Front to back, unless I am purposefully using a different bullet in the left barrel.

If they are both built in the same factory in GERMANY, I would go for the Mauser. A Rigby built in Germany????

My favorite multitool is a Victorinox Swiss Tool X. But, I would rather have a Victorinox Champion knife & and big, strong tactical folder. I have pliers in every vehicle that I drive, so I don't need to carry an extra pair of pliers.

My "grand niece" found my Benchmade Adamas today. Life is back on track!

My taxidermy philosophy is to do Euro mounts on everything except for my best specimen of a particular species, unless there's a great story to tell. I have a shoulder mount of very unimpressive 6-point White-tailed deer. The reason I had a shoulder mount done was that he was completely...

Rowland Ward is the "gold standard" and takes into account greatest overall spread and "tip to tip" spread. https://rowlandward.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rowland-Ward-Method-12-a-Cape.pdf SCI does too, but it is much easier to "make the book," with SCI methodology...

I wish them the best, but I'm not one who buys a rifle until it's "tried and true."

Elephant now. It was Cape Buffalo until I got one in 2021, but I would definitely hunt another!

If limited to one, the Victorinox Champion would be my only knife. Mine even killed an Impala 5 year's ago. Victorinox no longer makes the Champion, but you can find them on eBay every now and then.

I carry two knives everyday. A Victorinox Champion in my right pocket A Benchmade Adamas in a cargo pocket or clipped to wherever I can find a place on my right side. After at least 15 years, I lost my Adamas a few weeks ago, so I am carrying a Gerber 06 Auto drop point, until I find my...

I've got a stainless/synthetic .338 Win Mag and a .340 Weatherby Mag (scoped bolt actions) to use when I have a chance at a coastal grizzly, however, I believe your choice of rifle/cartridge should be just fine. Get your guide's input. My black bear succumbed to an arrow within 30 yards of...

Welcome! I've had excellent luck with auctioned hunts. Maybe, you will also.
