Very nice impala........FWB

Great one........................'grats............FWB

@Tintin I see that you have been at this for awhile.........and since your original post I have kept my eyes open .....in actual fact, most people are unaware of this cartridge....confusing it with the 350 Rigby Magnum. I have had a few discussions about this with otherwise knowledgeable...

@Hunter-Habib as I look at photos of you with a tiger, or The Queen, somehow "average" does not seem to apply.............Bill

@Dirtdart I have one of these on my 416. I considered upgrading to a Swaro or Z, but after comparing I liked the Nikon just as well, so it is still there.........FWB

@PerH You are indeed fortunate to have both the book and the forward from @Hunter-Habib. He is certainly a man who's history and ethics warrant a biography......hope to be able to get one some day. And @SETH RINGER "grats for tackling the import of said book.........FWB

Nice bear, nice rifle.....'grat.....................FW Bill

@Trogon That was very useful info. Thanks for posting the field dressed weights. The places that I called are far south in Texas, and am hoping to find something a little further north. Maybe Feb is the right time, based on temps............FWB

Unlike some cheaper Stainless rifles, the Sako 75 is all stainless, even the trigger mechanism. These make the perfect traveler rifle for Asia, Alaska or NZ.....won't rust up on you, and in 06 you can always find ammo if you need to. I use this model for trips to the wet areas of the...

I'm a little more of a sceptic since I bought that Markhor hunt from a Nigerian prince......but I say go for it............FWB

@SFRanger7GP Never having taken a Nilgai I am having some difficulty fully appreciating their toughness. Or so I'm being told. I use a .62 traditional rifle shooting hand cast balls of half pure lead and half wheel weight. I have taken 40 elk, deer and pronghorn (total) with this load, and it...

@Rando8586 ....the serial no is B3733 FWB

Must be tough to buy gloves for that man. ...........FWB

That is a super offer, Divan. I love the look of the country in the background of those fine trophies.....thanks for posting.......FWB

@SFRanger7GP No, but I am calling King today and have made two calls already. Have a friend that may hunt, with a 300UM, but when everyone finds out that I want to hunt with a muzzleloader they threaten me and hang up (not really).....still open to suggestions.......if you have any........FWB

@Lance Hopper I think putting your needs up front is wise. FWIW, I would have bought both of these hunts if I hadn't had knee surgery last week. I second @Rare Breed endorsement. Although I have not been to this particular camp, have hunted with both men, and they are first rate...............FWB

@Rando8586 Idaho............FWB

It has the half round bbl instead of the bull bbl, so is a bit lighter than some.....FWB

It weighs 10.4 pounds.............FWB

@ActionBob I'm with Gina on this one.....the old iron wheelers are the classics. Had a 47 Mod D and a 34 Mod D also, but now down to just the 1929.......Bill

Dang, @ActionBob you certainly know your tractors......I have a 1929 John Deere Mod D with a 350 cu in twin popper in it......but never knew JD made a two stroke.......a corn popper motor. ........FW Bill

America has become a country where small, minority groups are catered to. Often to the exclusion of the majority and in the face of common sense............always be vigilant where the crazies are concerned. ..........FWB

@matt85 Thanks for info.........FWB

Ya, @CoElkHunter 30 years for Utah, I alternated between Henry;s Mtns and Book Cliffs. Never had the money for Antelope Isl. @JimP No worries, I think a Mod 71 in 348 has enough history to make a great bison rifle. The cost of hunts in the Continental US. in either $ or preference points has...

I bought this rifle hoping to hunt wild bison one day. Received the draw results from Utah yesterday. 30 tries is enough. Now, hoping to generate a little money and hunt a different buffalo in Africa. Maybe I can draw THAT tag.....Somebody please buy this rifle, shoot a bison, and send me a...

I ordered this rifle from Big Timber 30 years ago, and took possession 28 years ago. It is unfired. In the very desirable 45-2 4/10 chambering. Spirit level front sight for use with interchangeable inserts. The rear sight is the finest ever made for a Shiloh, and is no longer available...

