No more true than the "invisible chair" story or any of the other right wing lies about the ceremony.

It appears I will need to buy the cheapest apple device I can that will work with air tags. I've no use for apple devices, never have used them, never will. Not fond of microspurt either.

As I understand one has to have an Apple device to work with the air tags. Is there an Android equivalent?

Welcome from another old swamp rat that went to the mountains. Might as well start saving...lol.

All good information for someone like me who is new and still learning. I've still a long wait until Sept. '25 and still a lot to learn about getting to S.A. Thinking seriously of taking an airline like Qatar or Emirates even if it takes longer just for for the comfort for the price difference...

Welcome, I grew up on the Texas side of Louisiana, Orange. Been long gone from there but the days of the Big Oaks Club will always be in my mind.

Admittedly my guiding and hunting times were many, many moons ago before we had access to the bullets we do now. I hunted in terrain that could produce shots from anywhere from 50 to 500 meters. I never liked it if a client showed up with less than 30-06. Longer shots demand a flat shooting...

I'll not forget why you died my friend, my "brother". You are in my heart forever. Semper Fi.

A great documentary, one that I was vaguely aware of before. My ex father in law flew B-17's over Germany in WWII. He was Jewish and I used to tease him about getting shot down, "Fred, what would you do on the way down?" "Throw my dog tags away", "Hell, with that nose it would do no good". A...

Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery.

I write this from a VA hospital bed where I am recovering from a throat cancer operation. I won't be able to talk, making some folks happy...lol. But it is my leg that is the problem. Skin was taken to rebuild part of my throat and that included a nerve. It will improve but at present I can't...

Actually 2 new aspects. Why was there only one gun, if indeed that was the case. The client was disabled to a degree the PH doesn't want him/her along on the finish with a wounded buffalo. We don't know for sure there was only one gun. We do know the client was disabled. That hits home. I'm...

Next year will be my first trip to Africa and first to hunt Buffalo. My PH says Barnes TSX or Swift A-Frames for my 416 Rigby. I'll still have solids that I hope to not have to use. Years of guiding in the mountains of N. New Mexico for elk, mule deer and occasional bear or lion I learned what...

Anything in 416 Rigby?

One of the reasons ex #2 liked AC/DC...lol. She would also tell you when she hunted she wasn't looking for horns, she was looking for balls. She became weird, I became gone...lol.

Great report and a great trip. I'm looking forward to hunting with Game 4 next Sept.

Menudo, a hangover breakfast. I lived in Northern New Mexico for some 20+ years, never had, never plan on having. Ah now Boudin and raw oysters along with mud bugs, mon cher that be one good eat. Yea I lived down there in the Cajun part of TX before moving to NM. My first ex. was Cajun and...

I used a 300 WM for years, beat hell out of that Rem. 700 BDL and the Leupold scope in saddle scabbard, truck, and just walking the mountains. I hit on the right load early and it never failed to to at worst cut 3 bullet holes touching at 100 with one often barely traceable. That rifle accounted...

I acquired a BSA in 308 from a Navaho friend in the early 70's. Yes that extremely loud muzzle brake. Very light and one could shoot one handed, if not expecting to hit anything...lol. Invariably what was a nice group would suddenly start to walk. Whatever collector value, if any, was ruined by...

Yep!

When I go next Sept. it will be the same thing I've always worn, a beat up cowboy hat. Minus the shiny USMC globe & anchor pin while in the field.

Speedy recovery and thanks to a couple of brave trackers.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

I wore them for years. Even had insulated cowboy boots for the long winter in northern New Mexico. Nothing keeps feet warm when riding in below freezing weather (a little hot choc. with Baileys helps). I don't wear much now as it's just too hot in Thailand except for our 2 week "winter". My...

@Ontario Hunter, yes I have. My gunsmith in New Mexico had one he built, a good push but not a sharp "jab" like I had with my 300 WM that I put quite a few rounds through off the bench and at critters. This will be my first to Africa but not my first rodeo with guns. I've plenty of time, I hope...

