'grats on a nice bull.....love the foto and the setting. Well done.......FWB

Nice looking rifle in a very desirable caliber. Always tough for new members to sell an expensive item right off, but you have done a nice job of presenting it..............GLWS..............FWB

@biggergun Ya, that match is June 15 this year. I always planned to go, but then life got in the way. I see that some use model 86's and some Rollingblocks, quite a few use Win Hi and Lows.....but the match was really started for the Sharps Model 74. In fact, the term sharpshooter, and the...

What a great offer! That buff in the foto would make an awesome shoulder mount. Thanks for posting.....FWB

Hey, @Green Chile These would make a great down payment on the Sharps 45-90........can't have too many buffalo guns............regards.............Bill

Dang, that looks like a big, heavy cat..........well done!............FWB

I expected a bit of turmoil when Apartheid ended in June of 1991, but was very optimistic. At the first multiracial elections in 94 I thought the country was on a path toward unlimited prosperity. Hope was high. Now, 30 years on, I fear for my friends in RSA. At election time the gravy train...

Thanks @cajunchefray you did me a solid............FWB

@jeff Ya, don't see too many boxes of 45-90 at the local gunshop. I'll throw in a new 3 die set of RCBS for reloading to the buyer........Bill

Well, the ring side seat to the World of Politics may get closer and warmer than we want......FWB

I believe that most Americans are easily swayed by the MNM. They tell us who to hate, and we obligingly follow suit. ABC and CNN will be effective in using President Trump's conviction to Biden's benefit. The Biden Crime Family are proven liars.....but the media helps keeps them at the public...

Enjoying your report, Paul......and love the mass on that eland bull........wow. I also had the pleasure of using that vintage 375 and was pleased that it had no lawn tractor muffler welded to the front of it to spoil the ambience......your fotos make me want to return, and it may yet...

@DIVAN SAFARIS very nice offer. Is that 5 hunting days and two travel days? Enjoyed the photos....thanks............FWB

Saw this earlier.....photo of a beautiful young couple.......so sad. How could any human sink so low as to murder two young helpers coming out of a church? .....FWB

Very nice impala........FWB

Great one........................'grats............FWB

@Tintin I see that you have been at this for awhile.........and since your original post I have kept my eyes open .....in actual fact, most people are unaware of this cartridge....confusing it with the 350 Rigby Magnum. I have had a few discussions about this with otherwise knowledgeable...

@Hunter-Habib as I look at photos of you with a tiger, or The Queen, somehow "average" does not seem to apply.............Bill

@Dirtdart I have one of these on my 416. I considered upgrading to a Swaro or Z, but after comparing I liked the Nikon just as well, so it is still there.........FWB

@PerH You are indeed fortunate to have both the book and the forward from @Hunter-Habib. He is certainly a man who's history and ethics warrant a biography......hope to be able to get one some day. And @SETH RINGER "grats for tackling the import of said book.........FWB

Nice bear, nice rifle.....'grat.....................FW Bill

@Trogon That was very useful info. Thanks for posting the field dressed weights. The places that I called are far south in Texas, and am hoping to find something a little further north. Maybe Feb is the right time, based on temps............FWB

Unlike some cheaper Stainless rifles, the Sako 75 is all stainless, even the trigger mechanism. These make the perfect traveler rifle for Asia, Alaska or NZ.....won't rust up on you, and in 06 you can always find ammo if you need to. I use this model for trips to the wet areas of the...

I'm a little more of a sceptic since I bought that Markhor hunt from a Nigerian prince......but I say go for it............FWB

@SFRanger7GP Never having taken a Nilgai I am having some difficulty fully appreciating their toughness. Or so I'm being told. I use a .62 traditional rifle shooting hand cast balls of half pure lead and half wheel weight. I have taken 40 elk, deer and pronghorn (total) with this load, and it...

