he's legit. Glad to hear you're issue is resolved.

I'm in central Florida for the new Year seei g fam and friends. Played golf with an old friend from my phosphate mine reclamation days during school. He's an expat that fled Venezuela. He's not exactly down in the mouth. :D Think I'll have a maduro cigar soon as well. Great idea!

While planning my Africa trip I talked with my ph about bullets for the 375. He spoke very highly of the TSX. I had a surprisingly easy time developing a load that shoots under 1" at 200 yards. That's not a typo. I was very surprised. They performed well on a buffalo, zebra, and...

Will be praying Keep us posted please.

An update is overdue I had given up on the daka system per my previous comments. But I tried something else. A cheap serrated steak knife and a Dremel tool and about an hour of messing around and I came up.with a solution. I was able to make this work with only the original blocks but more...

No guidance but I can't wait to see pics of how it turns out

Fascinating subject and I very much appreciate the methodological approach you gave it.

Bravo

Nice!

They're organized. Perhaps they're plotting against me as we speak. :D

Grave tactical error alert!!!!! A forum member has brought logic and reason into the discussion of US GOV game management.

When I was dove hunting this fall I saw very few and hit only a small portion of the ones I fired upon Yesterday evening, walking the dogs in the neighborhood and suddenly there were massive flocks of dove everywhere. In December!!! I'm standing there with 2 Labradors and no shotty. Ugh...

Napalm. Jump straight to the sticky chemical insta+cure bro. It works on traveling salesmen too.

One of the coincidentally interesting things I noticed when I bought my blaser r8 is that the inside front of the magazine box has a 3-4mm thick layer of rubber. I assume it's for just this purpose. I'm impressed they were that thorough in the design.

I have experienced this a lot w old nosler or sierra soft points in my dad's old 30-06. Cant remember which. Green paper box. No noticeable POI change under 100 yards. I usually scrape off the grossly deformed bit with a knife and keep hunting. It'll happen inside the plastic storage...

Great book. I'm 3/4 through it (although a boringly modern hardback version) in my book rotation. Enjoying it immensely. That's a lovely old version you have.

How about a classic Burris in gloss black?

Very exciting. Hope you have a great time (and a safe one.)

I've found that often they will match black friday deals found elsewhere. The added benefit is the free shipping and easy returns if you use prime.

I saw their website list it and then amazon had matching pricing (or perhaps more accurately, they had a storefront on amazon and listed their sale price.) It still shows the price of $102 on amazon and the magpul site. I was under the impression they were typically $130-150 but perhaps I...

In case others are curious, here's a brief review of something I had high hopes for. (Well... Medium hopes) I grabbed a black Friday deal on the well heralded Magpul daka storage system for my pelican case. First impressions: I like it. But I don't think it works for a r8. I need tightly...

That face says it all. I love it. Congrats! Those long shots can be tests of faith!

Yes plz.

I guess I just don't spend that much time thinking about it much less telling others how to do so. Especially during fall hunting season. Not poking fun at the OP, just scratching my head. Have fun, be careful, be ethical, don't be "that guy." But I bow hunt and the bow hunters can go all...

wildebeest tenderloin grilled over leadwood coals and seasoned only with salt and pepper. Superb

I'm quite fascinated by the surprisingly high involvement in quill or fountain pens. Never would have thought that was a thing. Frankly, whenever I discover another niche, esoteric interest, I immensely enjoy digging into it and learning about it. Unless it's k pop. :sick:

I've talked to him in person multiple times as I'm local and he's done 3 barrels for me. He's legit.

Thx guys. I didn't think about the impact noise alerting them. That kind of kills the whole vision I had of this. Maybe I'll just put a different gas plug and the tbac on the FAL for pig duty.

Thx guys. Not married to the caliber, but it's the quietest I know of that's reasonably powerful enough for small game.

Blaser doesn't offer a r8 barrel in the caliber. Looking for a barrel for night hunting pigs and coyotes over green light. Any available options and experiences?

Gorgeous Congrats

Caution: nerd has entered the chat :cool: -40c is -40f

I see what you did there

Ditto what @375Fox wrote. Another way to think of it is to estimate what you'll need for each animal planned and add a factor of safety. For example - cape buffalo - conservative estimate = 5 rounds +100% FOS because it's DG = 10 rounds. Plains game - conservative estimate 3 rounds. +50%...

To the immense displeasure of my 16 yo daughter I spent no less than 2 hours (with her) and just over $2k in the danner store in Portland buying several boots. Alas, took them all back. They're built for narrow feet. But they're really my jam in terms of looks. I just don't have danner...

I'm in Cibolo but I work over by Port of San Antonio.

Yes, but who isn't? You're supremely light hearted and a source of great humor. One of the threads where people were in a tangle about people putting (gasp!) suppressors on their DG rifles almost got into my signature line. You said something like "the report of a double rifle is too...

Handled like a pro. Glad you put him out of his misery

@rookhawk - that makes sense to me. My "what would i do with a crossbow?" line of thinking is I would still shoot deer at 20-30 yards max but have less chance of them ducking the arrow (er... bolt I guess) However, I would also use it regularly for pig hunting at my buddy's place (about 15...

I've also had a deer duck an arrow with my compound bow (pse) at 30 yds. I made the rookie mistake of forgetting not to shoot when their head was down. Was rusty. It was embarrassing but also AMAZING. It was like neo dodging bullets. I'm of the understanding that xbow velocity (400+ fps)...

here this thread comes back from the dead MWA-HA-HA Similar to @mdwest - I'm ready to move from a compound bow to the crossbow world. Too many shoulder dislos and they're catching up with me. I'm very interested in the new excalibur hybrid X. No press required to change cables and...

I actually laughed out loud at this but. Then my wife asked me what's so funny and I didn't DARE tell her why I was laughing.

Love this thread. I'm not much of a watch guy, but I'm a big fan of mechanical achievement. This is a 1964 BMW r50/2 motorcycle. I bought it as a pile of parts in 2008 while I was still at General Electric as a lowly design engineer. I spent 2 years sorting, selling, trading, and building...

I have it. Love it for normal hunts involving a lot of walking or climbing. I prefer it to leather and I like using it backpack style. However, it sucks in thorns. The rubber is just soft enough to get punctured and caught up on them. After the first day in S Africa, I took it off.

I'd be up for it. Have never hunted these birds. And they look tasty. Also... That's an impressive dog that will retrieve AND wear goggles.

Fascinating. Thx for the info I dug up info on this as well. They don't denature like typical proteins. Similar to virus "hard casings" that allow them to survive chemical attack, these babies need temperature enough to anneal soft metals to break down. Pretty impressive.

my PH was delighted when he saw i was hunting with a suppressor and said he wished more people used them. It seems there's an ilk here that is hot and bothered that someone on the internet doesn't do it the way they think it should be done. This reminds me of the "when i was in school we...

Giraud does not suck.. Excellent product

Very interested in this topic. Virus or bacteria, denatured is denatured. I have a background in genetics and biology and I'm interested to see thoughts on this matter.

Looks delicious Methinks we need more cooking recipes and food pics of game on this site.
