Yah, its a standard capped elevation and windage turret. Pick a Distance, Zero it, put the cap on, and go kill shit

Look at Bell & Carlson

You have a capped turret not a dial turret. The likelihood of you ever needing to dial with a 4x and a 416 is lower than your odds of winning the powerball. That scope wasn’t designed to be dialed and is likely 20-40 years old well before the dialing and MOA/MIL reticles became popular outside...

Johnny is great. He’s always got a bunch of cool things in his office or in back. That Watson Bros has been there for a while. I look every single time I’m there. They had an early 500NE Dominion for a while that I had to convince myself out of multiple times. I even sold a different double at...

The 12+ I have would say you’re spot on with that statement. I’ve got a shelf of Leupolds and Swaros that have been replaced by S&B’s

Beautiful rifle and love the scope choice. One of my favorite scopes. I’ve got a few in different rifles from AR’s up to DG rifles

Little update …. Continued to watch a big 10 and a very big mature 8pt on camera daily the last week at the house along with a slew of other bucks. Last night, I learned the neighbor’s oldest son (9 or 10 years old) took the big 8 as his first buck. I heard the story, saw the cell phone...

You beat me to it

They are multiple taxidermists doing replica tusks and skulls. Most of the ivory replicas are casts of the real tusks then hand painted.

The quote below is one of my favorites. It’s normally attributed to veterans but I think it can be broadly applied to Dangerous Game Hunting and more precisely those who prefer to hunt them up close and personal “You've never lived until you've almost died. For those who fought for it, life has...

That was along the lines of when I guessed he served. If you ever find a photo of his dress uniform and are curious, send it over in a PM. I’ll let you know what ear ribbon and medal is that he’s wearing and try to provide a little color on them. Depending on what your grandfather did in the...

I’d wager the statistical chance of dying in a vehicle accident is higher than dying while hunting dangerous game. Does this mean you have no business getting in a car if you have a family? I guess once you have a family you should get a work from home job and start living in a bubble only...

Glad your follow-on hunt worked out. Unfortunately you learned a tough lesson, and hopefully other AH members can learn from your mishap. The BVC is a great area and permitting there/quota is done a bit different than the concession and safari areas in Zimbabwe. I'd encourage you to do A LOT...

I shoot the Terminal Ascents out of 1 or my 308's and Federal loaded TSX's or Barnes loaded TTSX's out of my other .308. I've shot Scirocco II's, AccuBonds and 165gr Trophy Bonded Tips out of some other 308's I've owned in the past. I might be one of the few on here who believes in ALWAYS...

Based on your age, I'm guessing your grandfather was likely a veteran of WWII and Korea, possibly either WWI or Vietnam as well depending on how old he was when he had your parent and how old your parents were when they had you. Any way you slice it, he had a fair bit of experience on "Slow"...
