Very thankful. Received a donation to my reloading efforts today. He couldn’t find the .458 dies he was going to give me, so he purchased a brand new set. Couldn’t believe the generosity. Pretty excited.

Congratulations! Seems like they’re trying to California my Texas by the day.

Never had thought of a 9.3. Looking at GunBroker, there seem to be a bunch of new Sauers around the $1k mark. Any thoughts on them?

A color case Merkel double rifle in .30-06. Was at Gibson’s in Weatherford, Texas for $4k. I asked to look at the .410 SxS to which I was quickly corrected. I hadn’t seen a double in person, much less one in a smaller caliber. About a year later we had a table at the gun show and I was asked to...

I had that same Beretta shotgun. It is one of a few I wish I had not sold.

Congratulations! Good luck!

Like the jeweled bolt. Looks like the barrel says .458 Win Mag.

This seems like it might be of interest to someone in this thread. I’ve had a good transaction with the seller. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/952943601

First Stop always has an inventory of nice rifles. They must be fairly priced because they never last long.

Get well soon!

Nice rifle, but I guess everyone has a different idea of what “excellent condition” means. Rust/pitting isn’t “excellent condition” to me.

Define the “right one”. Maybe we can help.

May be a bit high, but you pay for having the box, case candy, and rings.

If you ever want to sell the rifle, the 375 H&H will sell faster and bring better money.

It was a very nice rifle. I’d like to give it a try without the Zeiss scope.

My gf had an F-150 Limited with the EcoBoost. Beautiful truck but I agree. The engine and engine installation have design problems.

A friend ordered an F350 dually. Waited 2 years, $93k. The dealer told him they would give him $140k if he wouldn’t pick it up. He turned it down. Needed for work. My girlfriend’s dad has a diesel 2500. Paid $61k. Drives a ton. 9 months later with 66k miles on it, the dealer offered him $63k...

Your own plane is always preferable to renting. You could pull the wings and container it over.

An experimental aircraft doesn’t have an ICAO conforming airworthiness certificate. To fly it in another country one would have to obtain permission from that country’s aviation authority. There are some countries that won’t give permission. I believe France is one of them.

No. Not yet. Have all the requirements. Just have to do a little refresher and take the check ride. 385TT.

South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, Zambia, and Tanzania are on the list. How long did it take to get your SA license? Was it easy to rent an airplane for flying into other countries? I’ve had trouble here getting an overnight rental here at times. Did you take firearms with you? Any...

Has anyone in the AH community flown themselves in or between countries in Africa in General Aviation aircraft? If so, could you please provide me information on where and what you flew? Back country or big airports? What were the procedures, etc.? Any tips? I’m a SEL Private Pilot. Thank you.

Not kidding. That’s what the video reported.

Rest In Peace. Condolences.

There’s a VX-3HD now. https://www.leupold.com/vx-3hd-2-5-8x36-cds-zl-duplex

In more ways than one… It was on the first list. Guess my cut and paste skills need some work.

Not a fan of Weatherby rifles, the bore rifles are obsolete, and agree that .600 NE is overkill…but here is an updated list. 4 bore 6 bore 8 bore .700ne .600ne .577ne .500ne .470ne .450ne .500/465 .500/450 .500/416 10.57 Meteor (Lazzeroni) .577 Tyrannosaur .505 Gibbs .500 Jeffery .470...

You are correct. The OP and I have a .416 Rigby and a .458 Lott, so I didn’t add those or their equivalents to the list. The .416 Remington only made it because I would like an m70 version. I started the list to figure out in relation to what I have, what would be more powerful or fill any...

Welcome! Congratulations on your safari! Btw…Bwana Moja says you can’t use the term “Dark Continent”. Bahaha.

I have thought of making a post on Safari rifle calibers. Since you asked, here is what I have so far…I’m sure other can add to the list. .577ne .500ne .470ne .450ne .500/465 .500/450 .500/416 .450/400 .585 Nyati .505 Gibbs .500 Jeffery .450 Rigby .425 Westley Richards .416 Remington .375...

No. I don’t think it is a proper response and I don’t think it is a ridiculous question. I do try to be understanding though and to a guy that has sold 7k firearms on GI and is/believes themselves to be an above board dealer it might be insulting. I wouldn’t do business with someone who sent...

Not that I recall, but I also understand the response of the seller. I have 2 ads up selling rifles on a local site right now and I’m tired of the ridiculous questions. He has 661 current ads.

That is a very nice rifle you posted. Maybe something like that would bring the gun market back to wood stocks from the tacticool set.

In all fairness to Toby, I have purchased 3 “as new” rifles this year. In all of those transactions I asked a very similar question and was told there were no defects. Only one of those three did the rifle come as described.

It was a gorgeous weekend. I had a great time meeting you and walking the gun show. Thank you for the hospitality. Maybe our next North Texas meet-up should be at the gun range?

I doubt I’ll ever make it to a military mess.

Thank you, Mr. Leoni. It was a pleasure to meet you.

You know better than I, but I was told that it must go separately. Like everything else, I’m sure it goes with who you get and their interpretation at the time.

You gun case is one checked bag, your ammo case is the other. Both must be checked.

I won’t own another Kimber…

If you’re taking Delta, from reading on this site and Delta regulations: 1 gun case not to exceed 50lbs., 1 ammo case not to exceed 11 lbs. with case, 1 carry-on with clothing, 1 personal item (backpack, etc.) with electronics/scopes/optics. It starts at $350 for the extra bag…

If you draw your pistol, you shoot it.

I’m in! 1pm Sunday. Perfect.

This looks like a smokin’ deal. Here’s the gunsinternational and their website link. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/winchester-rifles/winchester-70-alaskan.cfm?gun_id=102074212...

I have this old and ugly 12ga as a home defense shotgun. Cut it down to 18.5” with a Ridgid steel pipe pipe cutter and reamed the end. Might consider cutting down the 555 if you’re going to use it for self defense.

Mark IV is a nice pistol, but I would not consider it for a cry once felon stopper. WOOOOOO!!!

My most accurate pistol is a S&W Model 29 .44 Mag with a 6.5” barrel. 50 yards accurate. Is this something you’re planning to carry with you? If you’d like to shoot some pistols, I’m in Fort Worth…

I misspoke with grams vs grains. Context… I get that they are ways to “play” with the round and that is exactly what I suspected. Thanks for the useful replies.

Frisco Gun Club has an indoor 100 yard rifle range.
