    .375 should be banned from buffalo hunts!

    I think he was actually posting trying to stir the pot and get some PM’s. To which he can offer some hunts/deals generating some potential clients without sponsoring/marketing. Same thing with some of the social media posts. We’ve all heard the saying “All publicity is good publicity”

    What bolt action rifle do you regret buying

    I won a Christensen from a raffle (so didn’t even buy it). Had nothing but issues and traded/sold it. Should’ve picked one of the other guns that had a much lesser value and the Christensen.

    Reloader 16 ???

    I’ve used RL16 in a 470 with success. I’ve been looking for RL15 myself to try in a 450NE 3-1/4”, but haven’t been able to find any local. I know where there’s a good bit of RL15.5, but there’s not as much reloading data on it so I haven’t grabbed any.

    AH Get Together El Campo Texas, October 18th 2025

    @Mark Biggerstaff put me down for a maybe. I should know better the 1st week of the month. @Tbitty I’m in DFW on the 17th and might be able to make something on @Bob Nelson 35Whelen route since I’m driving to Aggieland as well. The time will be the deciding factor for me on that.

    Using TSA approved locks on Gun case or Ammunation case

    I travel with 2 TSA locks in my gun case and 4 key or combination locks. Ammo case gets 1 of each and into my checked bag. Only issue I’ve had was my last trip to Zambia (through Newark) were I had the key locks cut and a TSA inspection card inserted into my gun case.

    Where have all the Swift A-Frames Gone?

    You’re 100% right he has a right to stay where he is, but him not increasing his production doesn’t mean he’s disappointing his customers. He’s a business owner trying to make a profit and at the end of the day if he thought making more of something was smart he’d likely do it because he’s a...

    Where have all the Swift A-Frames Gone?

    Going to play devils advocate, but why don’t you move to him and start working there? You’re asking him to bear the financial burden of relocation when things are near their highest in terms of cost. What if he doesn’t want to move, to take away one of the only businesses in the area, and...

    Where have all the Swift A-Frames Gone?

    Difference is Mona is near Provo/SLC. 80% of Utah’s population is within 1 hour of SLC which includes Mona. Quinter is almost the exact middle between Denver, CO and Kansas City, MO. There’s no commuting from a larger city.

    Where have all the Swift A-Frames Gone?

    Several things 1) Barnes is a significantly larger company than Swift and is jointly owned with Sierra. 2) Swift bullets are made in Quinter, KS. It’s a much smaller town, with a smaller demographic to draw labor from and Bill has come out and said they’ve been challenged with labor/employees...

    The 375HH may not be "ALL THAT" for African Plains Game

    I’ll say it again a little louder, if you think the .375 isn’t a good round for PG as you eluded to in your initial post, you’ve had more than one instance of poor shot placement. We all make bad shots but you now have 4 pages (I’m sure to be more) telling you it’s not the caliber, it’s not the...

    Safari boots and brands !!!

    In my opinion the best boot they ever made was their Sawtooths. I had a couple pairs of them and of the original MOABs that I wore overseas. I’m down to one pair of and can’t bring myself to toss them even though they’re both pretty chewed up. Salomon’s also seem to have lost some of the...
