This isn't a project, it's not paid for by the government or sanctioned. These were neighbors from 10-100(s) of miles away making time and risking their livelihoods and lives to build a road so people could get back to their homes or what left of their property from over a month ago. They...

Campfire anecdotes from a previous era. These stories linger on ignoring decades of advancement in bullet and powder tech. There's always going to be operator errors and/or mechanical issues that will arise, but no different now than any DG cartridge. The 458 Win is as formidable as most.

In any effort to divert attention away from a trolling member... Let's give it up to the WV miners. Getting a passable thruway into Chimney Rock in a matter of days was no easy feat. Still a long road ahead of the impacted areas, but the comradery shared between the people of Appalachia is a...

Mine dropped in its tracks at less than 20 yards. What baffles me most owning and hunting with a 460 Wby is the larger than life tall tales it has garnered. Follow the rules of any big bore. Make sure the rifle fits you, make sure you can handle it, and practice correct form. The 460 Wby is...

Very sorry to hear this news. His knowledge and experiences were, and will remain, a treasure to all African hunters. Though grieving now, I hope, and know, his family will continue on and I will smile seeing the @Tokoloshe Safaris posts continue Lon's legacy.

General Milley lost a lot of respect with the Afghanistan withdrawal and the decision to abandon equipment. Trump has a sound bite going around on that subject that is hard to disagree with. Now, years later, the equipment left is being seen conpletely operational in China, and in the hands of...

There has been a lot of research done on the 416 B&M and 458 B&M. Probably more done on the 416 and 458 in modern projectiles side by side than any if the large manufactures in both test media and in field. Michael's testing over the years is likely one of the best resources for 416 vs 458...

@michael458 would be the one to confirm here. I believe I have seen data on the 416 B&M going 60+ inches of penetration and the 458 getting 40+. That said, I'm sure he has done tests on the dame media and can offer more controlled results.

I was in Canton, NC last week Weds-Sat. Luckily got out Saturday over the mountains but unfortunately had to leave our friends we were staying with as four extra mouths to feed with no power and no cell service was not a hardship I would put on them. Watching it unfold in person real time was...

Mark Robinson was propelled to a political status he was never meant for. I lived outside Greensboro and remember when the famous meeting happened that thrust him into spotlight. It was unfortunate that Dan Forest didn't beat Cooper in '20, but then again NC has only had 1 GOP governor in how...

No, it unfortunately won't. I manufacture and sell products to both the aforementioned retailers among many others. I have never seen them decrease retails based on currency fluctuations. Rather, larger retailers demand a portion of the exchange rate variance if not it entirely to keep your...

Because 16 is for the cool kids... :cool::ROFLMAO:

I shoot a Franchi Instinct SL in 16 gauge almost exclusively during upland season. This will be my 3rd season with it and I have been extremely happy. Only days it's not carried is when it's extremely wet. For a production gun as long as it fits, it's a great choice. My brother bought a 12...

Always been a fan of the 500 A2. That said, I've love to see that 495 A2 when you're finished @USMA84DAB !

Driving back to camp at the conclusion of the hunt in the Save in Zim we passed a watering hole. An Elephant herd had been there and took to the trees as soon as we came into sight. While passing, a large Cow with what may have been a dependent calf came back out trumpeting. We were more than...

Auto correct...should have read old "non-bonded" I'm betting you make sure your thumbs are extra dry when you do... :ROFLMAO:

Certainly unsettling! I would bet that entire box and lot may have been the old bonded.

My thoughts as well. It has the exact remnant look of every non bonded bullet fragments I've pulled. @ActionBob was this yours that you bought as new Bonded?

Wow, fantastic hunt and congrats!

Out of all the debauchery that we have read happened on this hunt. The above is what should be most alarming. A business owner insulted with profanity and attempted to physically assault a client. There is no excuse for this. The two new members posts are exactly as @dchum mentioned above...

I'll take lot #1. PM inbound

Congrats on a great start to your first hunt over!

Congrats on a fine start to your hunt!

Best of luck! The Save is a special place.

They've sold for $350-$450 lately. Used but like new with box & covers, closer to $375-$400.

Congrats! Wayne and his guys are a machine at getting cats in the salt!

Decorum. Next to the expertise here, its next main contributor to why I enjoy AH so much. Be polite and be thorough. Never assume questions are anything but information gathering to help understand the situation and help others with potential similar situations.

Congrats Oscar! I hope many smooth cigars and calm evenings come this summer for you!

It's yours @HuntingGold , just shoot me a PM when your back. No rush. SPF

$315 shipped...Somebody needs a new rifle build project! :D

Used one on Buffalo in a 460 Wby at 2500 fps. Higher lung hit but he ran maybe 50 yards before dropping and then a finishing shot. Very happy with their performance.

All items are SPF. And boy did I need to spell check this post for auto correct..."braider paranoid slings"... :ROFLMAO:

Few things lying around that came from previous places of employment that need to go. 2 Heavy Hauler braider paranoid slings. Both new, one still in packaging one not. With swivels, 42" length, brown & tan colored. $25 shipped each Carvel Hall reproduction Bowie collectors item on...

Let's go $330 shipped!

What a bruiser! I'm going back for Hippo and Croc with Wayne in '25 but can't wait to go for Mr. Spots!

Upland Gun Company has them. Pretty much al la cart options. Been eyeing them for a bit: https://uplandguncompany.com/product/zeus-case-harden-single-trigger/

Rifle came in on trade and I disassembled it as barrel was not original nor was the stock. Long action, originally chambered in 30-06 and retains same bolt face. Guessing 1965-67 based on 6 digit serial number 3XXXXX. Early style saftey with bolt lock. Early trigger (non 40X with adjustment...

@Angelo_orygun , one in your arena. Hopefully Angelo is around and can chime in. Thermal is quite literally his world.

Backing up @WAB . For the scope to separate, the front ring may have had an issue being the rear seats in the notch on a CZ integral mount. Scopes can always have failures, but that failure while mounted is extremely odd. That said, Leupold will make it right.

Need to get to Limpopo and hunt as soon as your up and around...."Limb-No-Mo Mike" kinda fits. Truly, get thru rehab and live your life man. I'm sure theres a line of family and friends who count their blessings daily your still with then. We're rooting for you.

I ordered one in on an industry program. Cycled the bolt twice and sold it for what I paid semi immediately. I'd take a turn bolt over the Impulse any day. However, still waiting for the right R8.

Another vote for Axil. Hearing "don't shoot" is equally as important as "shoot". These are a worth while investment.

My 460 is sub 11 lbs scoped and unloaded and with mo brake I handle it well. I've written here numerous times echoing Pierre that the brake is what gave the 460 a bad name. If you can wield the 460, it's is a truly a magnificent and versatile beast. Nothing you don't already know. I shot...

Very exciting! What block and which PH will you be with?

Do keep in mind your regulation needs as not all factory ammo will work. If you load, even better. Or, you can have the rifle re-regulated to a load if your choice. But to beat the dead horse "deader"...no softs for the Ele.

Just tagging in to see how the hunt is coming along!

No less than $1800, but $2250-$2500 is fair asking price to start.

Definitely not a "parts" gun, but assembled at the arsenal from parts from various production runs. Type 2 slide markings. Notice how the run the full length of the slide stop Type 3 above, notice how it stops before the end of the slide stop Type 2 slides stopped after 1,015,000. Type...

I hunted the Save Valley in mid August and thought it was about perfect. Cool nights and comfortable days that did not get too warm.

I think you're right with a armory parts gun. The slide looks like the type 2, but frame is a type 3 serial #.
