Are you after the Bavarian Rifle or Carbine? I have been looking for a carbine for several years without success. I did sporterize a Swede and it turned out ok.....the trigger being the main problem.....if I find a rifle I will send you a PM..............FWB

Hiding behind the veil of anonymity on electronic media allows these SH's to be very brave. When someone confronts me in person........well, I am waaaay past the "educate them" phase. I say 3 things in this order 1. Oh, you are a vegan.......sorry to offend when they reply, NO , I'm not a vegan...

That's quite a nice Hartebeeste in addition to being shaped a bit odd. Love these trophies with some character.............'grats...........FWB

The quality of a Jonsered...the fit and finish, second to none. Own one. But I will never own another gas chainsaw.....my electrics always start, don't smell, are quiet, and are all I need at this age. Currently own 6 Husky's that are going on the block............FWB

Congrats on the Quigley..........hope you get to ring some steel with it, but they also make a pretty fine hunting rifle if you don't have to carry it too far. I have sold two Shiloh '74's on this site, have only one left.......a 40-65 in the light weight Jaeger model. A Ruger No. 1 in 45-70...

I bought a full frame Nikon last year. If any of you hold a PhD in electro-physics and would just come by and teach me how to use it, I will take it to Africa this year. Otherwise, I'll leave it home, and still be using the iPhone.....FWB

My little rural bank tells me they have NEVER sent a wire transfer to Africa. Not reassuring. And $10K in cash, the accepted limit, used to pay for a hunt........probably not anymore. Also, many operators don't take credit cards...and most don't have a US bank you can prepay at. Best of luck...

@BlueFlyer and @GuttormG I'm with you fellas........I think there is something else....a lotta change for 0.3 grains. I have a lot of experience with this cartridge in a Steyr Mann. I usually load 140 grainers to get up a little speed outta the stubby bbl (40 grains 4350 driving it) but would...

@BryceM Labor IS cheap. But corruption is expensive in Africa.............FWB

Try Washington DC maybe..............FWB

The bureaucracy necessary to implement this will more than eat up all profits in ANY African nation. And it certainly won't increase the number of tourists. .......FWB

Heckuva ram for Idaho..............'grats. ........FWB

Sorry to hear that the Woke govt in the UK has declared farmers to be an enemy. I hope that there is a return to more traditional values, but it won't happen soon.....if at all. I think your plan to leave is a good one..........go while you're young enough for a restart..................good...

@Joshlee0518 Do you plan to camp at your truck, or back pack in? Are you physically able to hike hard and far? Consider hunting Idaho units with timbered stringers and open hillsides, lots of areas to glass. Have a shovel, High Lift and tire chains. If you PM me, I will tell you where I would...

This was a fab offer, but the fuse was shorter than on a handgrenade.......did you find a hunter? I appreciate these short notice hunts, and one of these days, I will go.............thanks for posting........FWB
