    Yes. Everything that may compromise Mr Trump is hearsay, fake news and attacks from libtards and snowflakes. Thank God we have reliable news outlets like Breitbart and esteemed reporters like Alex Jones.

    Just some of the alleged offenses, harvested from multiple sources.

    The list of alleged offenses isn't short as you surely know. Tax fraud, bank fraud, bribery, defamation, obstruction of justice, public corruption to name a few. If there is truth to these claims, obviously he should be tried in court.

    I sincerely don't think that he is. From an Americanized Christendom standpoint, maybe. From the global church going back to the Church Fathers' standpoint, I don't think so. That would be quite another discussion, though :) I think I'm gonna find my way out from this thread, things quickly get...

    Since Joe Biden is not a communist, I do not believe him to be left of the Chinese Communist Party, no. More of where I come from; I am raised conservative, Christian and have always voted conservative. And I firmly believe Mr Biden, like most Democrats, is to the right of myself.

    Many do apparently. And I don’t want to fight anyone. I’m all for common ground and getting along. This forum is a great example of people from different backgrounds with different experiences and different views. But we can unite in the love for hunting, and most certain many other things :)...

    You can hardly blame that on the “libs” though, can you. Blame the system. I wouldn’t want to be tried in any court in the States. But that’s the system.

    I don't think Mr Pence would be willing to do that. And why would he? Besides, Mr Trump should, in the name of decency, be tried in court.

    Agreed. And as always, it's important to compare apples to apples. Mr Biden and the Democratic administration taking office is by no means extremist. He would be center-right pretty much anywhere around the globe. Some people, and several of whom I know personally, fail to make that distinction.

    +1. As a European, I do by no means claim to know to detail what is going on in the US (although some things are seriously hard to grasp), but how people wrap their heads around some of these conspiracy theories circulating is totally beyond me. Irrespective of political views, the Trump cult...

    A Sad Day Yesterday. Had to Put My Old Dog Down!

    My heartfelt condolences! They become family members, no other way around it. The oldest of my two dogs is pushing 12, the other 8, and I can’t even think about how lonely and quiet life will be without them. But, just as they do, I try to live in the present and appreciate our time together. As...

    Greetings from Stockholm

    Thank you! It sure seems to be a great community with proficient and nice people. Glad I found my way here. Yes, the cartridges are quite similar. The 358 will have better ballistics and overall performance in commercial ammo, but that is due to the x57 being loaded to modest pressures. In...

    If the 9.3x62 became the new legal minimum?

    Well said and of course you are correct. I suppose that the 9,3’s continued history and later spread across Europe, inc my native Scandinavia, made it quite ordinary and “bland”. For us, the 375 is the exotic choice and therefore have that special inherent “feel” to it.

    Trijicon RMR red triangle

    Have the chance of getting a Trijicon RMR for my 416 for a reasonably good deal, think it would be a great match. According to the seller, the BAC triangle is red. However, when googling, I only find models with amber or green triangle. Is this a fake sight or am I just bad at googling? :unsure:

    If the 9.3x62 became the new legal minimum?

    For me, it comes down to a feeling. The 9,3x62 is a great caliber, especially for driven hunts imo, and fits perfectly into the European hunting style and environment. The 375, respectively, has that “African feel” over it. A little bigger, a little meaner. Obviously not a very scientific...

    Greetings from Stockholm

    You are very welcome. Let me know if you plan a trip, we have a great population of wood-grouse/capercaillie on my hunting ground. You can see them by the gravel roads early mornings. When they have withdrawn into the woods later on, and you happen to alarm them, it sounds like all hell is...

    What is my safari really going to cost?

    Don't forget you can score some great deals in the wakes of the pandemic as well. I got Buffalo + 4 PG (inc kudu) in a package for $10K. Look around, those $25K might almost be enough for two trips ex taxidermy.

    Blue collar blaser

    The Blaser R93/R8 isn’t simply about the straight pull feature. Magazine placement, scope mount system, accuracy, easy barrel swap, cocking mechanism, durability, reliability; the whole package is, imo, what makes it attractive. Personally, I could do without the straight pull, but I would still...

    Shooting Sticks

    Great video. I'm preparing for my first safari and one of the most common tips I get is to start practicing with sticks ASAP.

    Missed the question regarding handloading; I do not. But I guess I ought to start, otherwise the trip won't be the most expensive part of the hunt I reckon :LOL:

    Greetings from Stockholm

    The plan is to go with the .416 until I get the buffalo (which I hope I will, I am not getting ahead of myself) and then use the .375 for the remaining plains game. But we will see, plans have a way of changing :) Regrettably, I haven't taken any moose yet. In Sweden, we typically hunt moose...

    Greetings from Stockholm

    Haha yeah, in the old days for sure! Hunters of the younger generations seem to prefer 308, 9,3x62 and 8x57 for the most part. The 6,5 still has its place in many arsenals though and is a great cartridge :) Personally I will always keep a 9,3x57 in my cabinet, or the “potato thrower” as it is...

    Greetings from Stockholm

    Yes it is. We have a quite liberal legislation for hunting with dogs etc in Sweden and Scandinavia, we are very fortunate in that regard in comparison with most countries I guess. Let me know if you plan a vacation or trip here, would be happy to invite you hunting!
