I agree, negotiating such a deal is unrealistic, however when booking my first hunt I made it very clear to the PH that I did not want him shooting my buffalo unless we were in imminent danger. He agreed, and said that is his philosophy as well. I have watched quite a few DG hunting videos...

Sad to hear this news, best wishes for a recovery that exceeds expectations. Very nice firearms, will be watching !

My Pro-Ear Classics do not have the wind noise problem. I hunted in wind conditions that buffeted me around on the shooting sticks, but no issue with wind noise. According to their website the Classic has wind noise reduction, the less expensive "Sport" does not. I like suppressors owning a...

https://proears.com/pro-fit-series/ I have these, the Pro-Fit Classics. They are AWESOME. I used them on my buffalo hunt last year as well as other hunts stateside. Custom molded to your ears so you can wear them comfortably all day. Enhance hearing until the shot goes off, then protects...

Blaser issue. Search "Blaser click". Sure, if using brand new ammunition and if the operator is sure to fully push the bolt forward they should fire every time. Blaser owners and fanboys get defensive and chalk it up to user error, and they are usually correct, however a traditional turnbolt...

My first elk hunt I experienced this, and a prime example of something that would be ethical, but illegal. I was on my first hunting trip "out west", having never hunted outside of my home state of Pennsylvania. This was 2003 I think, and I was hunting elk out of a backcountry elk camp on...

I believe Idaho enacted rifle weight restrictions (less than 16 pounds) quite a few years back in an effort to limit rifles such as 50 BMGs for hunting. I really doubt that has had much effect on long range shooting of or at game, plenty of folks are willing to shoot at long distances with...

Cool video !

I am not a Win 70 expert, nor do I have any lying around to compare. The first thought that I have is the ejector would also have to be addressed if this conversion was possible. Plunger vs standing ejectors.

I have one of the Lipseys run from the 2000s, K1A I believe was the designation. Nice little rifle.

That's interesting from a historical perspective. Makes me feel better that I am not the only one, but still don't want to abuse my brain. The funny thing about the .458 is I feel the rifle does fit me well, and is comfortable to shoot, except for the headache part. In fact after firing the...

I appreciate all the responses, keep them coming ! I think the effects of heavy recoil on the human body is not discussed enough, or at least I haven't read much on it. I think headache or not, getting hit with big rifles has some detrimental effect on the human body, and I certainly agree...

I have three .375s, the heaviest at 9.8 pounds scoped. I shoot them well and have not had issues shooting them.

I am fairly lanky with a longish neck, and I do tend to "crawl" the stock or at least place my cheek further forward than most. I will give your suggestion a shot. Videoing is a good suggestion as well, haven't done that.

I have recently purchased a very nice .458 WM ( https://www.africahunting.com/threads/custom-rifle-ranch-458-win-mag.90030/ ) , and have been shooting it a bit zeroing iron sights that I installed. I love the rifle, and feel it is built correctly for a big bore. It has a wide comb that rises...
