    Question for long-time alaskans

    I've shot Buffalo Bore ammo. It's overpriced. The 10 in quick succession were that level or higher. Not often a person needs to shoot that many +P+ rounds in a short time. .45-70 is the lightest 458 caliber I own. Now 458 Lott? That's a beast. Didn't take me 10 rounds to decide I didn't need...

    Ruger M77 MKII 6mm Rem

    I think it has a lot to do with how efficient and dedicated your postmaster and local investigators are. Once they get it cashed it's a lot harder to get back than if you realize early and get it intercepted. Most farcebook scams are 3rd party. They befriend a pigeon to be their intermediary...

    Ruger M77 MKII 6mm Rem

    Yet, here we are, talking about a man who got scammed using a USPS money order...coincidence? Nah. Cashiers checks are currently the most often counterfeited instruments.

    Ruger M77 MKII 6mm Rem

    100 % serious. I will never ask for nor send a USPS money order. Besides the scamming risks, it's a pain to cash one. If you live in town your experience may vary. I can send a check or deposit one from the comfort of my home. Might be 2 weeks or more before I can get to the post office between...

    Ruger M77 MKII 6mm Rem

    The 1st clue it's a scam is when they ask for a USPS money order. If you're lucky, the receiving postmaster might be sympathetic and intercept it for you. You'd probably have to file a fraud complaint 1st, but you have to act fast.

    Question for long-time alaskans

    I apologize for laughing...but I bet I have heard something similar a dozen times in the past 2 months. When I think of brutal recoil, .45-70 is not what I think of. I've got 8 or 9 I (I forget :confused: ) .45-70s. The only time one has seemed brutal was when I fired 10 heavy load rounds in a...

    Wanted Marlin Trapper 4570

    Did you check your local Cabelas or Bass Pro? They usually have them. Right now, a used one will cost as much or more as a new one, since so many early buyers paid inflated prices.

    Victoria Falls

    I looked back at our timeliness. We only spent 2 days there. I think the elephant rides were at the Stanley and Livingstone preserve. We also did a relaxing Zambezi river sundown cruise.

    Victoria Falls

    We toured the falls, took a day trip to Chobe, and visited an elephant preserve. I'll have to research to remember which one. Might have been booked through shearwater adventures

    Victoria Falls

    We just flew out of JNB and spent 3 days at Victoria Falls, then back to JNB to be picked up by the PH for hunting. Left anything we didn't need in Zimbabwe at Africa Sky for the 3 days. But I'm sure you could find an outfit to hunt with in Zim or Botswana.

    So the 308 Win seems approved by AH, what about the rifle?

    Nothing wrong with being "particular" LOL I use a circa 1990 Ruger M77 MK II all-weather. 308. Hundreds of dead deer, pronghorn, elk, coyotes, hogs.. But, I wouldn't recommend it based on your criteria. Its an excellent 1st-shot rifle, but groups widen very quickly. A kimber Montana or...

    Rmr base options for Sabatti double?

    Mounting a red dot/RMR on a new Chapuis Elan-anyone done it?

    Which gunsmith did you use? I'd like to have a plate made for the same purpose. The RMR mount I have would fit on the existing plate if it didn't have those raised surfaces on the front and rear ends of it. I thought about milling it flat and rebluing it, but would like to save it in case I...

    How do you rank/compare/contrast the difficulty and overall experience of hunting each of North America's Big Game Species?

    They are here in NE Texas as well. I've never hunted real snipe, but have had several scare the bejesus out of us as kids when we were coon hunting. Our uncles would drag us through the briars and the brambles. Just as you'd breathe a sigh of relief when the traversing became easier, a snipe...

    AR-10 Caliber Question

    I've killed hogs with dozens of calibers, but most fell to 12 Guage buckshot or 6.5 Grendel out of my AR or Howa mini-action. If I had a place where I could take 500 to 1000 yard shots I definitely would. They are vermin an deserve no sporting chance.

    30/06 165 grain

    I'm a big proponent of premium bullets. But....my 1st trip to Africa everything dropped to a single shot of Remington 180 gr Core-Lokt from a camp .30-'06. Plenty of gun for plains game.

    What have you killed with the 8x57?

    I'll have to come back and post photos later. I took a Remington 700 in 8x57 to South Africa in 2019. Mountain zebra, Sable, bush pig, warthog, mountain reedbuck and impala! I used Norma 196 gr Oryx ammunition Best part? I paid $350 including shipping for the rifle. Sub MOA groups. I zeroed...

    Report Scam in AH Classifieds

    Here's another scammer. I had asked another poster about a rifle. I ignored him at 1st since my deals with another person were none of his business. Second time I dropped some bait. This may get humorous

    August Schuler Suhl .45-70 s/s

    I absolutely do love it! Action is still a bit stiff but will eventually loosen up. The only thing is it is regulated with Hornady Leverevolution 325 FTX ammuntion. Nothing wrong with that ( and I understand why they chose that round for regulation) but I would sure like it to be regulated with...
