    White whale

    Waited for years to find a nice custom Mauser in 270 win. Happened across a good deal on a Haugh custom but the stock was just a bit too short and there was zero engraving. I decided to get it restocked and a bit of engraving to get the exact hunting rifle I always wanted. Just got it back about...

    270 win or 338 win mag

    Either will work just fine. I grew up in Colorado and still go back to hunt every year. Have successfully taken elk with 270, 7mm mag, 300 Savage, 30-06, 300 win, 300WSM, and .50 cal muzzleloader. As others have said - a premium bullet and good shot placement will get it done everyone.

    Are Nosler Partitions still worth the money?

    Partitions filled a market need for a window of time (30-40 years) Their bonding and design held up better than the competition. Technology has caught up and there are now a ton of great options (that often shoot better) than the partition.

    African Braais- your favorites ?!

    braai-broodjies are a favorite of mine as well. My last trip I sliced some sausage links in half lengthwise and added to the Onion and cheese braai-broodjie - the entire camp thought I lost my mind - but it was delicious.

    Battle of bad choices .243 vs 6.5 Creed for hogs

    I would assume you mean the 308 with a thermal isn’t ideal. If you’re not paying attention you get a little scope to the eye? I have had good luck with 300BLK suppressed with a thermal for pigs.

    Tinnitus driving me crazy

    White noise - fan or noise machine helps a bit when working or trying to sleep. Don’t know of anything that reduces it - struggled with it for 20+ years.

    CO antelope hunt booked - where to shop for clothing?

    Early October in Colorado and the temps vary greatly. Can pretty much guarantee it will be windy out on the prairie. No need for cool camo as you’ll be covered in solid orange (don’t buy the camo pattern orange - needs to be solid orange in Colorado). I’d recommend: Insulted leather boots...

    .404 Jeffery pondering. . .

    I’ve hunted buff with 375H&H and 404J with the same result. Unless you absolutely have the desire for a 404J and it’s keeping you up night, I’d use the money for more hunting and carry that 375. Use a 300 grain A frame (or similar) and you’re set for about anything. If you don’t think that’s...

    HSM Ammo

    I bought a few boxes of HSM 270 and 300 win a few years back as they were on sale. I believe they were loaded with Sierra and Barnes didn’t have luck with their loads - haven’t bought any since

    Which 7mm cartridge is the "best" poll?

    For the largest plains game I would lean towards a heavier bullet. From my limited knowledge of all things 7mm I would guess that would narrow the selection down to the which 7 can accurately shoot a 190-200 grain bullet. 7x57 or 7PRC ?

    What, if anything, would you have done differently

    Pretty much all my suggestions have been mentioned above but I’ll add them anyway to second their recommendations. 1. You’re dates are already set, but 12-14 days is ideal. 2. Take as much extra cash with you as you can afford. Tons of random opportunities you didn’t plan for. 3. Don’t rush any...

    Mauser 98 Bolt Polish

    Not an expert but I’m not sure that is blued - it could be a cerakote of some sort. If so, would probably need to be sand blasted off and then polished

    Actual calibers used for Buffalo by AH members

    I have hunted buff with a scoped Mauser 404J w/ 400 grain aframes and scoped Sako 375HH w/ 300 grain aframes. They will produce the same result with proper shot placement. I have, or have owned, 375HH, 404J, 416 Rem, 416WBY, 458 WM, 450 Rigby, 458 Lott, 500NE, but have found that the recoil...

    Another Clothing Question

    As others mentioned above - I prefer cotton shirts due to the thorns and snagging, my Tag shirts hold up really well. If you prefer the synthetic PFG shirts I imagine they would be very comfortable, but may get ruined

    What are you reading?

    Finished into the thorns - it wasn’t exactly what I expected but it was good. Now about halfway through Kwaheri by Robert Von Reitnauer. So far it’s stellar - probably Top-3 of all the African books I have read.
