The Gatorade in Africa tastes really good at the end of a long day. The flavors and sweeteners are completely different, and not as syrupy as it is here.

For Ele, I'd like to see you take the 470.

That wood is unique. Most are light with dark streaks, but this is dark chocolate brown with beautiful golden streaks. That type of grain and figure would make plenty of high grade shotguns jealous. Congratulations to the buyer, you got a good one.

I just finished a transaction with Krish and hopefully it won't be my last. He has always been a gentleman and a wealth of information. My first purchase from him we talked several hours on the phone about Big Bore rifles, reloading, etc. He was a huge help in finding brass, dies, reload data...

Another one from the good idea fairy. :mad: https://www.twz.com/land/m240-medium-machine-gun-successor-now-being-sought-by-u-s-army

I have so many hunting photos from over the years, a photo album is the only practical way to save them all. I received several of these wood photo albums years ago, and have grown to prefer them. Some might consider them old fashioned or even cheesy, but they are a practical way to store and...

In your opinion, is there any difference in the power needed to hunt the Asiatic vs the African Buffalo?

Even though I have large heavy cases for transit, my guns usually have a silicone impregnated gun sock around them to keep the small handling marks off the wood. This is especially important when 2 guns are in one case. Yes, it can be a pain when you have to uncase for the inspection and serial...

I talked to Dorge Huang at Firenock about his Dragonslayer shafts and what it takes to hunt the really big ones with archery tackle. Although most of his gear is designed for crossbows, the principles are the same as compound and longbows. Lots of people have done Cape Buffalo with his gear, but...

Don't know much about the rifle, but if it'll help you out, I'll give you 50 bucks for it! :D

Love the show and love your products. Hope you and Andy keep things going as you are a great pair

I agree, and I believe it to be caused by the side to side torque that I described. If we had large numbers of high pressure O/U guns, say .375 H&H on up, we would see as many problems with those, but it would take place in different areas of the locking system and receiver. It is difficult to...

Although I love Africa, there are other places and other hunts that fill the horizon of my dreams. Stags and Chamois in Romania. Driven Boar in Austria. Markhor in Asia. Doves and Blackbuck in Argentina. Most of all, I will never, ever tire of hunting Pronghorn in the western United...

While I don't disagree with the history of African hunting and it's effects on firearms development that others have posted above, there are mechanical design factors that also influenced things. Both SXS and O/U design's use a standing breech, and a hinged barrel that is held in its closed...

Dang that's a good looking piece of walnut. What have you decided on for a checkering pattern?
