Haaaaa. Well done! The detail is spectacular. I didn't know if the eyes/detail/wrinkles took 10 hours or 100. Great stuff!

Oh, and excellent space saving idea on the 90 degree base/display. I don't recall seeing that before. Any guesstimate on how many hours you have in the buffalo? Beautiful detail!

What a delay. Completely unacceptable! You need to find a new taxidermist!!! :) :) :) Seriously, awesome work! Love the buffalo!

Amen. Wish I had bought one in every flavor. Not to mention the doubles. Ooof.

If you are going to keep it, and hunt with it, get what you like! If you get 20 or 30 years of hunting out of it, who cares what resale value is? Resale will be less than the .275, but again, if .308 is your pet caliber, by all means roll with it.

Beautiful rifle. The (perhaps only) good thing about the seller is they will ship it to any local store for you to evaluate. Just plan on spending around say $1500– $2000 to get rings fitted. I do wish I’d been in the parking lot when they brought both of those in to sell. :-)

Table two. Again with the same cypress but did the shou sugi ban treatment. Third table was 6” Douglas fir. I gave one to a friend and have made one more table, but I don’t think I took any pictures of it when I finished it. Again, rough skills, but it is worked wood.

I will post a couple of my rough projects. I don’t have 1/10 of the skill set required to do fine woodwork. Great work by you artisans. Here is the first table that I made at the current house. Had beam left over from the building and used +-100 year old cypress for the table top.

Man, some amazing work. I prefer working with steel, but if utilizing wood, I go big and rough. :-).

Awesome. As referenced earlier, I would likely feel like crud stationary at those elevations. I come from a long lineage of flat-landers. :-). Make sure you are hydrated before you get on the plane, while on the flight, and over the entire trip. Good luck on all aspects of the hunt.

Beautiful package! If it had a bigger hole in the barrel I would be sending a pm.

Yes sir. "How did they get Dolly in that gown, the night that Porter Wagoner came to town?"

When in S. Africa, I stick to a strict regimen of Castle and Castle Light. It has worked well in the past and after reading this I shall continue the practice.

I attempted to double quote, but looks as if I failed miserably. If I was in the market, I think as a buyer that rifle would be worth $9500-$10,000 to me. There is most certainly a .404J premium (as there is for .505G, .500J etc). This premium can approach 20% (even though price to build is...

While I firmly believe man was intended to live on one level :), this is so cool I am contemplating building something with a staircase. :) Well done!

I completely missed this the first time around. Just read every word. Well done on all fronts! Great animals and the taxidermy work on the leopard is stellar!

Now I am confused. Did you sell ammo this weekend without a public post saying someone would take it?

Rumor has it Matt Roberts/MNR Custom purchased Wayne's stock equipment. May want to reach out to him. Wayne's stocks were fantastic!

Man, what a score! As you know, it was very reasonably priced to begin! Good day!

Wow. I butchered that. :-)

Yes. A lot of walk-ins and G&S also has a guy that buys a considerable amount of guns from online auctions they resell. If that was a Gen. II EE, I saw the listing previously, did not review now, but I don’t even think they marketed it as being an EE.

The only time I will point out something that may be perceived to be “negative” is when I see people having smoke blown by their PH. All of us make mistakes – including PHs. I try to own my mistakes and laugh at them when I can. When a PH believes an animal to be mature, and upon walking up on...

If it takes consuming cottage cheese I will gladly bow out now. :)

No drinking, smoking, or wild women. Well, scratch that. . . https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1G1t8MTKGs/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Bump to the top for the work week crew! Just seeing this.

I'm not home now, but it is a VX6 1-6 with firedot/illuminated plex reticle. I can get more information tonight.

I have seen some advocate cutting off holes/tabs for cases to limit the number of holes where a lock is required. I generally go with aluminum cases where there is a “rod” where only one lock is required. I generally do not travel with the rod and use 4 locks instead. I will continue to do so.

Thanks much. Really am shocked this has not sold. I hate to go down the gunsinternational route, but it looks like that’s where I’m headed. I have sold numerous rifles on here, but I’m really surprised at what his lingered. Have probably 10 that I need to sell and guess I will list them all...

Probably not worth bumping (as compared to starting a new thread), but here we go. :-). I checked back with folks who wanted me to ship, but they are no longer in the market. Simply have too many rifles I will likely never shoot/hunt again. I will ship to the lower 48 the rifle/scope/rings in...

What does need have to do with anything here? :)

I am saying he is soft and about seven years of age. Waiting on pictures to confirm. :-). Hope the rest of the hunt/trip is great and have fun with your dad! That is the most important assignment!

Trust but verify? Screw that, don't even trust!!! Then again, I have noticed some data in manuals I (thankfully) did not trust. :)

Other than the framing lumber quality stock, it should be accurate and serviceable. . . :) Seriously, that is beautiful and I would not change a thing. Congratulations. Well done by you and Rigby!

Bo and others there at Auburn claim it was FAT. Hand times of same run were purportedly under 4.0. I don't know what his time actually was, but I do know he was fast. :-).

Man, I have been tied up since 7:00 am. Just taking a break. I haven’t noticed a downturn over the last four hours. :) What is interesting is I recall hearing anecdotal stories of many younger people getting involved in hunting over Covid. Perhaps some, but they either did not stick with it or...

I think that one has run through numerous times without a bid. . . for good reason.

I think Bo was actually faster. Unofficial 4.13 40. I recall an interview with Sanders conceding the same as well. I saw Thorpe listed below. The new series on him was excellent!

I would do both! AHR sold quite a few with both stocks. Good to have the synthetic option for relatively little cost.

Never mind. Just found it! including tail pics. Congrats!

Glad to hear about your elephant hunt! Have you posted a hunt report? If so, I missed it!

Likely NOS.

Likely due to date of manufacture.

Unfortunately it is now seemingly required by US law to limit the access of toddlers/kids to evil batteries.

I had one of these (green hardcover as I recall). Let someone borrow a while back and never to return. Oooof.

That wasn’t your question. You asked how many people “lawyered up?” Cheapest filing where I am is $144 for small claims and service. Most corporations will laugh at pro se filings as well.

Doh! I had my wife check the powder room. I thought I had some of the orange stuff at the house. She said just H4831. Fairly certain I have some at the ranch. I know I have some somewhere.

I am out of town, but will check and see if I have some to spare.

For most shipping damage, you hit the tipping point/level of diminishing return after a couple letters etc. In some cases it is obviously worthwhile; however, if estimated legal fees approach a significant percentage of what one can establish the diminution in value/repair (or replacement)...

Follow this Flipper Dude’s advice. I miss the instructions step at times. :-). That being said, I think you have to roughly figure out eye relief and then mount the front ring on the scope. What you DO NOT want to do is attempt to get the front ring perfectly true by eye/square and then tighten...

The answer remains .550 Magnum with a lifetime supply of brass :) I disdain Bertram brass do much that I moved a .425 WR on down the line. I would seriously recommend a .458 Lott or .450 Rigby. Although I love the big stuff, there is nothing magical about 1/2”+
