I have 1917 and a Santa Barbara Mauser that will eventually be built into nice rifles, but I've got other calibers in mind for those builds. I'm known around these parts as a big CZ guy, having owned about 20 pistols and rifles with the CZ stamp over the years. I've had my heart set on a 550...

Could be construed as "Cultural Appropriation".

Once ya hear the "THWAAAK", ya never go back! :LOL:

What's the twist rate in that barrel? The 300 Blackout with a 1/5 twist and 240gr Sierra BTHP Match bullets is very effective. Trajectory like a slingshot, but what wallop when it hits. ;)

I can post pictures of both the binoculars and their factory boxes when I get home from work this afternoon. Both have the R designation, but as far as I can tell the primary difference is the round button on mine vs the square button on hers. The ability on mine to switch from yards to...

Both are Geovids 10X42's. Hers will give accurate readings out to maybe 900 yards, mine would give repeated readings out to nearly 1700 yards. We were trying to spot Klipspringer in a rocky hillside in Pilanesberg when we really put this to the test.

BOOM!

Tina and I both have the Leica Geovids purchased about a year apart. Hers were purchased about 2 years ago from the local Cabela's, measures in yards only, and has the square buttons. Mine were purchased last year a few months before our Safari and can read in both yards and meters and has the...

I've booked a hunt in 2025 with Marius of HUNTROMANIA for Red Stag and Chamois and rather than bring a rifle I already have, this provides the perfect excuse to buy a new one. Marius has R8's as rental rifles, and this is unbelievably tempting, but having your own rifle that you are comfortable...

Any update on the sale?

Once upon a time, about 20 years ago I bought a nib H&R 176 for about $200. Used it for waterfowl for several years, and then decided it needed a cleaning and camo paint job. Upon taking the butt pad off, a long steel rod about an inch in diameter slid out of the stock bolt hole. I set it aside...

The website has pictures of some great looking Crocs. (y) Welcome to AH and best of luck to you this season.

Same here. The primary purpose of the Military rifle primer is #1. A thicker cup to prevent slam fires in the Stoner/Armalite platform from the free floating firing pin. #2. Sustain higher pressures without rupture, especially in full auto and high rate of fire weapons. #3. Allow the primer...

What an adventure. Wishing safety and success to you and your hunting party. Remember, there will be a crowd of us here on AH waiting to see pictures and a Hunt Report when you get back. :)

I've seen quite a few rifles, and quite a few shooters that could do that, but I agree that most people and rifle/ammo that you are likely to see at a range wont come close. What would really interest me is how well or poorly most hunters and shooters could do from the standing, kneeling...

I wear a wide brim hat on most of my outdoor adventures not because it's fashionable, but because I take care of my skin. Two years ago I had MOHS surgery to remove a large patch of skin cancer from my right temple about the size of a quarter. Not especially painful, but it did leave a nasty...

An excellent choice, with the bonus of an adjustable rear sight. Let us know how it shoots.

Got Rhinos rooting in your Rutabagas? Gophers destroying your Golf Course? We'll worry no more, Gunbroker has just what you need. An 8mm-378 Weatherby Wildcat to take care of those pesky vermin. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1044174279 Over 20 pounds, but hey, you wanted to get into shape...

Have you considered a model 10? If it's something that family members will shoot often, the smaller grip might be a good idea. In any case, a good revolver just isn't really mine until I've found a nice set of cocobolo grips for it. ;)

I understand how old it is in principle. My point was that left wing pundits cry about 1 thing done by Republicans, but forget the 100 things done before and after that by Democrats.

Patently false, and a common Democrat tactic. Democrat majorities in Congress, as well as Democrat Presidents have passed plenty of laws that violate the Constitutional Rights of Americans before and after Reagan. These include, but are not limited to asset forfeiture laws. THIS is what I refer...

This is called the law of unintended consequences, and it's the primary reason I despise leftist politicians and Democrat voters.

