AH is still head and shoulders above SOME I could name...

And tips on judging the Sables, Gemsbok, etc.?

My first shot on a buffalo in Tanzania turned out to be a disappointment. The only look I got at him was from behind. The PH said to take him as he turned broadside. I did, and he reared up like a horse, then ran off with two other compadres. When we caught up with him I was shocked at the...

I think the Koreans have it down pat on how to cook the mackerel I love to eat it in their restaurants. My wife, on the other hand does NOT want me cooking it indoors.

Life is simpler with the ignore button....

Great optics are worth it on ANY gun, just because...

If it's anything like the "sweet 16" it will NOT tolerate heavy loads! The springs are calibrated for load and slamming back too hard with heavy loads will crack the fore end...don't ask how I found out.

What a joke to think that this man will prosecute Islamic statements or actions!! Maybe he should also take note that Elon Musk has done far less damage than Soros, who shorted their bank of England and now finances world wide subversions. Like to see him try to haul him in....

Several posts back was a link that included a link to a town hall speech in which Tampon Tim carried on a tirade against "guns only meant for war."

Pictures with maybe a news paper with today's date, as well. No offense, but your grammar is foreign.

Leave it to the French to be looking aside at a pretty fan, with a half-chub, when supposed to be concentrating on their sport.

Maybe, maybe they USED to be for the lower and working classes....but can you say that with a straight face now?

An outfitter/PH in Namibia drove me nuts with an old diesel rig that vapor locked constantly. AND HE HAD A BRAND NEW FORD HE WOULD NOT TAKE HUNTING. Lost at least half a day cumulatively. Tip was adjusted. TZ had a wonderful hunt but a swamp buggy broke on the back side of an island--took from...

Trump could pay for his own likeness to be placed up there....lol

Semi-OT but when I decided to cut walnut for stock blanks years ago, I first called Sterling Davenport and asked how HE preferred a blank to be laid out. I just picked his name from an advertisement.

I very nearly passed out laughing on that one. Thanks.

And by blem bullets, you mean cartridges?

I thought that was my point--the leftists were manipulating things in the direction of civil war. The Spanish Civil War did save Europe from having a communist country; it became a necessary war. But should we possibly fall for leftists fomenting revolution here in the US?

I'm so happy for you--especially with that forward mounting of the rear open sight. You will be able to focus and shoot irons sights well into old age, and quick!

Let's not forget 25cents for a gallon of gas, plus gas price wars

It's just about exactly twice that of a 30'06

I concur--moments of my life I can't get back.

Concerning India, I didn't know they had so many lawyers, and now a massive reduction in their numbers...sad...lol

I was born about 75 years too late. All the old guns with lots of drop fit me and the new straighter guns do not. Too old to change, probably. And I have a penchant for SXS. Fact is, I really don't own any new guns, save one octagonal barrel Browning auto .22 which technically never existed. It...

I would practice loading without looking. If that could not be made to work, then loading with minimal time looking at the breach. Otherwise you will take your eyes off the game for significant precious seconds. With a bolt gun or double you can keep your eyes tracking movement of the game...

good enough--I wish someone would circle the dog and giraffe...I don't see them

Sounds like we could all use a diversion of thought--here's one for you. Around 1936 the right wingers in Spain felt they had been cheated out of an election. Already unhappy and feeling disenfranchised they reacted violently to an incident in which three of their political leaders were...

Believe it or not, I was allowed to keep a single barrel shotgun (all I had at the time) in my dorm room at North Texas State University with the full knowledge of the lady in charge of the dorm. Of course, I was also a resident assistant, and she approved my plan to only take it to and from my...

I would be remiss if I did not mention the role of outdoor writing on my hunting development. My mother kept me subscribed to Sports Afield magazine for ten years. I should have kept the issue with a photo of Larry Benoit aiming his pump rifle at the camera, and the title "Is this the best deer...

In the southwest, tequila comes with a worm in the bottle...

I actually cannot identify most of them--I haven't watched MSM in over 25 yrs.

Why stop a "Do you remember when" thread with just primers.... Anyone remember when you could hunt just by knocking on the door and asking?

I remember $15--there is also a good chance I wasn't paying much attention before that. Things were once so cheap you didn't HAVE to pay attention, which was good because many of us were too poor to pay attention. Sometimes folks practically gave stuff away at garage sales. People today would...

In Texas we are being invaded by the Mexican black headed buzzards. Plenty of them up on the high church roof. Since a group of roosted buzzards is called a "committee" I told the folks I saw a committee having a meeting on the church roof.

And some doubles were set up that way.

Good luck remembering, in the heat of a charge, which trigger you had planned on pulling! Especially if you are already accustomed to doing it a different way on another rifle or shotgun. Things would possibly be a lot simpler if all your guns had the same double triggers, safeties, stock...

It is impossible for me to think what "might" happen to twist the Constitution without looking to see how Liberia has ALREADY twisted it!! They have our constitution, too...

I don't think I could have made my post much clearer. You are taking a lawyer's perspective to this incident....and you may just get a lawyer's result--which means that the PH will "go through the motions" of taking you out one more day for $180, but make sure that the MINIMUM is all you get for...

I'm feeling a lot of love for CWO's posts--we must empathize with the outfitter at times if it is reasonable--given $180 per day, IT IS REASONABLE. I would not fear other changes to charges AND I would not want an outfitter to strictly give me only what he thought I had coming for the price...

You USED to visit other gun sites regularly, but have neglected them due to time spent on AH.

If you are on AH so often that your wife thinks you are having an affair. In her defense, you do get on it as soon as you wake up and just before you go to bed....

The only other observation I had about his 416 was that is was iron sights only, and the rear sight was filed in a shallow V but with each side of the V filed at an opposite angle to the other. No matter which way the light was shining, one side of the V was always bright while the other was...

My PH in Tanzania (Kilombero south) used a 416 Rem. to back me up. I overheard him saying to his boss, Michel Mantheakis, that he thought it was OK, and he had had no problems using it. BUT...he was answering the question, "Are you still using that?" as if Mantheakis thought it was a bit iffy...

There are bulls, and then there are BULLS!!! Congrats on that 47.5" buff....and just as much so for that 48+" sable--wow

They burned our flag on American soil because they don't think ANYTHING will happen to stop them--not legally, not politically, and perhaps most importantly from their point of view, nothing from the citizenry to fear! I predict they will pull as much crap here as they want, even terrorist...

How long is that barrel?

When you are hiding money from your wife so you can have a safari company call and tell her you "won" a safari...

You are not supposed to do it until after you change the blinker fluid.

What--no globes?

Well, they do have a photo showing the vapor trail thus direction of the bullet in flight...
