    Wanted Leupold VX6HD 1-6x24 Illuminated

    Great scope I'm running one on a 416 Remington Magnum and after about 100 or so rounds it's still holding up fine and will be making a trip in June to Africa for Cape buffalo! I honestly think this is the perfect offic for a big bore rifle going to Africa,

    45-70 for dangerous game?

    I've not hunted Cape Buffalo yet, I hope to remedy that in June. The one thing I can add is that in my experience hunting here in the United States has taught me "If you have to ask yourself if it's enough gun then it's probably not enough gun"! The decision is up to the individual but I can...

    Bullet Puller for 470 NE

    I have found that you should resize because you can lose neck tension on the brass, although I usually just neck size at that point.

    New Buffalo Bore loads

    I know the price is high but who else is making 577 and 600 Nitro Express ammo that's available in the United States?

    Winchester Model 70 possible crack issue?

    You could try putting the rifle in the freezer for a while and try removing the stock, I've had to do it before with old rifles to get them out of their stocks! Sometimes the wood swells and by freezing you get it to shrink back up a little bit!

    Blaser R8 - Why do African PH’s and Alaskan Bear Guides Choose Not To Use Blaser R8’s?

    Well if you're not capable of saving the money to buy the things you want without putting it on the credit card well that's on you! My trip is paid for because I saved my money and work overtime when I could.

    Does anyone reload 358 Norma Mag?

    And I would agree with you on that! I have used 338 win mag cases in the past when that was all you could get and they work however I limit my firings to three times and after that I discard the case. Back in the early '90s when I first started playing with the 358 normal mag I did have a case...

    Blaser R8 - Why do African PH’s and Alaskan Bear Guides Choose Not To Use Blaser R8’s?

    I have to disagree with you on that, I own a Dakota 76 416 Remington Magnum, a 470 double, and I'm planning my first cape buffalo hunt for June. I make well under $100,000 a year and I'm definitely not part of the 1% but if you want something bad enough you can make it happen!

    New Chapuis 470NE

    I plan on using mine, a Elan 470 Nitro that I got from George at Champlin's arms for Cape Buffalo this June with Tsala Safaris.

    Does anyone reload 358 Norma Mag?

    I hate to disagree with you but the 358 norma Magnum is not a necked up 338 Winchester mag! The 358 norma Magnum was introduced two years before the 338 Winchester! Making cases for the 358 Norma mag from 338 win mag can be problematic as you have to blow the shoulder forward weakening the case...

    3.5 12ga vs big bore rifle

    I have found that the recoil of a three and a half inch turkey load far exceeds even that of my 470 Nitro double! When I ordered my 470 I wasn't sure if I'd made a mistake whether I could handle rhe recoil or not. So I decided to take my Browning Auto five three and a half inch out with turkey...

    Is it disrespectful to the animal?

    Did Dakota Taxidermy mount the Rhino for you? The reason why I asked is they mounted one for a person from Minnesota and it looks just like the one you've got.

    Leupold Patrol 6HD 1-6x24 mini review

    I mounted the patrol 6 1-6x24 on my Dakota 76 416 Remington Magnum and it'll be going with me for my cape buffalo hunt in June of 2024! So far I really like the scope and think it will be perfect for dangerous game hunting. I don't care for the CDS dials on this type of scope especially when...
