    Forum group buy for a knife

    A big shout out to Von Gruff. I received my Bushcraft Hunter (Swamp Kauri handle and Buffalo Horn Bolsters) yesterday. It's even better in person than the pictures show. I am planning on taking the knife with me to Tanzania in 5 days. Thanks again for a quick turnaround....

    Forum group buy for a knife

    @rookhawk Nothing like a little first hand experience and recommendations to gin up business.....As I am purchasing one of Garry's knives, and after you recommend this particular strop bat from JRE Enterprises, I went online and purchased one. Apparently, so did several of you.....:LOL: See...

    Forum group buy for a knife

    OK. I think I’m reading you correctly that you want to limit the choices and options to make it cost effective versus unlimited options that would make it too difficult from an expense and time standpoint? If that’s not what you’re saying I apologize for being so dense. It’s been a long day. I...

    Forum group buy for a knife

    @Von Gruff If we end up doing a group buy, I'll take ONE of the Bushcraft Hunter knives with the Swamp Kauri handle scale upgrade with the buffalo horn bolsters. I would like a Horizontal Cross Draw leather sheath as well. Just let me know how to handle payment (assuming PayPal like your...

    Forum group buy for a knife

    @Von Gruff I've been meaning to purchase a knife from you for a while, but just keep forgetting to pull the trigger. I really like the Bushcraft Hunter knife that Rookhawk mentioned. I would be interested in purchasing one of those, but with a Swamp Kauri handle and Buffalo Horn Bolster...

    450 Rigby vs 458 Lott

    @CTDolan Originally, that was my thinking on the Partition as well. I had even considered seeing if I could get the 286 grain A-frames to shoot to the same POI as the 286 Partitions just so I could shoot the A-frame at bigger plains game animals. But the more I read about the Partition's...

    450 Rigby vs 458 Lott

    That's good to hear. How have your Partitions held up in Africa? That will be the primary bullet I use for the majority of my safari in Tanzania this August. I'm shooting 286 grain (9.3mm) Partitions from my 9.3x62. The reason I chose that instead of my usual Barnes TSX bullets is that in...

    450 Rigby vs 458 Lott

    It's hard to find a better bullet than the A-frame as I'm sure you and your friend can testify to.....I figured it was one of the premium bonded or mono-metal bullets. It would have been really neat to see how well that A-frame held together, and subsequently how far it penetrated, from a...

    450 Rigby vs 458 Lott

    @WAB I would say a smart idea.... Just curious....Do you remember what softs your partner was using in his 375 H&H Magnum when he shot the cow?

    450 Rigby vs 458 Lott

    @Pheroze, To me the biggest advantage as far as reloading the 450 Rigby versus a belted cartridge such as the 458 Lott and for that matter, the 460 Weatherby, is avoiding the belt. I always FL resize my dangerous game rounds and as far as the belt goes, you inevitably will get the slight...

    450 Rigby vs 458 Lott

    @WAB How I missed this from before I don’t know, but holy cow! What a story. I’m set to hunt Africa for the first time (Tanzania) this August. While I’m a big lover of adventure, I would prefer this did not happen...[emoji12] I’m glad your friends, and the PH, were not harmed because like...

    450 Rigby vs 458 Lott

    @TOBY458 I’m not sure what your budget is, but Wayne Jacobson over at American Hunting Rifles has 3 pre-owned 458 Lotts for sale over on his website. Both look like nice guns. Two of them are his full-on custom DGR and one actually comes with a Leupold scope set in Talley rings. The other is...

    My new AHR DGR in 404 Jeffery is in the way.....

    I'm back to report on my load development for my AHR DGR CZ 550 Magnum Rifle in 404 Jeffery. It's taken me a while to get back to the range since I posted the results of my load development with the North Fork 0.423, 400 grain Semi-Spitzer (SS) Bonded Bullets (Softs). I've been working a lot...

    No more Yeti's for me

    Whether Yeti wants to acknowledge it or not, they are being identified with the corporations who have actively and publicly cut ties with the NRA...... http://fortune.com/2018/04/23/yeti-coolers-cuts-ties-with-nra-boycott-complete-list/...
