I have a Strasser in 375 Ruger. I am taking my Blaser in May to Africa.

I I am about 20 miles east--almost in Georgia.

Do Do you still live in the Auburn area?

I assume you would want to carry all the guns in one case. If you plan on going back to South Africa and using one gun case, don't get her a gun of the same caliber you are bringing. There is a limit of one gun per caliber. I believe the all guns in a case should belong to one individual and I...

As far as conventions, I am close to Atlanta at about 1.5 hours to anywhere in the city and 5 hours from Nashville. I will go to both.

According to Blaser USA‘s Kevin Wistner, there are two locations that can thread barrels in the US without potentially voiding the barrel’s warranty. The places are Mag-na-port and Tip Burns in Canyon Lake, TX (210) 508-7961. I went with Tip and found him easy to work with and had an...

I have started using the Osprey Transporter Wheeled Duffel 120. It weighs 8.13 pounds and is lighter than most of its competitors. When I fill it up the total weight with the bag is 50 pounds. With much more it gets pretty tight. It has waterproof outside material--in a light rain you are...

I have AirTags in all my luggage. It showed me that apparently my luggage was gone through in Vienna. The luggage arrived and the AirTag continued to stay at the Vienna Airport. It continued to show its location for months. LOL

The only engines in the current Tundras are the i-FORCE twin-turbo V6 engine and the hybrid version.

There is no 5.7 V8 in the current Tundra. I have that engine in my Lexus LX 570 and it is solid. After just finishing the fuel line temporary fix recall and the brake campaign, I find out there is another.

Stoeger is owned by Benelli which in turn is owned by Beretta. The Maryland service center might be Stoeger. You have multiple different options if that is not the direction you want to go. https://www.beretta.com/en-us/service/find-a-service-center

Hi, I am about twenty miles east of the loveliest village on the plain. I am just off I-85 two miles from Georgia Line. I use Regions in Auburn and surprisingly had difficulties. The bank employee that I dealt with today may be the only person there with a normal IQ. Very helpful and...

I don't know how much experience you have or if you may want to make one gun do all. A lot of the "sporting clay" guns will be heavier than a typical field guns. I would decide on what action after shooting a good bit. I am a Beretta guy and have various O/U and semiautomatics. I have shot...

A friend of mine is from Germany and expresses amazement when dealing with things like this in the US. The bank I deal with is fairly large with 154 billion in assets. I may just be dealing with local branch idiots. I don't know if another bank would be better or just have different local idiots.

I have a few trips coming up and money will have to change hands. It seems like everyone wants a wired transfer of money. My local bank branch (20 miles away) apparently does very little international transfers and is pretty inept, along with being costly. One transfer took 3 hours for them...

At my state SCI event, I was the high bidder of a Roe Deer hunt in Serbia. The owner of the operation suggested that I do the hunt in April. Is there any advantage or disadvantage of doing this? I assume they would have their antlers back by that time. This would be for 2025.

I was looking at an article in the Daily Telegraph and decided to look closely at the firearms. This was at a Houthi rally recently and it appears to be a model 98 of some flavour.

It would have made a sensational YouTube video.

This appears to be the same gun that was on Guns International. What is the story? https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/franz-sodia-rifles/franz-sodia---engraved-drilling---16-gauge---7x75r.cfm?gun_id=102356101

In regards to the current Tundra, the engine has not been a problem with mine, though multiple cases of blown engines are out there. The temporary fuel fix recall might be eliminated with the engine change. The brake campaign would not be changed . The soon to be fourth seat side panel would not...

I have a new model Toyota Tundra. I bought it because all my previous Toyotas were essentially problem free. I would NOT buy a new Toyota Tundras, fuel line recall with only temporary fix available now, brake campaign, multiple broken seat side panels and the lists goes on. I don't know...

Looked at a lot of different hunts for 2025—none bought yet. Didn’t see anything that screamed, “what a deal.” However, saw lots of what appear to be great hunts. Being there only one day, I did not have time for the auctions—apparently this was to my detriment. I will evaluate the material...

I would personally take the gun out and shoot it. If the gun has any issues start at that point. Try it and see what it shoots/feeds well. Is the length/eye relief ok? Get the basics figured out before going off on tangents. I own about 20 Model 70’s from every period and other than one...

That is not the current situation. Nosler and Hornady make factory 280 AI ammunition. https://ammoseek.com/ammo/280-remington-ackley-improved

Apparently as mentioned, Jack O'Connor had no problems with it. I picked up a letter he sent to an individual that was planning a trip to the Yukon in 1956. The person was apparently trying to decide between a 30-06 and a 35 Whelen.

I think that is true for a lot of things--best retriever, best car and so on. Being originally from Lafayette, I can say with absolute certainty of only one thing. NEVER put tomatoes in gumbo! I miss the seafood.

If we were able to put these and similar discussions in a magazine, we could sell millions of copies--look at Jack O'Connor. Not much difference between them for hunting. However, I have have all the mentioned calibers and for some reason my 7x64's and 7x65R all shoot MOA.

I may be going after one in May and that looks lots more interesting than some random teeth on a shelf. After the prep of the skull, was most of the work done in Africa or the US?

I believe Zimbabwe.

No

That is very interesting. What is the foot print of the table and how high does it stand? Is the glass just secured by what looks like a bolt through the glass and supported by three points on the skull?

I think your cartridge choice depends on what you want to do. I think for squirrels and similar stuff up to 80-90 yards the 17 HM2 is a great choice. There is plenty of ammunition around now and people have been saying it was a dead cartridge at least 15 years. I have about 7 rifles in this...

Actually, Savage made or makes an A17 in 17HM2. It is very likely the least accurate gun I have ever owned.

I have a few and like them. Right now ammo is easy to come by. Who knows what the future holds for any ammunition availability. https://ammoseek.com/ammo/17hm2

I don't believe Ruger did. This is likely an aftermarket modification.

I will go, it is taking place 90 miles away from me.

It will depend on a bunch of factors. If you are flying one of the higher levels, there may be different allowances. The destination and possibly your status with the airline may affect your allowance. Flying to say Lewiston, ID coach you may have a 50# max, a higher level gets you 70#. If...

I fly Delta from Atlanta and often connect through KLM. The food on KLM is better than Delta, in my opinion. I am less satisfied with both airlines than I was say 10 years ago. The whole flying experience has changed.

In my part of Alabama, it is 58° now with low 45° with wind advisories. Next week lows will be in the 20's.

With any luck, I will be there with Barbara.

Could secretaries of defense be added to the list? LOL

There may be multiple smiths. I did not see one at the old town market—I could easily have missed it. This was in Wenceslas square

We were actually around the area most of the day. We went back to our hotel and returned to see a street lighting ceremony and were turned back. Much of the area was blocked off ands now hours after the shooing still hearing sirens. We then went to the CZ store and I bought some items. They...

Hi Bill what is the Blacksmith? A market or gunshop?

I am in Prague now and will go to Dresden for a day later in the week. The snow is gone now and I have yet to hit a gun shop—that will change tomorrow. I’ll get back home just before New Years, in time for the peak of deer season.

Austria. Going to local ranges, I don’t see any reason not to agree with that.

Deutsche Reichsbahn

When I was hunting in Europe, they seemed to have a pretty low opinion of American marksmanship.