I got muh Polychoke on muh J C Higgins shotgun. Goin down toodah turkey shoot dis weekend. :ROFLMAO:

I've noticed the same thing myself, especially eastern Whitetails. If the corn is still standing and you have a calm foggy morning, that's the best time to put the sneak on them. ;) The only time I can really think of being forced to wait out the fog is if your only option is to locate...

I'm with you on this. Very nice looking rifle. In some ways Weatherby rifles, along with the Colt/Sauer and Golden Eagle rifles were great looking when toned down just a tad. Graceful lines, but a bit shiny for my taste. Semi gloss on both wood and metal actually added to the beauty in my...

Have a good friend that asked me what this rifle is worth, and if he should buy or not. I have never seen this rifle other than the pictures he sent. The story is the owner bought it some time ago planning on someday going to Africa, but passed before that happened. NIB never fired, paid 20k...

'If a man shall not work, none shall give him anything to eat" 2 Thessolonians 3:10

I've seen plenty of what some might describe as a failed projectile, but often still resulted in a rapid kill, sometimes not so rapid. Broadheads that snapped in half when even light bone was struck, bullets that expanded to wide, to rapidly and failed to penetrate vital organs, etc. Even one...

With the lack of brass or ammo, I've decided to pass on this rifle. If interested here is the contact information. Steve Yuszka Powder Room Firearms 2685 Plain City Georgesville Rd West Jefferson Ohio 43162 614-879-8455 Hope this rifle makes someone happy.

Good news. The rifle is still available and comes with a set of RCBS dies. Bad news. The gun store owner informed me that the remaining brass and ammo were separated from the rifle and sold.

Found this in the fine print on the SCI website. *Payment plans available, please call 888-HUNT-SCI or 888-486-8724 for more details.

I'll stop by tomorrow and snap some pics. I'd like some opinions here on exactly what it is. If my memory is correct, most of these had Douglas barrels 23 or 24 inches long, island style iron sights not a quarter rib, ebony for end tip, barrel band sling swivel, semi gloss bluing. This does...

Exactly what I was thinking. I haven't seen a box of Dakota ammo in any caliber for quite a few years, nor brass for that matter. If it had been chambered in a common caliber I would have walked out the door with it.

Also, I believe this is the Safari model with island rear sight and barrel band sling mount.

Like most of us, I need another rifle like I need a hole in my foot. Problem is my local gun shop just bought an Estate firearms collection with a 330 Dakota rifle. Typical Dakota 76 with high grade wood, beautiful checkering, Talley QD mounts, plus 200 once fired cases and several boxes of...

60 and older receive a $250 discount off the standard $1,500 Life Membership. https://safariclub.org/membership/

Just fired off an email to SCI suggesting a Veteran's Life Membership option. If there are others that think this is something they would sign up for if it became an option, send SCI an email and help make it happen.

I like the idea of using the factory 300 grain Barnes X for everything. The ammo is available for a reasonable cost, seems to give excellent accuracy in a wide variety of rifles, doesn't require any trajectory variables that you might have with different bullets weights, and best of all, it does...

Congratulations. Let us know what your plans are for it.

Well if they ever offer one, they have 3 guys on this thread alone that would jump on it. :W Sub Machine Gun:

My bad guys. Senior Discount not Veterans. I'd qualify for both if they were available. Looking back, I should have bought the Senior Life Membership in January before going to the Convention in Nashville.

Yes. Next year when it's time to renew, I'll purchase the Military Veterans Life Membership.

Close. I think George Soros has the Whitehouse on speed dial.

Just got an email from Midway USA they now have Remington 257 Roberts ammo in stock. I usually buy all the 257 ammo I can for Tina's rifle, but being the nice guy I am, I'm giving you fellas first crack at it. They have had Hornady Super performance within the last few months, but somebody...

This looks like a fantastic adventure and can't wait to join you in 2025. I'll be looking for the hunt reports of any of the guys and gals on this forum that are lucky enough to hunt in such a beautiful area.

"Programming" is probably a more accurate term. ;)

Waidmanns Heil! Hope you both have a great time. Remember, pictures or it didn't happen. ;)

Norma 450 Rigby for $59 a box! :D How much of that Norma 450 Rigby solid do you have in stock?
