    Popularity of 12 gauge shotguns

    That's great! If you can afford it, TSK makes the best adjustable stock IMO. There are a few more affordable stocks out there, and some are pretty good, but I don't remember the names. Sorry. Some of my schools have short LOP shotguns that are loaned or sold to younger shooter's parents...

    6.5 PRC for plains game?

    I don't have one, but with good bullets, it should be fine. IME, most PH's are fantastic guides and hunters, but are a bit "old school" when it comes to cartridges. With that being said, go with what your PH recommends. Back in 2007, I asked at least 6 PH's (around the campfire at night)...

    home libraries, please show

    Mostly hunting & fishing. Sorry, but things are really messy right now. And my current read... If I would quit watching stupid YouTube videos, I could probably add back 10 IQ points!

    Popularity of 12 gauge shotguns

    I work with over a thousand middle and high school clay target shooters each year. Nearly all of them (boys & girls) shoot a 12 gauge. It's all about gun fit.

    question on 450/400

    Kevin P is the local expert on this cartridge... I use a .470 NE in a DR and a .416 Rigby in a BA.

    One choke for a noob shooter

    A Modified is the most versatile choke, if you have to use a fixed choke. Any shot on a Skeet Range can be made with an Improved Cylinder. Trap - Modified Sporting Clays - it all depends on the range specific shot presentation.

    Warthog Baboon Leopard I saw a gemsbok run through a high fence like it wasn't even there.

    Planning for my Trip

    For me, planning and anticipation is a wonderful part of the African hunting experience. IME: 1. Multiple harvests can be packed together, just don't complicate things by putting more than one name on anything. 2. Air is the only thing I've ever done, but its always worked out well. 3. I doubt...

    Hornady bullets

    I know for a fact that a DGX will slay a buffalo with one shot.

    The best movie ever made (IMHO) - RIP Robert Redford

    Jaws was the best movie ever made, but RR had some good ones. RIP, Mr. Redford. (When I hunt with my friends in Wyoming, we always watch Jemimah Johnson. It's part of our "ritual") Read "Crow Killer," if you want the real story. "Liver-Eating" Johnson had no love for the Crows...

    Politics

    I know the Norse mythology, and I thought that maybe the case, but I think the Director of the FBI should have had a better and more professional public response. I still think it was weird. Charlie was an evangelical protestant Christian. I think Charlie would have been offended and would...

    Looking for walk and stalk plains game hunt

    IMO, many RSA companies would accommodate your request. I've hunted with this outfit with my favorite hunting buddy. https://www.adansonia.co.za/ He did, exactly what you want to do. I hunted with my wife, and she wasn't into walking 20 miles a day, so we found game from a Land Cruiser...
