Im pretty easy... 1. I trust a rifle that i have extensive experience with, and is in a caliber i feel is suited for my intended target. 2. I dont trust a rifle that i have limited or no experience with. I have learned borrowing rifles can cause problems in the field.

I should never have sold my AHR custom 505 Gibbs. I should have bought a CZ 550 in 458 Lott when they were still in production. I kept telling my self that id buy one later... Then they stopped making them. And yes... I should have bought into bitcoin.

You guys carrying 20+ rounds on your person must use small caliber guns. Im trying to picture myself carrying 20 cartridges for my 8-bore. :E Rofl: On my buffalo hunt i used a 505 Gibbs and carried 3 in the gun and 6 on my belt. Carrying more than 10 of these cartridges on my belt would have...

I live in WA.... They basically succeeded in taking our guns.

It would be a good idea to post a picture of the item for sale with a piece of paper with your forum name and the date written on it.

How much ammunition i take overseas depends on what im hunting and how many critters. Maybe 20-40 cartridges per gun. What i carry on my person while hunting varies. But rarely more than 10 cartridges. No need to carry extra weight.

There isnt going to be a difference in performance between 470 Capstick and 458 Lott. Which means the 470 will be a potent dg cartridge! Finding loaded ammunition may be very difficult though. Your options will either be to buy extremely expensive custom made ammunition or roll your own.

Based on your guns weight, i think that is far closer to being a correct load than the heavy DG charges some have been recommending. I dont believe your rifle is meant to be an elephant rifle. It doesnt appear to be designed for 10+ dram charges with a conical bullet. Least that is my opinion...

Wish i had seen this post earlier in the year. Im a sucker for 8-bore guns. @buckstix did you ever find a more precise load for the gun?

I know nothing about the disease. With that said, it would depend how broke and hungry i was. If the $900 lost was extremely painful and food was tight, id eat it. Otherwise, i probably wouldn't.

Looked more like he was trying to argue with a post I made 6 years ago. If I wanted to get in arguments over stuff I said in the past, I would have gotten married.

Good for you... But that post is 6 years old.

We have huge numbers of bats here! Durring the summer they will swarm our little outdoor parties, eating the mothes drawn to the light. They are fun to watch and make interesting sounds. We will see dozens over the course of the night and they will come within a few feet of people. despite how...

Found in the greener parts of north africa and the middle east, the elusive cameleon is truly a majestic animal!
