Got a call from Matt Otten (Otten Brothers Taxidermy, Pipe Creek, Texas) earlier in the week, indicating he had finished my water buffalo, along with oldest son Cameron's, as well. Consequently, I stopped by yesterday to check them out and thought both turned out fantastic and wanted to share...

As the old saying going goes, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!" Matt Roberts is currently working on a bespoke rifle for me and I am looking for something cool, and maybe a little bit different for the bolt knob. I saw one on AHF about three or four months ago that I really liked...

PROLOGUE Sometimes in the hunting world, the correlation between one’s expectations and reality never quite intersect - such was not the case with our October ’24 safari with Mark Haldane’s Zambeze Delta Safaris (ZDS). I’m getting way ahead of myself though and probably ought to go back and...

AHF Family, I come with hat in hand! This may be a long shot, but one never knows what might be sitting out there on someone's shelf unused. I recently acquired from an estate two Sterling Davenport rifles, both on Sako actions - one in 416 Dakota and the other in 284 Winchester. An odd...

As I peruse those many threads on AH Forum that interest me, I often wonder about the story or meaning behind the handle or user names of the posters. Many are intuitive to me, but with others, I'd just be taking a wild guess. I've had the good fortune to get to know a select few on here...

I read with great interest today as @cash_tx made a comment in his twin .375 Whitworth's thread about steaming the dents out of his brother's stock. I didn't want to hijack that thread and ask then, but it peaked my curiosity. I would like to hear from those in the know what that process looks...

Good evening - I'm looking for a little guidance on the subject. I just acquired a CZ 550 in 458 Lott and have a few questions about ammo use. I have always heard one of the great advantages to owning a Lott is the ability to use 458 Win Mag ammo if you were to ever get in a pinch. I have...

I'm not sure the specifics of my question have been covered before (I couldn't find it), but if so, apologies in advance. I know the original cartridge can be shot out of the Ackley Improved version rifle, which is in fact how most of the brass is formed (provided there are no factory offerings...

Good evening AH Nation and greetings from the Texas hill country! I've had the good fortune to interact with a couple of your fine AH ambassadors and both encouraged me to not only join the AH Forum, but to also be an active participant. So here I am to soak up the collective wisdom of the...
