I'm curious to know what collectors of high quality firearms feel about the market in general. I am open to buying the right firearm at the right price but have some hesitation. 1. Central Banks have dumped excessive liquidity on the market since 2008. It has sent all collectibles up in...

The BRNO 602's came with two triggers. I am looking for the straight two stage set trigger. If anybody has one laying around collecting dust and are willing to sell, I am looking for one. Thanks.

It's an interesting phenomenon how a song you haven't thought of for decades all at once gets stuck in your head. Perhaps this will bring back memories for some of our members here and I won't be the only person humming it all day. Cheers;) PS: Feel free to add songs that take you back.....

Have you ever wondered how our Grandparents 8th grade education would compare with an education today. Here are two 8th grade final exams from 1895 and 1912.

W.J. Jeffery had two rifles at DSC. The 404J and the 500J were both in production. A 333J is not in the immediate plans. Both rifles had price tags in the mid five figures. The business model of Jeffery hasn't changed much since the manufacture of the rifles are being contracted out through...

This is older news with Larry Rudolph's conviction this past summer, but Dateline had a two hour program on this a couple weeks ago. We recorded the program and just watched it this weekend. The program supplied quite a bit of information I was unaware of. If you have a chance to watch the...

Safari ya Marafiki (Safari of friends) Mwatisi Safaris Jerome establishing AH changed my perspective on hunting internationally with friends. This hunt is the first international hunt I have done with friends and probably won’t be the last. It is interesting how friendships can develop through...

My x8 binoculars are MIA. I would like to say they were taken, but in reality they were probably left somewhere by an old man who is going senile. :rolleyes: Would prefer a pair newer than 2004 when I believe they added Swarovision and the model was Mark IV, but am open to older models...

Thoughts and prayers for everyone in the path of Laura. Stay safe!

With this being the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, some of us will be reliving memories. My memories may be from a slightly different perspective than most who watched it on TV. My parents were on holiday with their three youngest kids, me being the oldest of the three. We stopped for...

A Question for Democrats. You ask me who I am voting for after the primaries. Not being enthralled with either candidate I reply that I will probably write in a name not connected with either party’s candidate. You tell me that I am sexist for not voting for Hillary. I reply I don’t feel...

I bought a couple hundred of the 100 Trillion Dollar notes to give away to family and friends. I probably paid $20 to $50 for all of them. Don't remember exactly. Wish I had bought and kept 1,000 of the notes. Then I would have 20,000+ pounds. Oh, what am I thinking. I wish I had bought...

We use the example of Kenya banning hunting in 1978, and the subsequent loss of 70% of the countries wildlife since that date. This is one of our strongest examples of using hunting for conservation. Malawi should also be another example of a country we should be able to use. We don't use...

This is the leader of South Africa! South Africa is the economic engine of Africa. What could go wrong? (Brickburn initially found/posted this on the Rand Falling thread but the video was pulled)

Changes have been taking place in Tanzania with the installation of the new president. Is this a publicity stunt? Possibly. The only other African leader I can think of off hand that might stoop down and pick up trash is Paul Kagame/Rwanda. Would a Robert Mugabe or a Jacob Zuma do this...

Went to "Jurassic World" yesterday and learned a few things: 1. If hunting an animal the size of a T-Rex, you need to use a 45-70. 2. Double rifle and bolt trash need not apply. A real hunter uses a lever action. 3. Forget open sights, ghost sights, red-dot or low magnification scopes. For...

The term McNab came up on another thread and reminded me of a story from my youth. I have heard/read of a similar story a number of years ago, so there may be another story like this out there. Hope you enjoy. The story was told by Mzee Bauer, an old ivory hunter from the Deutsch Ostafrika...

Another one of the "old timers" has gone. Having been out of the country I am way behind on my email but just found his obituary. Bwana Balson was our game warden in southern Tanzania in the late 1960's. He was a great hunter and conservationist. He wrote two books that were published by...
