    Here's An Idea For Your Warthog Tusks

A full length shelf was added to the bottom rack and half shelf to the top to hold ammo and/or hunting items. The racks can be stacked or hing separately. These hold a 7x57...

    A kinda different 256 Newton

    Sorry, text slipped away. The Model 1922s are the finest rifles to carry the Newton name. They also had double set triggers although in a new design. They faced each other. Newtons next endeavor was his Model 1924. These rifles ( about 1000 rifles) were not well made and are not popular with...

    A kinda different 256 Newton

    The .256 Newton was developed by Charles Newton in 1914. Newton was like an early Weatherby.

Most never reached that goal by were...

    Lee Speed Rifle?

    I have a Lee Speed that I tried to handload rounds using 180 grain bullets from several makers. Couldn't get it to shoot very well. Finally I was able to buy some Norma 215 grain SPRN bullets and with 45.5 grains of H4350 it shoots about 0.8 inch at 50 yards (with the open sights and old eyes)...

    What’s the best watch to wear on safari?

    My watch story will not match many others. Went to Namibia in 1998 bought a Casio that did everything a watch could back then.. altitude, humidity, and I can't remember all the other things. The first morning we went out, I realized I didn't need to know all those things let alone the time. By...

    I was fortunate to hunt Namibia in 1998. Bought a casio that did everything. The first morning out I realized I didn't really need to know the exact time let alone the altitude, humidity and several other measurements the watch could tell me. I could feel it was going to rain.... I was there to...
