All items are SPF. And boy did I need to spell check this post for auto correct..."braider paranoid slings"... :ROFLMAO:

Few things lying around that came from previous places of employment that need to go. 2 Heavy Hauler braider paranoid slings. Both new, one still in packaging one not. With swivels, 42" length, brown & tan colored. $25 shipped each Carvel Hall reproduction Bowie collectors item on...

Let's go $330 shipped!

What a bruiser! I'm going back for Hippo and Croc with Wayne in '25 but can't wait to go for Mr. Spots!

Upland Gun Company has them. Pretty much al la cart options. Been eyeing them for a bit: https://uplandguncompany.com/product/zeus-case-harden-single-trigger/

Rifle came in on trade and I disassembled it as barrel was not original nor was the stock. Long action, originally chambered in 30-06 and retains same bolt face. Guessing 1965-67 based on 6 digit serial number 3XXXXX. Early style saftey with bolt lock. Early trigger (non 40X with adjustment...

@Angelo_orygun , one in your arena. Hopefully Angelo is around and can chime in. Thermal is quite literally his world.

Backing up @WAB . For the scope to separate, the front ring may have had an issue being the rear seats in the notch on a CZ integral mount. Scopes can always have failures, but that failure while mounted is extremely odd. That said, Leupold will make it right.

Need to get to Limpopo and hunt as soon as your up and around...."Limb-No-Mo Mike" kinda fits. Truly, get thru rehab and live your life man. I'm sure theres a line of family and friends who count their blessings daily your still with then. We're rooting for you.

I ordered one in on an industry program. Cycled the bolt twice and sold it for what I paid semi immediately. I'd take a turn bolt over the Impulse any day. However, still waiting for the right R8.

Another vote for Axil. Hearing "don't shoot" is equally as important as "shoot". These are a worth while investment.

My 460 is sub 11 lbs scoped and unloaded and with mo brake I handle it well. I've written here numerous times echoing Pierre that the brake is what gave the 460 a bad name. If you can wield the 460, it's is a truly a magnificent and versatile beast. Nothing you don't already know. I shot...

Very exciting! What block and which PH will you be with?

Do keep in mind your regulation needs as not all factory ammo will work. If you load, even better. Or, you can have the rifle re-regulated to a load if your choice. But to beat the dead horse "deader"...no softs for the Ele.

Just tagging in to see how the hunt is coming along!

No less than $1800, but $2250-$2500 is fair asking price to start.

Definitely not a "parts" gun, but assembled at the arsenal from parts from various production runs. Type 2 slide markings. Notice how the run the full length of the slide stop Type 3 above, notice how it stops before the end of the slide stop Type 2 slides stopped after 1,015,000. Type...

I hunted the Save Valley in mid August and thought it was about perfect. Cool nights and comfortable days that did not get too warm.

I think you're right with a armory parts gun. The slide looks like the type 2, but frame is a type 3 serial #.

Looks like a type 2 slide

My eyes go right to that brass spacer. I know many may not like it...but what a unique feature on an incredible rifle. I love it.

At what point will we call these professional agitators spreading these leaflets let alone ideas as what they truly are: Terrorists. And when will we deal with and treat them as terrorists? The WH statement was weak and pandered to the progressive wing as expected...

One more vite for Trader Keith's sling. Worked extremely well for me and the 10.5lb rifle never bothered me on my long stalks as it simply stayed put. Mount on my A2 below:

My 460 Wby worked extremely well. I've written recently that I would opt for a red dot over a magnified optics now after my Cow hunt. Load wise, I am planning to work with the CEB solids for my next Ele encounter.

Had one charge as well. Cow, charged on us unprovoked and stalked us in and out of the bush for over 1km.

Sorry for the loss of your Pop, Toby. I know you cherish those moments and memories and will keep his spirit alive within you.

Had a villiager killed by elephant when I was there last August. Truly still a wild place. Hope Guy gets well soon.

