I don't have to ask for specific terms. If I damage a borrowed rifle, I will pay for repairs or replace it. I can afford it. It's what I'd expect if I let someone use my rifle. The rental eventually will wear out. Outfitter will then need to replace it. That eventuality will be covered by...

You can find an old thread of mine that will point you to who to avoid. The last two safaris I have had good luck with "Hunters & Collectors" but I only order skulls and hides. Kevin does just what I ask. Nicely bleached and not overcooked. A few front teeth were lost but that's not unusual...

Do you just make this shit up? I never said anything about the FBI going after Trump. That would be Congress's job per the Constitution. Can't recall that I've ever weighed in on any discussion about "Russian collusion" whatever that is. FBI doesn't prosecute anyone. Not their job. They...

Thanks. Means a lot coming from you.. You've been along for the ride from the beginning when I picked "Puppy" up almost fifteen years ago. Back then we were traveling together on a different forum. Seems like yesterday. Things look like they are progressing quickly. I'll get her to a...

I refused to use my outfitter's designated taxidermist for third and fourth safaris. No problem. But it was a bit awkward when the taxidermist showed up at the salt shed during my third safari to pick up a load when I was there. I blasted their horrible work on this forum and it didn't go over...

More pettiness from the Coward in Chief abusing his authority. Just can't take criticism. What a baby. And him calling Sen Kelley a "seditious traitor" after what Trump said and did during the January 6th riot is pot calling the kettle black...

The concern for me is the govt will "adjust" the evidence the FBI seized to support Trump's silly stolen election nonsense.

Cancer is back. Sounds like she's not going be as lucky this time.

The "conviction" was in Yemen. He maintains his "confession" was obtained via torture. Given it was in Yemen, the claim of torture being used is not totally unbelievable. Of course he doesn't stand a chance of winning the election. Just a novel way of grandstanding the plight of...

I have to ask the OP, "How old are you?" Once we get past fifty, eyesight typically deteriorates rapidly. It is not fair to game for an aged hunter to be pushing the envelope with bad eyes and iron sights. Might be a couple of reasons why your Ruger feels better with irons. 1) The scope you...

I suggest looking at the striker sear for shiny wear spots in specific areas. If it's been machined a bit on the thick side, it may bind up when it enters the channel in the tang as the bolt is being drawn back and then again when bolt is cycled forward. Go ahead and thin the sides of sear a...

Thanks. I am in Canada so that makes a difference. I was told by a taxidermist in Toronto that the stuff will move through customs quicker because it is classed as personal effects vs commercial goods if broker does it.

Oops. Misread your post. Good luck. Hope you can find someone.

I'm heading to Eastern Cape in August. Three skulls from 2023 are still at the taxidermist in Port Elizabeth (not entirely their fault). I'm hoping to bring them back as checked baggage if doable. Anybody tried this? It's a gemsbuck, impala, and springbuck. The gemsbuck is a respectable...

Really hard to believe they would be that stupid. Hopefully not "yellow journalism."
