12 inch hunter barrel so 2 inches of it is a brake. It wears a 2-7 Burris scope. That combination has accounted for a lot of game animals.

Pulled my GP100 out last week and headed for the range. We both shoot pretty good. Since we now need to take a refresher course and qualify on a target for our CC cards now in Colorado I figured that I needed to see how I can shoot. But I'm debating on what to take for the shooting part. My...

I had three inches of sprung spring in my yard today at noon. A friend's orchard was pretty much wiped out by a freeze in Utah. I haven't heard how the orchards in western Colorado faired yet.

On my last hunt I considered renting a rifle from the outfitter. Then I figured that by the time that I rented it and purchased the ammo I might as well just bring my own along and hire Henry to take care of the permits. It's always better looking at your trophy and knowing that you shot it...

If you are handy with tools and like making things take a look at what is available on the web or stores. Then make it yourself. Even just a folding table and a couple sandbags work quite well.

I just take a Colman camp stove stand and place a carpeted piece of 2'x3' plywood or USB on top of it. Then use a folding chair to sit on. It's quite sturdy and all the pieces except for the top have other uses.

I had video of my first hunt including a day hunting with cheetahs where we followed a pair as they actually hunted for food. They ended up taking down two springbok's, all on the video. I haven't looked at the videos in 10 years.

Have you posted this over on the Ruger forums, they may be able to help

Pictures, pictures, and more pictures. If I go back that is what I plan on doing unless someone that I know wants a warthog, zebra rug, or anything else. I'm in the process of putting together a couple of pictures and story books, on for each trip. In them I'll have the story athe animal, what...

If you don't find any I have 4 of that style Let me know, I have no idea what shipping would be On the lid it has MFG 112 / 416

I'd do it without a question. At most I've heard of a delay in getting there but that's it. Airlines and airports keep a pretty good watch on rifle cases. Nothing better than shooting game with your own rifle.

On my last trip I asked this question to my importer. They told me that they have a USDA certified warehouse where primates and swine would go through to be inspected and then sent on to me without having to go to a certified taxidermist or tannery. Both my baboon skull and warthog skull and...

Take a look at Boyd's for a wood stock. I've been thinking of getting one for my Weatherby for when I retire it and it becomes a safe queen.

The problem with hunting those other animals that Mexico offers on their northern ranches is that you'll wait possibly decades to draw the tag or tags here in the US.

No problems within the US
