    Ceiling height

    I know that you can not really do a Kudu with a shoulder mount but what about Sable or Nyala In a room with 8’ ceilings? I’m out of room for floor pedestals am I’m limited by my ceiling heights. Thanks for any input.

    Custom Boots

    Does anyone know what plains game has a hide thick or stiff enough to have them made into a pair of custom boots? Also thinking I might save some hides for a leather jacket if anybody has done that as well. Thanks, Jaye

    Wanted TuffPak 1050

    Call Out to Mark Biggerstaff

    Mark’s a great guy. Without him I don’t think I would be as far along on my first safari as I am.

    Anyone else butcher?

    We do or own as well. We we’re just doing steak, burger and stew meat but finally bought a sausage stuffer a few years ago and started making our own smoked sausage and deer sticks. Last year I did ground deer bacon for the first time and it turned out great.

    Blaser ideal Africa 2 barrel set

    My current set up in the R8 is 375 H&H, 300 Wby and 22 hornet And I would not hesitate to take this set anywhere in the world. If I add another barrel it would be the 6.5x55.
  39. jbirdwell

    One caliber away from contentment... who else?

    I would also look at the 6.5x55 or 7mm-08. Great rounds for what your wanting to do but with very mild recoil and I think they would give you just a little more capability if you did need it sometime in the future.

    Blaser R8 Bolt Question

    I’ve thought about the 257 Wby or the 270 WSM but I have a soft spot for the 6.5x55. It’s been one of my favorite calibers for over 30 years, that along with the 35 Whelen and 300 Wby.

    Blaser R8 Bolt Question

    My current R8 barrel setup is 375 H&H, 300 Wby, and 22 Hornet. I’m going to eventually get a barrel in 6.5x55 to round out my hunt anything-anywhere setup. But back to the question. Even though the 375 H&H & 300 Wby can use the same bolt head, would it be better if they each had their own...

    Supressors good and bad?

    I have been using the SilencerCo Omega 300 for anything 30 caliber & smaller and couldn’t be happier. Now, if I can just get the ATF to approve my 46M, I’ll be set for the larger calibers. When you get ready to buy, check out Capital Armory online. Very easy to deal with and can ship the can...

    How do you haul your game out?

    I finally admitted I was getting old and bought me one of the redneck brand receiver hoists. (I went through a couple of the cheap ones that boke on me first). I put in on my Polaris Ranger at the beginning of the season and don't take it off until the season is over. So when I drag the...
