Sold pending funds, thanks migrabill !

There are two small blemishes on left hand side of rifle, both are pictured with pencil pointing to them. Otherwise it must be a reflection. Kinda hard to take good pics with shiny finish. Here is a pic I just took, does this include area you are describing ? And here is another pic showing...

Here is a pic that better shows the figure in the buttstock.

Here is a Remington 700 BDL 30-06 made in April of 1974 (CY date code). I am 99% sure it has never been fired. I bought it years ago in the box, no signs it had ever been fired, the plug screws were still in the receiver. I intended to shoot and hunt with it, but now that I have been bit by...

Maybe I should go this route !! Then use the leftovers on myself, my "boss" is definitely getting discolored as well.

Speaking for myself the mental preparation begins WAYYY before any given morning of the hunt. Lots of practice and drills, lots of visualization of shot scenarios. No undue stress during the hunt, just a commitment to do everything possible to not screw up.

I will give that a try, thanks ! I will test on a small area first, but that sounds like a simple and easy solution.

Here is what he looked like when shot.

I just received my buffalo skull from 2024 hunt. It actually looked better than I expected coming out of the crate. However, the horn bosses have quite a bit of discoloration. I am not sure even with close examination if the horn material itself is "bleached", or if the light colored material...

Beautiful Mauser ! If it were mine I would probably leave it as is except for mounting a conventional scope over the action. I am not one to tell someone else what to do with their rifle though unless solicited. Glad you got the feeding issues squared away.

Upon arrival in Windhoek we had a rather tight connection before leaving for Katima Mulilo in a regional jet. My gun case was MIA according to police at the Windhoek airport. I am not sure if it actually was unable to be found, or if they were fishing for a tip. I was able to show that my gun...

Yes, used them in October of '24 going to Namibi. They worked well inside my plastic SKB gun case and in my checked ammunition bag. Definitely will continue using them.

No, you are not. Everytime I go to any gunstore and see vast racks of plastic and aluminum I get depressed and wish I could step back in time to my youth when a synthetic stock was a rarity, guns were blue, and scopes were gloss.
