I have broken both ankles and can have weak and or stiff ankles at times. Dr advised me to not get in habit of wearing same type of boots or shoes every day, to change up regularly.....this strengthens joints because it keeps things flexible and strengthens muscles that get lazy from habit of...

Can I get an exact measurement of length? If long enough I will take it.

Tom, I would be very interested in a 450/400 basic double. It would be a tool to be used as designed and not a safe queen as so many higher end firearms become. I know of several PHs that would get in line as well, they would want something with a little more stopping power that a 375. I think...

In most instances at my place multiples are mandatory. If I purchase a rifle I need to plan on 2 of same caliber up to the very heavy thumpers. A his and a hers version....my wife likes to hunt and shoot as well. She has been with me on 3 of my trips to Africa and will be going with me to hunt...

If this is close enough Kruger Human in Bloemfontein RSA done it

The trip home is a piece of cake, stay out all night hunting jackals (late in the trip) don't take a nap or sleep in after the night hunt. You can sleep all the way home with out a problem

That's a very good question, my guess is if it does...... this will really put a hurt on the safari business as a whole. The increased costs in shipping has already slowed things down for many.

The only ar500 plates I have shot through have been from speed as well. Big bores swing the plates hard and usually wrap the chains. Short pieces of fire hose works much better than chains and can be hit multiple times before needing replaced.

218bee-416RM and 5 in between all NO1 Never once felt handicapped while carrying one. All shoot well with a proper hand load. Very simple and with a little practice can operate as fast as most with a bolt gun.

Usually if forced to shoot for safety concerns it's no fee

A buddy and I had similar circumstances.....not to mention any names but my guess is taxidermist was located in North Pole? Our antlers and capes were shipped to airport, we picked them up and took to a local taxidermist. Our hunt was in 18, just hung boo on wall last week. If you are still...

While Turkey hunting had a bobcat hit my front shoulder from behind the tree I was sitting next too. No harm caused, it wasn't until after it was all over i got to thinking how close those flying fish hooks were to my throat. While heading back to vehicle from a failed stalk on Impala, had a...

Have an upcoming trip and looking to buy or trade .338 Swift scirocco bullets or 225gr a-frames. PM with what you have Thank You

Agreed

If near NW MO I could help you out, can't ship them with out hazmat

I have personally seen more misfires from hunting buddies factory ammo, than I have had with my personal handloads. Most firearms I own, I have never fired a factory round through them. The ones I purchased new have only seen the factory test round in them. On PG and especially DG I am not...

We just got back and took the same combo. I shot 250gr swift A frames out of 338wm. They are hammers. Only bullet recovered was from eland (it broke skin on off side but didn't exit) I was not satisfied with load results for 160 gr in 7mm-08 and settled with 140 gr Sierra's btsp. Impala was all...

I have had both, did have a claim with Ripcord since COVID. They did pay claim but took nearly a year. Did not have any claim or needed service with Global Rescue

This warrior responded to calling. Thought he was being challenged and came within 338wm range.

Hello folks, I just purchased a Ruger No.1 in 375 h&h. Was getting ready to develop a load and measured the chamber in this rifle. Specs show 3.6" oal, this rifle measures 3.735" to the lands. Is this much jump common? Depending upon what an individual rifle likes, I normally seat bullets...

We were there 30 days ago, with the exchange rate at that time the zebra skins varied depending upon grade/size between $900 & $1050. I didn't look at price of springbok hides

The Rigby is definitely a classic and will always be popular. The Remington is a newer cartridge and easier to find brass and loaded ammo. I chose a Remington based on that alone. I doubt a buff or anything else will be able to tell the little difference in ballistics between the two.

I built my bride a 7mm-08. Mountain rifle type, light weight. Recoil is a little stout for her above 140gr bullets. She loves it but wanted a bit more hp for larger plainsgame. In process of putting together a 7mm RM where she will have a brake on it here in states and PH will keep a suppressor...

I had a tip shared with me about 10 years ago after a week long trip to Ticksas (Texas) county MO where the ticks would carry you off. Not uncommon to have 50-60 crawling on you at any time. Started using Irish Spring soap and have yet to have a tick ever attach since. They may crawl on you...

If going to Limpopo area. Look for critters that you won't find very common elsewhere (bushbuck) Have a Blessed Trip

400 gr a frame at 2400 is perfect. I have 2 recovered from buffalo that penetration was over 48" and retained over 95%. When they perform that good you really don't need a solid.

Sorry about your friend. Agreed on go, we are never promised our next breath.

We were not going to do any taxidermy on our 1st trip. That starts to change when wife is blessed with a unique kudu (wide) and then I ended up with an almost 43"+ buff. Ended up having 4 mounts and 1 euro done. Very glad I did. Everytime I look at, just a reminder of the adventure. Not sure...

My wife and I hunt regularly together, started over 30 yrs ago. I really enjoy spending time in God's creation, pursuing his creatures, and could not think of a better person to be with. But as we have matured, I find that I enjoy her being successful more than myself. Our upcoming trip to...

That price was for a rock chucker press, dies and shell holder.

I came across this receipt in a set of dies. Original purchase in 1975 The press is still in use, I think my brother is still using some of the brass, but the bullets are long gone. Along way from where prices are today

Must have been in the karoo. Not sure if same place, but same meal we had our 1st night at a particular lodge

When we stayed there, our flight came in real late. We went straight to Citi and left our firearms at the police station until next morning. Got them inspected and cleared to go in no time.

There were some on GB last night as well

.338s are on way Just looking for some 160s or 140s in 7mm

Looking for a few more projectiles for an upcoming trip in a few weeks. If anyone has any to spare PM me Thank You

I don't think Kruger Human is with same company. We received our mounts from Kruger and I couldn't have been happier with taxidermy, euro mount, and crating. All was top notch, very meticulously done. I would definitely use his services again.

I shoot gas checked cast bullets out of mine. 1700 fps w/ Mild recoil and alot cheaper for practice. I bought an rcbs mold at same time I picked up rifle probably 20 yrs ago.

We have a group of couples going to S.A. next year. I have requested to have a female PH that we hunted with on a previous trip be a part of this one. There are some of the wives that want to have a ladies day out hunting. It will not be easy for you, but if you do the best that you can. Be...

Sounds like a good time. Our schedule is still a little hectic but will be getting better in 3 weeks or so. I will try to pick a cool afternoon and have a little get together just south of St. Joe for anyone interested.

There is a spray able product that I think is called liquid electrical tape. Mask off outside of your rings and spray a light coating on inside of rings. Reassemble and let dry. Your problem will be solved and not terrible to work with or remove if you decide to change rings or optics later.

My Rem 700 7mag shoots h4831 extremely well. Does good with IMR but prefers H powder. You should be able to find a sweet spot with velocity you are trying to obtain.

Yes a 2nd round typically between ring finger and pinkie on left hand. Kick empty out with lever right hand dropping next round in with left hand, close take aim and fire.

I have hunted DG with a Ruger#1, as stated earlier a 2nd shot can be made in comparable time or less than with a standard bolt. The 3rd shot does take a bit more time. I checked with PH and outfitter prior to hunt and both told me that if anyone is crazy enough to hunt Buffalo with a single...

If you can make it tomorrow and your significant other shoots, welcome as well. My wife may shoot a little tomorrow
