I think I may be the odd man out here. I have been a gun guy much longer than I have been into hunting. I have used these black and “Tupperware” guns professionally for half of my life at this point. I use an AR10 in 6.5 creedmoor (funny how a lot of people that bash it can’t spell it) for...

Absolutely amazing.

I have several of those, I prefer the gerbers but will be trying out the new hogues soon. I really can’t remember if that was a mallard or Canada goose, at any rate it was my first time cleaning either. I didn’t think I left much behind.

Busse Combat HG55, scrapyard knife company 10-20 and a buck paklite 635. The hawk is a RMJ loggerhead. All the ones I use most often.

Despite being known as the roughest country in the lower 48 the Frank Church Wilderness in Idaho is amazing.

Comfort plus bulkhead would be the minimum. But the next section up would be my pick, I can’t remember what delta called it but with American it’s premium economy, you get the reclining seats there. First class is not worth it in my opinion, that’s an extra animal.

So in case any of you find yourself in the same place I can recommend Mokolodi game preserve for photos and dinner. They will also allow you to do unguided walking tours which is pretty fun. The restaurant sits over a watering hole so you will see some game there, the food is absolutely...

Hello everyone, I’ll be in Gaborone for work, fairly short trip and it will be busy without a lot of down time. Just curious if any of you have any restaurant recommendations, things of interest to see (particularly for a hunter even though this isn’t a hunting trip), areas to avoid. Really...

Yes, I heard from her last week (with no prompt from me I will add) and my trophies should be shipping in the next few weeks.

I have settled on a 7prc for this use case. With that being said I will continue to use my 6.5 cm ar10 for deer and hogs

I have not, I have had communication with the exporter, they had a big governmental shift there last year (for the better as I understand it) and the export paperwork had to be resubmitted and was not expect to be processed until this March so I’m hoping I will have an update in the next few months.

I was just looking at those and the swift A frames, would be nice to find a solid and tinker with the loads until they had a similar enough POI to shoot them interchangeably. The barnes TSX also seems like a good choice but a little more pricey.

Thanks @AZDAVE I think I will be happy with it as well, I’m going to go for it!

The performance in a 20” barrel is definitely a big part of my draw to the ruger cartridges as well because I will be using a suppressor in the states and maybe in Africa as well once I figure out all the import /export logistics. It is not really the cost of the rifles in some of the...

For sure. That price is extra hard to swallow when I would already prefer the shorter action of the ruger and the non belted case as well as the stock options for the rugers.
