"No one hunting any game WE HAVE IN CANADA" is the only problem I have with their reasoning. Do they not give any consideration at all to hunting in Africa?

you are possibly lucky it heard your shot at the turkey and spooked off?......

I enjoy Mannlichers so much I almost take for granted that is what is going to be In my hand when I actually hunt. (I thought the thread was more about doing a bunch of SHOOTING which can be a separate, higher volume thing than hunting....) Yeah, if you're talking about hunting only, MS all the...

The royalty in France and other places doubtless, used very elaborate schemes of driving game into killing zones where they slaughtered them in numbers. No one questioned it then, but does it meet the modern standards of fair chase. Should either ever be condemned it we just call it what it is...

I bought a 22 Browning auto because they are so cute, and this one had a factory octagonal barrel which they have never made as a model for sale. It was a run of less than a dozen as concept guns at the shot shows. You would think I liked shooting it more....I don't know how to explain it, but...

Wasn't she Roy Rogers' daughter?

30R Blaser is a fine cartridge. I don't understand why it is not more popular, especially in doubles and combination guns.

Now you see, you left a loophole. with that Browning high wall....and any good lawyer can tell you how to drive a Mac truck through a loophole!

I just want to KNOW FOR CERTAIN if you are set in your opinion about the 243.

My brother has a Five seveN that he likes. He claims it is very accurate out past 100 yards. It is not small.

I read somewhere that France lost so many in those wars that the average height of a Frenchman dropped from 6'0" to 5'9"

Mark my word--that influx won't be the last wave coming. Better get a plan in place now. Of course Geert Wilders was crying like a lone wolf about all this DECADES ago.....we never learn, at least not in time.

Now, you and Journey are making two tactical errors: 1. save a slush fund the missus doesn't know about, 2. asking forgiveness is easier than asking permission! PS--you could try organizing the gun safe to hide purchases for as long as possible, then refer to #2

I hate to plead ignorance, but do swaged bullets retain all original weight or is some lost?

Nice. How is she feeding with various bullets? I'm guessing grandpa is a retired machinist with some commercial quality home shop equipment, metal lathe, etc.?

Looks like the 303 as well as the 7.62X39 would be in range pressure wise, and the 303 a better choice overall?

Well, 45-70 is more powerful. Did you get it in SXS or O/U?

Howda, or maybe a shoulder stock for a 44 mag pistol....

No offense but that's what the old folks used to call "where two fools met--him for offering too cheap and you for refusing."

To the OP, the 404 is a sweet spot of frontal area, enough mass for momentum/penetration, in a cartridge that is manageable in recoil, a proven performer.

I'm not even being sufficiently tempted. Went by a gun store today; nothing of interest.

You were never on the list....

I mean no disrespect, but I was made to understand that the reason Denmark took the path they did was because of the horrid mess made in Sweden, Germany and France specifically. Particularly with immigrant gang problems in Sweden.

My grandfather was 1 yr old when that gun was offered for sale! Thanks for sharing one beautiful and well in-letted gun.

"Refreshing" and "Restoring" are not in the same category as "re-finishing" which can include some horrendous actions. That gun is not diminished in value IMO. It is very, and tastefully embellished from the factory, and I like the metal work. Still, I would never buy a SXS without handling it...

They are not the only ones who boil too long! I had to rebuild over 20% of a cape buff boss the taxidermist in Rowlett boiled off. Harwell (Harwood?) I don't mind calling him by name.

Redleg, can you tell us where to find a carved plaque like the one used on the white tail, and also for the warthog tusks. They are great. That is also exactly the way I would choose to mount a leopard, and a nice necklace on it, BTW

you are correct, sir. I did not just chap my lips--I deeply burned them. Miserable.

I wonder is the rest of Europe will ever follow the lead of Denmark in safeguarding their culture. They have effectively closed immigration from Muslim countries and forced assimilation, especially in regard to children's education. They made a conscious decision knowing it flaunted the EU...

Doubly so since Xi doesn't have that many people near him. He has been described by Peter Zeihan as the most insulated ruler in the world at this time.

Reminds me of a country western song, "How Can I Miss You If You Won't Leave" "You know I'd miss you, I'd probly miss you baby, I'd LIKE to miss you, but you just won't leeeaaavve"

someday..... GLWS

Now that's just nasty....

It was good, too!

I guess the get out of jail card is expired....

I would offer OH a one time get out of jail free card--no one takes any more potshots if he will in turn not post on Politics till he cools off a bit. Everyone needs a way out of being shamed--the Japanese even committed sepuku over being shamed. That said, the condition includes shutting up for...

How do we explain that some fighters have "hard hands" or unexpected power for their size?

thanks--I'm making that right now!

As you get older the very real possibility of mini strokes looms.....

My wife is in social services; she's seen them all! Pa-ja-ma (pajama), La-sha (la dash a--the dash don't be silent), Walmart (that's where the baby was born, so.... Hey just be glad he wasn't born in front of CondomsToGo!) It gets a bit much, and then the public school teachers, etc. have to say...

I know a Cowboy Church pastor who hunted in West Texas, and killed a mule deer with so much mass that I am not sure if I have ever seen a picture of a deer with that kind of mass+ stickers and trash. He has racks that anyone would be happy to have. They are ALL hung up on one long rafter in his...

Well, my uncles said that during the Korean War, local ladies would just squat, spreading their dresses for cover and walk away from a wet spot with no social stigma! At the same time, it absolutely grossed out the locals when Americans would blow their noses into a handkerchief and then stick...

We could all just buy another safe. My cousin bought another one that belonged to a big jewelry store. When they tried to get it into his building, the back tires were spinning on the front end loader because it was so heavy it was almost lifting the rear of the rig.

Hitler also wanted the wealth of the Jews to finance his war machine. Probably almost as large a priority in his actions.

HUNT, don't just be "taken hunting" Pay attention to the surroundings, even where camp is located relative to where you are. Think about where you would use field shooting aids if the next moment was the moment of truth--the side of a tree close by or a rock. Look intelligently at the track of a...

Kahles 8X30 on a strap

Are there outside organizations/government officials that help enforce contract agreements in that part of Africa

Any news on the Iranian trucking, shipping, and stevedore strikes impact on the current regime?

N/A as my wife won't get near "roughing it" lol Myself--whatever on land, on my boat, snap on seat to a five gallon bucket is golden.

Pelt still salvageable?
