I suggest a bespoke 22 hornet double, regulated for the Peregrine Bushmaster bullets. Purely because I dream big, even with tiny targets. :D

Look up hotline munitions. They are the new importers, they should be able to get you set up.

Interesting take on his end.

Is there a good story to the hunt? Plus the south Texas heat and humidity are what make it fun (said sarcastically). What'd you shoot him with?

Thanks for the detailed info on Peregrine bullets. This is the kind of quality information I have been looking for. I have some .308 diameter bullets and have a strong urge to use them in my 404.

I have plenty. I'll shut up so we can continue the thread.

Fair enough, Just figured I'd ask.

You want to get rid of that brass you found?

That's a fine part of the country up there. I grew up visiting family in White Sulphur Springs. Come to think of it, I haven't gone to visit them in far too long!

It hurts not having the money for this action. Would be perfect to build a 300 H&H on. The only magnum 30 I want.

Dad?

Mind if I take you up on that offer?

Can you manipulate the bolt with the scope on? Seeing the barrel in a 1x scope isn't really a concern for me, it's just there.

Any word on when it will be available?

If I knew how I would pull the picture the Marine Corps posted on Instagram today showing a Marine shooting with the same optic set up correctly.

I tell you what, when I win the Powerball tonight I'll start up a firearm company making crf actions in all sizes. Doubles too.

I'll start by saying I'm not in the fan category of the 8.6 BLK. However, the reports of its successes on big animals include cape buffalo can't be disregarded. The extreme twist rates 1:3 create incredible RPM that are doing some amazing things on soft tissue. That being said, I'd much rather...

I've tried to drop a mortar on a coyote. If you don't hit within the kill radius with the first round they hit that top gear instantly and vacate the area at mach jesus.

This could be my favorite thread on here. I get all sorts of excited to recover a bullet.

Uhhhh...that's a PH in front of his trackers....if you have to ask, just go with this explanation. :ROFLMAO:

I'm a huge fan of both of Nyala and Kudu. Those are great animals you killed! That Eland, he's a dandy! Anyone else ever notice and think "Nyala are just Kudu that decided to grow hair instead of horns?"

I made that too! Kind of my personal take on a basic hunting knife. Influenced very heavily by the Doctari knife. That one has Texas Ebony scales with ebony bolsters and hidden pins.

Man this brought back a memory. A long time ago I came across a 300 Rook double rifle. I can't remember the maker and as a kid I couldn't afford to buy it. I sure wish I could see that gun again. I've always wanted one.

AS of 2012 the tradition lives on. Although not as brutal as your descriptions.

Thank you for the reply. That makes perfect sense. @Hunter-Habib I agree with goat being under appreciated here.

Is hunting these goats a challenge? I am asking from pure personal ignorance here, I have never hunted them or been on a place that had them. I have seen videos where they might as well have been in a petting zoo. What is the allure to hunting them, just something different? Specifically asking...

Ohhhhh. My bad, I didn't catch that part. I generally put them 1/4 down the barrel or so. Similar to where they would be placed on a 1/4 rib.

Lashkar Gar was north of us. Battalion AO started at New Dehli and went down to Safar Bazaar. I called Hasanabad home.

I feel you there. We were way down south in Helmand Province. The closest thing to a treat we got was the Pebsi and pine lights from the store en route to one of our OP's. Other than that it was MRE's and local cuisine. I did turn down the carp one of the ABP killed with a rock for dinner though.

I love goat. I ate so much of it in Afghanistan the local village elder asked if I was Afghan.

I might have to put a bullet to the ear hole this weekend because of all the snacks shown here.

I've only really seen the bang flop when hitting the brachial plexus in critters. That is the high shoulder shot. I have also found taking off the top of the heart where all the veins and arteries connect to the heart is mush quicker than center punching the heart, but I can't do that on purpose...

It's not overkill. It's perfect. I've had them stop my very similar set up. Normally though that will zip right through them. Their vitals are low. I say that prematurely assuming you don't know that, forgive me if I am overstepping.

Which one are you asking about? Forgive me for not following, The hamster up stairs looks to have taken the day off.

I like this thread. Here is a belt slide I made for my 404.

NECG has the formula on their websight.

Well this stupid lamest thread about the stupidest lamest company didn't stop me from putting my name on the list for a Rolex Explorer this weekend. Buncha enablers...

I wish I had more time and space to shoot my 404. It sure is fun to put a rock or two in an empty shotgun shell box and chuck it out there and put holes through it. I get plenty of dry fire and bolt manipulation practice. Dry fire can only take you so far when it comes to fast follow up practice...

In my mind his wife is reading this thread to him while he recovers and he gives a smile knowing a world of people (some who know nothing of him other than this forum) are praying and pulling for him. Here in a few days or weeks he'll chime in and we'll all rejoice and gain more insight from his...

It looks like you dropped that cartridge on him and smashed it to death. Proper fox gun!

How much do yall shoot your big bores a year? I've only shot 404 Jeffery around 120 times. If they'd let me take it on deployment I could've added to that number substantially :ROFLMAO: . I don't have a safari on the books just yet but I do love shooting the thing. I feel I am pretty proficient...

It is a blast! You'll have fun. Unfortunately I'll be out of town that weekend. Bring a handkerchief to keep the drool wiped off your face while looking at all the fantastic guns.

Factory guns don't get me excited. Personally I'm head over heels for custom guns. There isn't much more I love than dragging my the mesquite after. Her name is Larue and she was shiny and spotless when I took delivery. The rifle is still in emaculate shape except if you know were to look. I do...

9.3 and 416 any day of the week!

Just remember folks, you can't kill something too dead. Get those thunder boomers out and have fun with them!

You might try Michael Ullman he is an ACGG gunsmith. He might not do repair work like that though. https://www.ullmanprecision.com/

I once asked my dad what distance his 22 was sighted in for. His response "It's sighted in for some distance, just shoot the damn thing" But he can cut the stems off flowers just about every shot with it so i don't mess with it. That little gun is ridiculously accurate.

It breaks my heart that you have to sell your rifles to pay for treatment. But, at the end they are only things and someone else will get some miles out of the. I said a prayer for you and your family, Hang in there!

I'll ask. What is the book? I too love doubles.

"All carcasses were burned". I'm just going to throw in my two cents and opinion here. 1) Pics or it didn't happen. 2) I feel like whoever found the carcasses probably found them a while after they were dead. Lots of old carcasses look pretty rough after weeks of savaging and baking in the sun...
