I am SO thankful for the expertise/experiences shared here on AH! For the benefit of new members, or heads up for veterans, what were your favorite or most informative threads for year 2025?
Mine included a thread on 'Rifle Lessons learned from the Zimbabwe Professional Hunter Proficiency Exam" by Don Heath in Zimbabwe. Man, what an eye opener on rifle function during time trials.
One current thread I absolutely love is about Purdy's Secret Gun Stock Finishing. That has really challenged me to up my game.

Im sitting quietly in the corner taking on this one taking notes…
 
My favorite threads tend to involve single-shot falling-blocks (e.g Allure of the Ruger No1, Single Shot Saturday, etc.), anything about a 303 British, 9.3x74r or 405 Win (since I like rimmed cartridges in my falling blocks & these are some of my favorite rounds) & anytime a discussion breaks out about gin or cooking I'm probably going to weigh in.

Other than that, I would have to say living vicariously through other hunters by reading their field reports always provides an enjoyable insight into the adventures of others. A lot of the members of these forums know more than me about large-bore rifles & reloading so that's always a good read too.

It's nice to open one of my safes & have a choice of a falling block, or a falling block or a falling block...
 
My favorite threads? All those I started I guess. Excuse me while I talk to the contactor who just showed up to install double door to my home. I needed something bigger to get my head in the house. :D

Gees ... going back a whole year ... I guess my favorite would be the humor thread. Always check that one daily. Oh ... and the obsolete-but-still-used thread. That was a good one. The gunsmithing threads always catch my eye. I'm a fix-it kinda guy.
 
Don't have a top three but my favorites are the varying worldwide hunt reports, especially ones posted by first time Africa hunters.
 
This thread is a great idea. (y)

I’d say my favourite is any thread started by @PaulB !

My hunt report from first safari with a double and with Dalton & York was hands down my favorite thread to make, but have read countless others from so many of our forum brethren, entertaining, insightful, inspirational, some just just create more lust for a hunt or fine firearm, but no way I could pare it down to just top three. So many great ones and can only hope they keep on coming.

Hello,

I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?

Thank you.

Hello, I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any other left hand rifles you may let go of? Also can you send a few additional pics of Borden rifle?

Thank you.