What an experience to have with a bull Ele! Congrats!

Looks like it was an incredible hunt with amazing animals taken. Congratulations!

Coming soon though, right?

Both Limpopo:

I've had 2 failure to feeds out of an R8. Both at Media Day at SHOT shows. This is of course hundreds if not thousands of rounds fired with no maintenance. That said, I've had FTE on 700s, FTF on mausers. If it's mechanical, things happen. All that said, I'm still looking for the right R8...

Welcome! Spend some time reading the articles here, hunt reports, and ask questions. A wealth of knowledge on this site to help you prepare. Truly a magical feeling preparing for your first African hunt.

Check out Parkwest SD-76

By field grade, do you still mean Rigby built? There are smith's whom can turn a Ruger RSM 416 Rigby into a take down and various Mauser style actions.

It's been mentioned in various threads, but there used to be a sense of decorum on AH that seems to he dissipating. Even if emotions are high, there is no need to insult another member. The passive aggressive posts are already overwhelming. Discussion can stay healthy and not dissolve to chaos.

It's a no win for Biden. Either path suffers loss only an incumbent can incur. A challenger doesn't need to make the call that will face the backlash. Biden caves to the far left and potentially retains some of the Muslim defection vote and loses some of the jewish/Israeli vote....or...Biden...

DeSantis was the most politically intelligent candidate we had. He systematically reformed Florida law to allow his bid while retaining governorship as he knew it was a 'chance'. He did not execute attacks like most of the other candidates, but did exercise 'swings' when needed. He also...

Fantastic! What camp did you hunt out of?

Best of luck!!

My 460 Wby. has a Leupold 2x in the forward position. While I like the benefits of the 2X and the forward mounting, I found that a red dot would be more optimal for me with this DG rifle most of the time. I'm having a machine shop mill and install a rail section to mount a SRO on it now between...

I would argue that your customers are making enough profit margin to where it is inconsequential or 10% has no impact on their bottom line. Possibly government contracts? The FX over the years swings more than 10% routinely. Any purchaser negotiates based on FX beyond a contract agreed...

I purchase quite a bit from Taiwan. Raw costs from China have risen to my Taiwanese facilities to between 20-40%. Thus causing me to resource. A long, but methodical economic warfare tactic by China. Forcing Taiwanese owners to sell, relocate, etc. Possibly also why the US has begun moving...

Bidens policies on semi conductors is a ban on sales to China it is trying to enforce. It in effect has forced its strategy with Taiwan to hasten. China only has to starve Taiwan enough of raw materials to accomplish this, which it is doing. This has very little impact as China is still...

Biden kept Trump era tariff policies. Some have been modified, but the additional section duties were imposed under the Trump administration. Biden of course would not walk away from the Billions it generates. I think the currency manipulator status you are referring to was one that was given...

Possibly, but I much prefer his platform and past achievments over our current situation. By my metrics (meaning how I judge my families quality of life) a change is desperately needed from the current situation. Hands down Biden is the worst President of my lifetime. Trump was not the best...

How was Trump weak with China? He enacted the harshest Tariffs on Chinese Imports I've seen in my lifetime. As someone who works in global sourcing and owns companies in this field, I can say that I moved sourcing for over 50M in Imports out of China. Some of which back to the US. Honest...

Ben Shapiro said it best and why I posted his writings a few days back. The first 3 years under Trump were more prosperous and if not for Covid or the George Floyd riots, likely all 4 years. These 3+ years under Biden are one debacle after another. I would have voted for DeSantis in the...

This past August in the Save we had an large Cow Ele with what looked like a dependent young calf charge at our truck from her herd while we passed a water hole. We took off 150-200 yards, slowed to look back and she was still charging. We took off again 150-200 yards to see her veer off into...

I've used them twice out of Chicago/Elk Grove Villiage, IL. Have a third that will go thru them this year as well.
