Otherwise known in Pennsylvania as the Amish AK or the Mennonite machine gun.

It will mimic my 270 winchester with 120 grain Barnes TTSX bullets. 48 grains of Ramshot Big Game with a 120 grain TTSX gets me ~ 3100 fps, in my Tikka its a 5 shot, 1 moa to 300 yards. outside of dangerous game there isn't anything this wont kill. Mild recoil, plentiful factory ammo, easily...

I must be the anomaly on here - LOL I've had great success using the Barnes TSX in my Weatherby 7mm-08. I reload so I'm using a 120 grain TSX going 3095 FPS. To date 30+ Pennsylvania whitetails (150 # avg) one shot kills and complete pass throughs. The furthest one ran was 50 yards. My wife...

I live in Northern Illinois outside of Chicago and I am seeing ads daily for SCI in Nashville. Nothing for DSC in Atlanta.

I can't remember which exact model. The experience soured me on Kuiu and they're customer service.

I have worn them in temps from the mid 40's Farenheit to low 80's and been very comfortable. They breathe well when you are walking. I wouldn't wear them sitting on stand all day when its 40 without a merino wool underlayer though.

I wore Kuiu on a safafri to SA several years back. 7 days in the bush nothing out of the normal just the usual thorns and brush in Limpopo. The pants got absoluteley trashed, ripped, torn, holes from thorns. When I got home I sent them back to Kuiu for a warranty claim, they denied my claim...

Wow - Midway and Cabela's has the Garmin at $549 right now !

I think the "problem" we have today is finding a bullet that doesn't work well for whatever you are hunting. I remeber back in the late 70's hunting with my dad, he shot a whitetail doe on the shoulder with his 30-06 knocked it down she got up and started running, shot again but this time she...

You didn't say where you are staying in Texas. Please remember Texas is a huge state. You can hunt exotics on private ranches, Fallow deer, Nilgai, Oryx and Blackbuck are all very popular. Turkey are in season during April and wild pigs are always available to hunt. Whitetail deer will be out...

Nice package, I wish I was going back to Africa this year.

Wow - as the OP I never expected this to blow up as it has. I haven't been back here in a bit since its my busy work season and I didn't expect to see 11 pages of response - LOL. Obviously, it struck a sensitive nerve with quite a few of you. 1. I only asked for advice on judging the animals...

I believe the Interbond has been replaced to a certain degree by the Hornady ELD-X line. I have used SST's extensively here in the states for whitetails and they are deadly. I would however have concern using them on PG. I have used the Federal Trophy Bonded Tipped (old Bear Claw design) as a...

Thank you for the input. I am more interested in the experience and certainly not interested in shooting a bull coming in to the feed station. I'm inexperienced in judging bulls so all of your prior experience helps. I would rather hunt 7 days and take an average bull than a better one over the...

My PH who I have hunted with the last several years has been trying to get me to come back for a Buffalo as he knows its on my bucket list. I am not a good judge of Bull's so I thought I would put this in here for those with more experience to help me with some input. I am not looking for a...