@FallowJaeger Your problem, as you have already surmised, is that you will have too many good choices. Follow your instincts......a smaller operation, where your PH is an owner, is my recommendation for your first hunt. Every operator has strengths......when you have winnowed it down to just a...

@Hunter-Habib Excellent info, thanks for posting. It brought back many memories of both BSA rifles and motorcycles. The bikes were less revered by us...."Bastard Stopped Again" was a common moniker. But the rifles were a cut above the usual junk that us kids hunted with. I think, from your prior...

Sadly, it's Burkina Faso military that is blamed for executing the 56 children. US funded military. When American tax dollars floods these poor countries, competition for wealth leads to waring of factions and chaos. Hunting is a collateral casualty. .........FWB

AMERICA WILL FIX IT Before 2009, US aid to Burkina Faso (BF) was nil.....about $200,000 per year. This could not go on. "though the Country was home to no specific terrorist threats during this time, and certainly none to the US, the US Govt began supplying a significant influx of funding...

@Rafiki Looks like an awesome project. The best reason to do this is simply because you want to. And having taken a No. 1 to Africa several times (I currently keep one there) this is very interesting to me. I could never find a rifle chambered in the 50-140-700 and wondered if it was simply an...

Beautiful rifles for sure. Is it too much to ask American bolt rifle manufacturers to learn to make these straight bolts, instead of those swept back knuckle busters...at least on the big bores? Ya, it is....FWB

@CoElkHunter I agree, $47 is an odd number.........FWB

FOREIGN AFFAIRS ran a hit piece on President Trump today, entitled "NATO cannot exist without America". The scare tactic hate rant told us what Trump thinks, how he thinks and even his "instincts". Another add on to the Stormy Daniels persecution. Anyway, it could have more correctly been...

@Red Leg I don't believe Russia has imperial aspirations.....that is another propaganda message from "The Blob" as Pres Obama called it. I don't think they even want all of Ukraine. And yes, Ukraine alone has the right to decide what they will do. As did Cuba in 1962. But we intervened. We had...

@Red Leg "I assume you are uninterested?".........what a curious and accusatory thing to say. Did you actually read the article I referenced? Learning politics during the unipolar period-1991 to 2017, when the US was the only major power in the World leads some to believe there has been no...

"This persistent belief that there was never a diplomatic path to peace in Ukraine is inconsistent with the facts and functions as a self-imposed constraint forcing Western governments to double down on unsustainable and counter productive war aims." The Hill, May 8, 2024 from a decent...

Say-Koe FWB

Sako is a great deal as well. GLWS..............FWB

Despite being far more fit than the other climbers, I was simply not able to go above 16,000 feet. A lady that had probably never exercised in her life, helped me climb down. Very embarrassing. Just as @Altitude sickness states........you can't easily predict how you'll do on a climb......FWB

Good info, thanks for posting. The democrats and the thinly veiled democrats that post on this site, should be aware, that to vote Democrat in the USA is to vote against hunting. In the long run......FWB

The effect, and popularity of this model of Win 22 can not be over stated. Learned to shoot with one of 'em...............FWB

Oops.....just noticed @Sika98k did not have a selfie.....shouldda read first...........FWB

Dang, @Ontario Hunter that looks painful, although I think @Sika98k has got you beat on that score......FWB

Eagerly await your detailed report, Paul..............FW Bill

@Red Leg Yes, the same old tired ideas of isolation and confrontation with Russia have led us to this point. It will be interesting (and frightening) to see where they lead from here. Look up exactly what the US paid to bring Sweden into NATO, then reflect on what Ukraine is paying now. Always...

My father-in-law told me he paid $7 for this pistol.....but he told me that more than 50 years ago and his memory had already faded a bit........FW Bill

@WAB You are the exception. I appreciate that. I don't ask everyone to agree with me. Only to think for themselves. You have done that. I salute you. Many do not believe that America or NATO had anything to do with starting this war. I do. I also believe that this war could be stopped with a...

Any ball park estimates on worth? Thanks for good photos........Bill

So is it a parts gun or a type 3? I think the distinction would change the value quite a bit?....FWB
