    Kazakhstan in consideration / mountain tips

    Has anyone ever hunted here? I went to Hungary a little over 2 years ago and hunted with a gent under suggestion of @UKHunter. While there, George had mentioned that he'd like to hunt Ibex the same as I. I've spent the last two years thinking about what to do for the next hunt trip. @gizmo is...

    After a week with my family I haven't seen in months visited, they returned home yesterday. We saw Verona, Venice, Vicenza; then had a road trip into Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland; then came back by way of Stelvio Pass. Had a great visit with them. The time has come for my...

    What's so great about this site anyway?

    Well, that's a question with so many varied answers. I ask that we start up a discussion about the things that we like the best from our time and experiences on the AMAZING AH forums!

    Brighten your day, or someone else's

    Just to give you a smile today!! So my fun today started at the zoo. As I was leaving the Zoo, I start running towards the parking lot, yelling "Run for your lives, they're loose!" The looks on those folks face was priceless. Try it! No one is listening until you make a mistake. Always...

    Suppressed 300 WM

    Has anyone got a tested and true recipe for this? I'm off work until the end of the year, prior to that Italian job. I thought I'd give a go at reloading some, but I don't have a chrono for testing what I come up with. A quick search shows my R8 had a 1:11 twist. Thanks for the help!

    I'm going to be in Italy for the next year, and plan to get at least one hunt in at some point. If it is earlier in the year, I'd like to bring the meat back home with me. Do any of you know if this is a possibility? I'm not settled on quarry or country yet. I won't be taking rifle with me...

    Refurbished, warranted optics

    Finally got the new boom stick

    I'm not at all impressed with the customer service of Witt Machine, but overall the upper receiver is very nice. The lower is from Sharps Bros and is called The Jack. Vortex SPARC AR red dot.
