    I still have these 223 wssm dies for anyone who needs them. I know they are not a real good "African" cartridge but somebody may be able to use them!!

    Age of first African hunting trip

    I was 64 but celebrated my 65th birthday in 2019. It was in Zimbabwe. Our dinner server sang happy birthday song to me and it was great!!

    What airlines besides Delta are gun friendly....heading to Argentina in 2025

    I would personally want to take my own rifle too. I went dove hunting there and did not take my own shotgun for a couple reasons. Fellow travelers who had been there before said it wasn't worth the hassle or the fees they charge. As others have said, as cheap or cheaper to rent the shotgun...

    For Sale 375 Remington Ultra Mag Remington 700

    He probably won't respond since he hasn't been on here since 2020. I see in one of his posts that he did sell the gun and finally sold the brass and bullets.

    Melanie Passes away at 76

    Thanks Redleg, I hadn't heard of her passing. Great singer and songs. I was too young and wouldn't have been allowed anyway, but sure wish I could have seen her at Woodstock!!

    Hello from Alaska!

    Welcome roklok, I envy you native Alaskan residents. All that variety without a guide. I have been hunting in Alaska 8 times. Of course for the sheep and grizzly I had to have a guide. Moose, caribou and black bear I have hunted with friends. Been on the haul road bow hunting and always...

    Mounts on the wall

    I am curious on the logistics on this very nice load of animals. Surprised that all those fit together in the crate. Really curious if you had to go through all of the hoops compared to shipping back hides and horns?

    Hello from the Last Frontier

    Welcome Sourdough!! I love Alaska and have been up there a number of times. Flew out of Ninilchik a couple times with Doug, Alaska West air. Caught a "slot" salmon at 47" that we had to let go on the Kenai river a few years ago. Been bow hunting caribou on the haul rd, Dalton and been up to...

    Wanted Weatherby Factory Ammo In 338-378 Prefer 225 Nosler Partition

    Thanks for all the responses on my "wanted" ammo. My buddy is set on his ammunition for the Polar bear hunt. A little light in my opinion, but you know what they say about opinions, HA. He's going the end of May, so I'll report on his success later.

    Wanted Weatherby Factory Ammo In 338-378 Prefer 225 Nosler Partition

    Yes, it does have a muzzle brake. And yes Polar bear. I have a Remington 375 ultra mag in SS/synthetic I offered him to take. And he has a 375 flanged double that he took to Africa. I shot my cape buffalo when we were there together. He is pretty much set on the Weatherby.

    "Krieghoff Owner's Help"!!!

    I don't see anything wrong with the setup. Leave it off and use the iron sights as is. You have options to use optics if you want. Krieghoff did an excellent job for my friend, but wasn't cheap, but it was worth it and I was along when he took his elephant with the red dot equipped 375...

    "Krieghoff Owner's Help"!!!

    It looks good to me. I was a machinist/toolmaker and it looks like a good setup. A friend sent his Krieghoff back to them and had a Trijicon red dot sight installed where the removable block is, right in front of the breech. Didn't alter the gun at all. It looks like the same thing was done...

    I have a young nephew that is turning into a fine young hunter and could use this spotting scope. He lives in farm country in Michigan and is always on the lookout for deer, coyotes and even a few pheasants around the farm. If that is acceptable, let me know what you need from me Thanks Mark

    Higher fees for transporting trophies during Covid?

    I already have them dipped and packed. They are at the transporter in Zimbabwe. The price was for the hides and horns of the three animals. I thought it was a high price and just inquired with the PH. He also agreed that it was probably higher because of the fewer international flights, as...

    Higher fees for transporting trophies during Covid?

    My trophies are still in Zimbabwe and my PH says the fees to transport are higher than normal. My first trip and of course my first experience with shipping. Quoted $2400 for one cape buffalo and two Impala's. That is to get it to Chicago. Is that normal? Thanks for replies

    What cartridge have you thought about the most, but never owned a rifle in it?

    Might be off the wall, but every since I saw Quigley, Down Under, I have wanted a 45/110. Probably won't ever own one but that would be a great round for bison.

    I think this one is ready to hunt!

    That is great shooting and yes it is ready. Too bad you can't take your own rifle to Zimbabwe! Some of the enjoyment of hunting anyplace is the satisfaction of having your own gear, especially guns that you have practiced with. Good luck with your plans
