Welcome!

“If you roll around in shi+ long enough, pretty soon you start to smell like it.” -My Dad on being careful of the company you keep.

Welcome. Lots of good people with good information for first-timers. I have just planned my first hunt, as well. Good Luck.

Thank you. I reckon I’ll have to be careful with this one until I find someone who can make one.

I recently bought a Cooper Arms Model 52 338-06 from an estate sale. It came with one detachable magazine. I have scoured the Internet and can find none for sale. The website for the Cooper Arms that is supposedly in Arkansas, has zero info about any production in the near future. If anyone...

Found the receipt for all the work. Previous owner had it done prior to my purchase. Slick

It was re-blued. I can’t speak to the chokes. I found the receipt. It’s below.

I have a Remington 3200 Trap 12 ga I bought but don’t shoot enough trap anymore to keep. The gun has 30” barrels, F/IM, ported barrels and very little wear. Stock has very minimal marks; bores are bright and shiny. It was fully worked by Laib’s Gunsmithing in 2014 or 2015-I’m looking for the...

Thanks for sharing. Good read.

Truly amazing.

Thanks for your input. I have found a few people who were willing to sell some, so I do have some on the way. As far as any being produced, you’re correct-there isn’t any. Resized 30-06 does seem to be the most common. I have contacted a couple of brass dealers and currently haven’t heard...

Good evening, Well, I finally got my dream oddball caliber. Does anyone have any info on where to grab or buy any brass from a 338-06 for sale? I’ll even buy any 338-06 ammo if you have some-reasonably priced of course. I know, I know, it’s an oddball. However, I’m gonna take this rifle...

Good looking gun. GLWS.

Nice rifle. I can’t believe it is still for sale.

Actually, Browning used a salt drying process to speed up drying time of the walnut stocks they used to increase production. I think it was used to fast dry furniture wood. Unfortunately, it ruined a generation of fine shooting rifles and shotguns. I had a 300 WM Safari from ‘71. Shot...

Welcome!

Hahahahaha. Reminds me of the old rat-and snake-infested camp house we had out at the deer lease. One October we went out to “clean a little.” It was still Mississippi hot. After lifting up a couch to check for snakes, this huge rat ran out and ran to the other side of the room. As it backed...

Mine rolled in today.

Fire sale during a divorce. Best/worst type of guns to buy. I landed this pair after digging through piles of old targets: early 70’s Mdl 700 .270-sub MOA everytime with 150 gr BTSP- and an 870 20 ga Wingmaster with two barrels. Can’t say what I paid, but it was a steal. Love both those guns.

Good evening, Does anyone have any experience hunting with Zana Botes in Namibia? Thanks, Slick

Scope is sold.

It’s a boring rug.

For Sale: Kahles 1.5-6x42 scope, 4a reticle. Comes with Warne quick detach rings. Asking $1,700 OBO.

Could you send me your address so I can send the check? Thanks, Steve

I’ll take it.

I’ll take it.

Book still available?

I’ve been working with the Barnes 300 TSX in the 375 I got from @PARA45. I started with the loads below and worked up 0.5 gr each step up to find the right spot in the CZ. IMR 4064 @64 grains-max of 66 IMR 4350 @72.5 grains-max of 77 H4895 wasn’t too impressive in 300gr Barnes but worked...

PM sent

He fell like a leaf off an oak in the fall. Good shot. Those keyboard cowboys don’t even wear spurs.

Do you still have these?

I’m interested. My gun is a 70’s model BDL. Are the sights compatible with that model?

HUNTROMANIA

I’ll take the big bore slide and remaining smaller slide if still available.

Thanks. I’ll give that a try.

I have a CZ 550 that is shooting LOW(5-6”) @100 yds) with factory express sights. 270 gr Barnes loads drop 3-4”. 300 gr Barnes drop 10” @100yds. Any recommendations for someone to do sight work? Thanks, Steve

HUNTROMANIA

Do you still have the 375s?

You still have the book?

I’ll take 5 of the the Armscor 375. PM sent.

I recently completed a gun deal with @PARA45. THE CZ 550 arrived with the one mark he showed in pics. The Nikon scope with quick detach rings was clean as well. Double boxed and secure. Easy transaction and a FANTASTIC rifle for this hunter. First group with Barnes 300 TSX is below. It...

I know others have had a thread on this before, but does anyone know where I can find some irons for an old BDL 270? I bought it from a guy and the gun is beat to hell, but it still shoots lights out. I’d like to shoot it with irons. Thanks, Steve

Good evening, I’ve been looking at CZ 550s and the newer Winchester model 70’s-which are scarce as hen‘s teeth. I’ve seen a couple of Rugers and today I spoke with a guy about a Rem 700 that he doesn’t shoot anymore. Basically, I’m looking under $2500. I want a rifle that is dependable and...

Sounds good. I’ll bring the wife and we can talk Africa. I’m gonna need some help convincing her it is safe to go.

Thanks to all of you for sharing. i appreciate it.

Thanks for the info. Gotta love the Model 70. Legendary.

I’ll look him up. Thanks.

Will do. Thanks for the info.

Not yet. Hope to have that wrapped up at SCI in Nashville. I have a friend who highly recommends Somerby in South Africa. He has been with them many times and always has great hunts. Any recommendations on your end?
