Good job 450 Dakota. Very nice rifle and a good explanation of how these scopes can add to your capabilities.

I would not buy that scope for a hunting rifle. I have no first hand knowledge or experience with that brand, but wouldn’t trust it on a hunt. Maybe on a range toy AR. Nothing with any recoil. For the folks with little experience with FFP reticles, take a look at these pictures. This is...

The front screw spacing was standard. The rear appears to have originally been a single screw from the factory. At some point, a second screw hole was added exactly .5” behind (or in front of) the original and all the holes opened up to #8s. Everything is working out now though. We will...

The stock is definitely not like truck bed lining, although it does look like that. It is a very hard textured surface over a composite mesh material. Similar to the gray composite fiber that is common on current stocks. Yes, the NF is a true 1x. it is a first focal plane scope, so the...

I believe the stock is a Brown Precision, but not positive. The rifle came with that stock when I purchased it.

Notice the absence of A-frames. I may have to load some 250gr Sierras for plinking

Thank you everyone. The scope base was a challenge. I had to bring the rifle to a local smith to mill the base. The 1950 magnum length action done’s not have a standard screw spacing so we went with something close and modified it. After some range time, I may pull the scope rail and mill...

Just finished up the assembly of my future DG rifle. 1950 Win Model 70, Krieger barrel, 375h&h. NF NX8 1-8 with illuminated reticle. Now, we need Swift to put out some A-Frames.

Call Chris Harlow. I don’t know if he will take the job, but he is top notch. I’ll send you a PM

Marius, I’m a forgiving type of fella. I’ll let you make it up to me! John, you and Lucy set the bar very high. I hope to do nearly as well as you guys did. I absolutely love your animals and your hunting report. I go back every few weeks and re-read it.

That’s something I would say….. Just mean.

Are you still checking game cams over the summer? It would be cool to see what made it through 2021.

How tall are you? The most common tripod I have seen folks use is the manfrotto 190/290 series. It is tall enough for guys 6’ tall and under. Works good for standing and is light enough. Same with the Slik 634 and 734. If you are 6’1” or taller, you might want to look at the manfrotto...

Wow! That warthog and bushbuck double is amazing. What an incredible day for client and PH.

JES, thank you for taking the time to write up your adventures and your willingness to share them here with us. I along with many others truly enjoy your hunts.

That Black and Tan is still wanting to get at the cat! That hound sure looks like an American pup.

Swarovski SLC 15x56 on a tripod is the gold standard for Coues. Then carry a pair of 8s or 10s for getting closer or for elk in the timber. You made a wise choice.

My CRPF rifle was the original coyote with the brown laminate stock not the newer coyote lite….

I owned a 2002 era CRPF coyote lite, chambered in 7mmWSM. I bought it to be a donor but never built on it and sold it. The rifle fed and extracted just fine. No issues for the short fat case. By the time you put the money into the action, you could have built off of a custom or a more...

“Prince Marius” has a nice ring to it. I will gladly send you bank funds for a giant bushbuck. A proper chief for your last remaining relative.

I used them last fall on a number of animals. They performed perfectly. 6.5 PRC with the 124gr Hammer Hunter, ADG brass and RL-26. Very fast, very accurate, and they were as easy to load as any bullet in the past. I have nothing but praise for the product and owners.

That impala is truly spectacular. Absolute giant.

That all depends on his political views or vaccine status. Both of which needs to be looked into further…..

That’s a great Florida buck! Congratulations.

Wow, this should be epic.

I loaded and shot the hammers last fall. Super fast and easy to find an accurate load. We shot 2 animals with Barnes and 3 with Hammers. I’ll continue to use the hammers. Best performance I’ve had with a solid copper bullet, and probably the most accurate bullet regardless of design. I am...

Congratulations on such a fine safari and spectacular animals. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us.

Unless the rifle doesn’t shoot accurately, and needs re-regulated at the range. Then we should hit it with a hammer. Got it. Disclosure: I’ve never shot or owned a double, so don’t listen to my conclusions.

Congrats Daktari. I’m very glad you’re finding the hunting life rewarding. Looking forward to your report.

51% of the time this is the correct solution for all things. I have no idea if that applies with doubles though.

Thanks for this opportunity! The group hunt has the makings of a great time.

Man, that sure looks like Southern NM or West Texas. Great sheep.

Super cool. Almost as cool as the unicorn bongo.

Everything except German. Tough as nails. 1x red dot and 8x for long shots on plains game. 1-8x24, FFP too Not very traditional though.

Good luck! I look forward to your success and you sharing it with us. Thank you for taking us along.

This warms my heart. I thought I was performing the necessary duties as a fellow enabler, but you need no such pressure!

Now that the SAA situation is somewhat settled, the only thing left to do is send KMG a deposit for 2022….. And booking on anyone other than Virgin will send that Branson fella a loud message.

The Savage Rascal has a great trigger and the bolt lift is light enough that a kid can work the bolt. You can get the stock in his favorite color too. A small pic rail is available from EGW, in order to mount a small red dot. We have one rascal that we left in the peep configuration and...

Oh man, that sucker needs to make a trip to Hobby Lobby and come back framed and matted. We have some straight up international criminals amongst us!

Tell us about this intriguing GP location and the critters around the area. Welcome Aboard.

Outstanding trip sir. I like how JV2’s pictures add to the overall feel of the terrain and scenery. I am really amazed at how similar it looks to AZ/NM. Thanks for taking the time to share your hunt with us. Please tell us more about your rifle.

Ha! As my good friend says, “Landrovers are like women, nice to look at but there’s either something wrong or about to go wrong with them”

I’m starting to think Charles doesn’t like our advice or maybe he’s enjoying the back and forth…..

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful adventure. I think my favorite part was the visit from Kevin P. Great hunt.

Charles, has your grandson been shooting 22lr and a lighter recoiling centerfires, such as a 223/243 already? If he has already developed good trigger control, follow through and is solid on field positions, then the next step to a 7mm-08 or 308 should be easy. If cow elk is on the menu, I’d...

I think it’s a very good topic for discussion. Very interesting responses from both sides.
