    SCI Record Book- The World Hunting Awards, Continental, & Milestones.

    I think the record books are a great way to honor the animals. I also think the record books serve as a good historical record. I find the awards to be an interesting pursuit if one is inclined to engage in these pursuits whether they enter these or not.

    DSC 2025 in Atlanta....are you going?

    I don’t plan on going to any shows in 2025. I won’t rule out Atlanta in the years after. The Blood Origins podcast has good interview with Cory Mason the CEO of DSC and it provides great insights on the move to Atlanta and, why DSC does some of the things they do. It’s a good listen.

    HS Precision 2000 LA Takedown 300 H&H & 375 H&H

    What do you mean by not technically control round feed? Does the bolt have a claw extractor? I have always liked the design of HS precision rifles. I just have not really ever looked at them close up.

    Swarovski EL v. NL

    Yes, I will use them for hunting. I currently have a Leica CRF 1000 that I have been quite happy with for years. It is very light and, I hardly ever notice I'm carrying it. I have a hard time justifying an extra $2k to put the rangefinder in the binos. but, I have thought about it quite a bit...

    Swarovski EL v. NL

    One rifle, two scopes

    The one scope and 300 gr. TSX is the setup I’m vested in. The bullet and scope combinations are the author’s suggestions. After reading the book it seems the author seems to prefer the heavy for caliber bullets in almost all cases. He claims the 350 gr. Expands to greater diameter than the 300...

    Can anyone enlighten me on this subspecies? I can‘t seem to find any information on them. The only information I have found is that SCI includes them with the Southern Impala. If anyone has pictures that would be awesome as well.

    Hello from Texas

    Thanks Chas. I missed Dallas this year. Took the family to Disney during that time. I did go to Nashville for my first SCI convention. I was a little under the weather so I didn’t enjoy it as much as I should’ve. I do think I like Dallas a little better for the convenience.