Thanks for the vid. I'm hunting buffalo with Wik next Sept. Kudu and Impala also but buffalo is my goal. I'm looking forward to it and hope I've gotten in good enough shape by then.

I'm a new guy and this will be my first and unfortunately probably only trip. My main objective is Cape Buffalo. As of now the 416 Rigby that is being built on a CZ 550 action is the only rifle I will carry. I do have a couple of plains animals in the hunt, Kudu and Impala. Now to you guys this...

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no...

Hah, no shirt in Thailand probably should pertain to all farangs, in or out of vehicles. Sitting in one of the well known hotel/bars on Soi Sleaze, Soi 6 watching "Pattaya man cometh". Farangs with no shirts, flab flopping about come down the soi and they were not even "assaulted" by the ladies...

Having sold all my pistols and rifles when I moved to Thailand, no guns allowed (disregard the daily shootings), I have no "2nd rifle" to carry. If, big if, my son in the states has held on to the BSA .308 and the custom ammo for it I may consider bringing it. The chamber is longer than...

I believe about every reason has been at least mentioned already. Like so many issues there are more than one or two reasons. The anti's want to take our guns and that includes hunting. They do not realize or I guess care that hunting is the only reason there is anything to hunt or for them...

I will, health permitting, be going for Cape Buffalo, Kudu and Impala, in the fall of 25. The buff is what I am really going for. I have a small house, 3 "bedrooms" but I don't think any mount would be appropriate in the bedroom, well maybe...lol. Cost and room have me debating with myself...

Welcome from an expat Texan, living in Thailand for 14 years now. Sounds like you and your family will have a great time.

USMC SGT-Vietnam 66-67 Semper Fi! Never forget.

I had a Leupold on my 300 Win. Mag. The only time it was ever off was when a "somebody" dropped the rifle/scope directly on the door frame of my 4X4. It went everywhere, horseback included, never had a problem in years of guiding and hunting on my own in the mountains and sagebrush flats of...

Business I hadn't flown except domestic and to Cambodia and Bali in14 years until I had to return to the states late last year, still here. Flew ANA business and as long as I can find the money I'll fly business unless it is just a couple hours flt. Tremendous difference over a long flt.

I'll take the solid round nose

Fishing, drag racing, I've got a '22 Stang GT waiting for me to return and finish breaking it in. They don't sell Chevys anymore where I live. My time in the states will be relatively short, I live in Thailand, nothing to hunt and guns are illegal (never mind the shootings every day) other wise...

If it hasn't sold by next week I might be interested. Stock would have to be changed along with some other items. I'm already having a 416 Rigby built so money is a tad bit tight.

If you have 416 Rigby left, I'll take 5. Just give me the amount and I'll pay. WB

I'm interested. Maybe more so in the used as I want to have some work done on one and restocked. Would it be too much trouble to send some pics of both. Btw, [redacted].

Put me down for 2 boxes each of Barnes 416 Rigby TSX & Round Nose Banded Solids. Wayne

Do you still have that CZ?

How much for the 416 Rigby action? Is it complete?

Thanks, will keep you in mind for sure, probably looking at 2026 but kinda' hoping for next year.

Thanks, I'll keep you in mind, please keep me in mind. Changing stocks isn't too big a deal. I used to do a little gunsmithing on my on, nothing like my gunsmith who was trained in the "old way". My go to rifle was Rem. 700, 300 Mag., restocked, barrel floated, action bedded. Nothing but clover...

Looking for a CZ 550 in 416 Rigby. Not one of the expensive custom jobs. This will be for a "bucket list" one time trip to Africa. I'm currently in Minneapolis VA hospital recovering from Agent Orange throat cancer. When my strength returns I'll make my one time trip for Cape Buffalo. The Rigby...
