Thank you @TheDoubleD for taking time to write a good explanation of the interaction of SAAMI chamber specs, chamber casts, chamber reamer variances, and cartridge size. Stacking of tolerances is an important factor. I had a reloading failure experience with a sporterized 30-06 Czech VZ-24...

Cabela’s Bison leather bi-fold wallet. Hold up 10 years in high 90 degree humid temperatures.

Very interesting. My Dad was from French and German immigrants. His paternal grandmother was what we call a “treatur” in Cajun French. The phase of the moon was a big deal for these rural Cajuns. He never had a hair cut on the New Moon, thinking it makes your hair grow faster. Moon phases...

Another vote for the 375 Holland and Holland in a 77 African. Ruger would have to modify that action, opened up like Winchester did in the 1930s for their Model 70. Dave Scovill, editor of Rifle and Handloader had one built on a 77 Mk II action. Opened up, ejector moved back, new magazine box...

@Bandera, I like your style. I would add a .500 NE with a D weight 26" barrel, fixed shallow V rear. Weight at 10.5 pounds. I'm sure some would want a threaded barrel, I don't I'd probably Magnaport it.

Very interesting. Do you use the Woodleigh 400 spitzer / soft point bullets? These are very accurate in my Interarms Whitworth.458 WM with a mid level charge of Varget. Easy target they work well on hogs.

Agreed. When we moved into my grandfather’s house, at 13 years old, my Dad, and grandfather kept watch over me, with the kerosene hurricane lamps, the gas burner stoves for scalding the chickens we butchered with machetes, batteries, toxic pesticides, diesel, tractors and implements, the simple...

Now we’re talking!

Curious on the resolution of this. I have a few older Leupold's, VX-2, VX-1 and a couple of FX-2s. Recently got a VX-3HD 1.5x5x, Firedot with the CDS dial system. I never fooled with the CDS dial no need for me, I only purchased it for the small size and Fire Dot reticle. After 30 rounds on my...

“ I can see my dad doing that same kinda operation “, made me really smile @AZDAVE . Thanks for that insight and again thinking about my Dad. Farmer engineering is not to be underestimated, but I wouldn’t try it once traveling with ammunition in a foreign country.

@Dirtdart , this is a superb scope. The illuminated 4C reticle in this scope is proper. I have handled and mounted one on a rifle locally (Sport Optics, Hammond Louisiana, a large wholesaler of premium optics nationwide) that is only 6 miles from me. These originally retailed for around...

There is something I just like about your story of the.577 and a mean old buffalo .

Josh's shows are entertaining if you overlook some details. I wonder if Man Eating Lions are a problem in Kenya again. Maybe from the screwed up ecological balance, I don't know. I wonder if besides the knife, he has a 375 H&H in his kit?

Oil production and export, is a viable target, make them feel the hurt. The mullahs (and ayatollahs) have orchestrated strikes in Lebanon in 1983 with the attack on the Marine Barracks that killed 241 Marines. Then attacks on the US Embassy and the embassy annex. In my work in Beirut, I walked...

It is Ceracoated in dark gray... sorry, no camo paint or suppressors. Thankfully, no camo or a suppressor, a hunting rifle. Please share accuracy tests.