@Rando8586 ....the serial no is B3733 FWB

Must be tough to buy gloves for that man. ...........FWB

That is a super offer, Divan. I love the look of the country in the background of those fine trophies.....thanks for posting.......FWB

@SFRanger7GP No, but I am calling King today and have made two calls already. Have a friend that may hunt, with a 300UM, but when everyone finds out that I want to hunt with a muzzleloader they threaten me and hang up (not really).....still open to suggestions.......if you have any........FWB

@Lance Hopper I think putting your needs up front is wise. FWIW, I would have bought both of these hunts if I hadn't had knee surgery last week. I second @Rare Breed endorsement. Although I have not been to this particular camp, have hunted with both men, and they are first rate...............FWB

@Rando8586 Idaho............FWB

It has the half round bbl instead of the bull bbl, so is a bit lighter than some.....FWB

It weighs 10.4 pounds.............FWB

@ActionBob I'm with Gina on this one.....the old iron wheelers are the classics. Had a 47 Mod D and a 34 Mod D also, but now down to just the 1929.......Bill

Dang, @ActionBob you certainly know your tractors......I have a 1929 John Deere Mod D with a 350 cu in twin popper in it......but never knew JD made a two stroke.......a corn popper motor. ........FW Bill

America has become a country where small, minority groups are catered to. Often to the exclusion of the majority and in the face of common sense............always be vigilant where the crazies are concerned. ..........FWB

@matt85 Thanks for info.........FWB

Ya, @CoElkHunter 30 years for Utah, I alternated between Henry;s Mtns and Book Cliffs. Never had the money for Antelope Isl. @JimP No worries, I think a Mod 71 in 348 has enough history to make a great bison rifle. The cost of hunts in the Continental US. in either $ or preference points has...

I bought this rifle hoping to hunt wild bison one day. Received the draw results from Utah yesterday. 30 tries is enough. Now, hoping to generate a little money and hunt a different buffalo in Africa. Maybe I can draw THAT tag.....Somebody please buy this rifle, shoot a bison, and send me a...

I ordered this rifle from Big Timber 30 years ago, and took possession 28 years ago. It is unfired. In the very desirable 45-2 4/10 chambering. Spirit level front sight for use with interchangeable inserts. The rear sight is the finest ever made for a Shiloh, and is no longer available...

@FallowJaeger Your problem, as you have already surmised, is that you will have too many good choices. Follow your instincts......a smaller operation, where your PH is an owner, is my recommendation for your first hunt. Every operator has strengths......when you have winnowed it down to just a...

@Hunter-Habib Excellent info, thanks for posting. It brought back many memories of both BSA rifles and motorcycles. The bikes were less revered by us...."Bastard Stopped Again" was a common moniker. But the rifles were a cut above the usual junk that us kids hunted with. I think, from your prior...

Sadly, it's Burkina Faso military that is blamed for executing the 56 children. US funded military. When American tax dollars floods these poor countries, competition for wealth leads to waring of factions and chaos. Hunting is a collateral casualty. .........FWB

AMERICA WILL FIX IT Before 2009, US aid to Burkina Faso (BF) was nil.....about $200,000 per year. This could not go on. "though the Country was home to no specific terrorist threats during this time, and certainly none to the US, the US Govt began supplying a significant influx of funding...

@Rafiki Looks like an awesome project. The best reason to do this is simply because you want to. And having taken a No. 1 to Africa several times (I currently keep one there) this is very interesting to me. I could never find a rifle chambered in the 50-140-700 and wondered if it was simply an...

Beautiful rifles for sure. Is it too much to ask American bolt rifle manufacturers to learn to make these straight bolts, instead of those swept back knuckle busters...at least on the big bores? Ya, it is....FWB

@CoElkHunter I agree, $47 is an odd number.........FWB

FOREIGN AFFAIRS ran a hit piece on President Trump today, entitled "NATO cannot exist without America". The scare tactic hate rant told us what Trump thinks, how he thinks and even his "instincts". Another add on to the Stormy Daniels persecution. Anyway, it could have more correctly been...

@Red Leg I don't believe Russia has imperial aspirations.....that is another propaganda message from "The Blob" as Pres Obama called it. I don't think they even want all of Ukraine. And yes, Ukraine alone has the right to decide what they will do. As did Cuba in 1962. But we intervened. We had...

@Red Leg "I assume you are uninterested?".........what a curious and accusatory thing to say. Did you actually read the article I referenced? Learning politics during the unipolar period-1991 to 2017, when the US was the only major power in the World leads some to believe there has been no...
