    Can I Trust a Digital Orientation Tool Like an Online Compass for Accurate Hunting Navigation in the Field?

    I have encountered some anomalies where I plotted a point on GPS and when I referred back to it a few feet away it was over a mile per the GPS. I use an all above approach. Garmin GPS, Base Map on the cell phone with offline maps downloaded. Topo map, compass and map tools. Mytopo dot com has...

    African Axe

    I had mine packed in the crate with the trophies, no issues as long as it's declared on the paperwork. It was taken from a poacher in Zim. A small antipoaching donation was all it cost.

    Welcome, originating from the east coast I had the same idea. It will not take long around here to go down the big bore bolt action rabbit hole. Best wishes on your hunt. John

    I have a set of stocks for a Marlin 336. Claro 80% inlet (I believe 80%?) cost $750, estimated $1600 to fit and finish by a smith. I had the smith buy them from Treebone Carving.

    Surface Rust and Pitting - Traveling with Rifles and Moisture Management

    Put a dab of Kroil on the rust spot. Let it soak for a few then gently rub the spot with 0000 steel wool. That's what was recommended to me by members here a while back. Worked well. It will leave a bare unfinished spot but my wife was ok with the few shiny spots.

    The “458 Winchester Magnum, all the cartridge you’ll ever need” thread

    I picked up a CZ 458 Lott AHR #2 a while back. Really just cause I never shot one and all the horrible recoil talk. Found a M70 458 Win mag early this year. Figured I'll see what all the bashing is about with a legit comparison. This thread is extremely enjoyable and informative. Thank you...

    Mitchell Supply in Great Falls MT has a CZ in 375 H&H. They say it's new and the break is factory. The stock has some scratches but for the price you can't beat it if you are in the market.

    Thoughts on a future rifle idea?

    Mr Mcourry went to marking both calibers on the barrel. Mine says 375RUM/ 500 MDM. 300 RUM/458 B&M would be engraved if you wished. I didn't have an issue on my sole trip FWIW.

    Potentially new dangerous game cartridges coming to market?

    @WI-2021 The second roadblock is recoil. I don't have any problems shooting the .375's, but I've never shot anything bigger (unless you count some truly vicious 12 ga. turkey loads), so I don't know where my recoil tolerance ends. I'd hate to throw a bunch of money into a big bore and find out I...
