416, and a 470 that I have never complained about. When the first round popped me I was pretty offended. Must have got me just right in an awkward position off of bags. I’m not usually recoil...

I concede. My neighbor and his boy both shot it today and said it was gentle. Given the truly fantastic bruise on my shoulder I can only conclude that it must have hit me just right on the first shot and the rest of them were just further insult. Just one of those weird things I guess.

Well english is english. I never said a light loaded 25 kicks like a .416. I said one is a crack and one is a shove and I prefer the shove. If you like the your recoil sharp you should buy yourself a nice ruger 1 in 25-06 I suppose. I know where there might be one for sale someday soon.

Call me crazy but I'm telling you it was sharp. My shoulder is pretty tender today after 12 rounds off the bench. The recoil pad is pretty firm but I didn't think it would matter that much with such a light bullet. A 115Gr bullet going 2600fps isn't even 7mm-08 power. I would never put a kid...

Funny you should say that. I finally got the scope mounted and level and happily went to the range to sight in my new to me Ruger 1 that will be very gentle in the shoulder and will shoot flat as a pancake. It does, in fact, shoot flat as a pancake. It is not, however, gentle in the shoulder...

Thank you all so much. I have a scope on the way and should be test firing this weekend.
