    New American Hunting Rifles (AHR) .416 Rigby $5,500

    Hmmm… I have a good friend in Austin and a brother-in-law there as well. I was just down there in February. Let me think about this. I might make you an offer.

    Current state of Dangerous Game optics?

    I shoot my Lott a bunch and agree with @michael458 on scopes. I have two Leupold scopes that I have to alternate between. When one breaks, I send it for repairs and use the other. I haven’t been able to find a Nikon other than a 3x-9 that’s on my 30-06. Swarovski scopes also don’t hold up on...

    The open border globalists in the Biden administration are following Europe’s lead. Just look at what’s occurring on the college campuses right now. Even US cities have changed dramatically in demographics in my lifetime. Globalists are trying to erase white Judeo-Christian societies.

    Ron Spomer and Phil Shoemaker

    Phil is a good man. Hunts are running $35k - $40k right now. Many Registered Guides are struggling with the radical decisions made in the latest 10-year prospectus concession reassignment on USFWS lands on the Alaskan Peninsula and on Kodiak made by an out-going manager that is now...

    “Safari” vs Hunting Trip?

    To me, a safari is a trip to hunt in wild areas in Africa and in areas where it is possible to fly camp, if needed. Photo safaris are not true safaris. In the old days, safaris were for hunting in wild areas, not photography.

    Ha ha well I can assure you that other than my experience in the CAR, my other experiences are fairly commonplace among guides and PHs so I don’t think they would be worried about hunting with me. I have heard many a hair-raising story from PHs and other guides. Being a guide or a PH in wild...

    Do the 577 and 600 nitro really offer anything?

    Mike Fell sometimes carries a .577 double rifle. He put down a wounded charging buffalo with it a couple years ago. He waited until the buffalo was very close so he couldn’t miss and killed it but the momentum of the buffalo carried into him and the horn tip penetrated his thigh, just missing...

    One rifle for North American big game?

    The 338 WM with 225 grain bullets has about the same trajectory as the 30-06 with 165/180 grain bullets but more power for elk, moose and brown bear. It’s a bit much for pronghorn but I have used it and stayed away from the shoulder for meat reasons.
