    Shawn at Gracy Long story short. I was seriously incapacitated 2 years ago while on a hunt with clients. We have a private farm in SA. I basically couldn’t walk. Wife was beside herself, she called them, they babysat me back to the US. Amazing customer service! Bruce Mdluli treated me like...

    Accuracy problems with CZ550 in .375 H&H

    Speaking professionally, with all of the above work completed, Brick is correct on the next step. One of the most difficult ponds I have had to dive into is operator error. There are rifles that some of us shoot well and others do not. Is it a "hogback" stock or a straight one? I shoot the...

    Browning x-bolt vs. winchester m70 ultimate shadow?

    Winchester. The new FN built rifle is one of the most "out of the box" accurate rifles I have seen in recent memory. CRF, good trigger, good customer service. I have been logging customer experiences on this rifle for about 5 years now. I recommend it. The Browning....light weight, light...

    Some "cull hunt" questions.....

    I hunt culls. It's really the only thing I can afford to hunt. Can't afford trophy fees or heads to mount. The air fare and trip costs take years for me to save up. Not complaining in any way here. I am grateful for the opportunity to hunt Africa and for the many friends I have acquired there...

    Just got off the phone with Customs in Tucson. Heading over in a few months with a buddy. They say they haven't heard a word about needing an ITN number. Sounded ridiculous to them. Said they would check on it.

    New USA requirements in addition to the form 4457

    Okay, I'm just a poorly educated old gunsmith, but enough is enough. Let's get organized, if we ain't already. I got rope (just kiddin' sort of) Knowing what I know of the guys that hunt overseas, most are well educated and of reasonable means. We , through all of the already named...

    Rifle Barrell?

    I have used them all. Depending on WHO is doing the work, every gunsmith has his preferences, contour, availability, quality, material. MY PERSONAL CHOICE...Douglas, Shilen, Hart. In that order, based upon everything in the mix.
