    Which BIG bore?

    Digging this one up from the grave, but was there ever an outcome on this build? Lots of good discussion in this thread.

    Would you like a Cigar?

    Sad news but in these cases I always recommend reading Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations. Helped me with the loss of my father at the young age of 56. Having a snifter of Pappy 23 with a Davidoff double R and thought it appropriate to comment.

    That was my go to for years until I could afford Davidoff by the box. Still a favorite of mine.

    Delta 1st class

    There are a handful of YouTubers that do flight reviews on all classes for most airlines. TrekTrendy and Jeb Brooks are good to start with.

    Any Other Interests???

    Yard work is another hobby. Something about a perfectly striped yard gives me instant gratification. My handy work at the humble abode.

    Welcome and bienvenidos. Mexico City is in my bucket list of places to visit for some proper chapulines tacos. This forum has been most educational and an enabler of exercising your bank account for a lifetime of memories.

    Any Other Interests???

    American whiskey and cigars are where my non gun money go. My father and I were buying various vintages of Pappy before the craze hit. Drank most of it but still have a few left bottles for emergency money. Always have a toast of Pappy on the anniversary of his death. A few years of BT antique...

    Flying through Heathrow with Firearms now Forbidden, NOT

    I’ll admit my ignorance and flame me as necessary but is it possible to ship your rifles to the final destination so as to not have to fight the system? Granted there is risk involved.

    Susan Rice may not be the puppet master, but she has her hands on multiple of Biden’s strings. Kamala is just a showpiece.

    Loads for .458 Winchester Magnum

    Have to second this statement. There is something nostalgic about that caliber that started in childhood. Took the 458WM Model 70 to stretch her legs this weekend. Sent 20 rounds down range for three reasons (only intended to shoot 5 initially): 1. Annoying know-it-alls beside us popping off a...

    There has to be enough of us barley soda drinkers that can save up enough cans to make ingots of aluminum to send over. Being facetious of course, but I certainly appreciate the effort with dealing with them. Disappointing news.

    Best bang for the buck

    Take a good look at prices domestically in Texas. Start a spreadsheet to break out the costs and I think you’ll find a 7 animal plains game hunt just as affordable as one gemsbok in Texas. It’s incredibly expensive since the exotics aren’t native state side as they are in Africa. I’ve read...

    If unwilling to seperate, I’ll take both and I’ll send the African DG Cartridges to TNDave as a pay it forward since he was first to ask. Not trying to jump the line at all gents, it’s Garrett’s call.

    Trip report AA-Qatar-Airlink

    Don’t mean to poke the bee’s nest here, and every case is different. After reading through this thread I get the impression that it’s easiest to stay with one airline all the way through. Sure, you may have to drive to a suitable airport and/or pay a ticket premium but as was hinted at earlier...

    2023 SCI Convention in Nashville

    If you're driving, consider the parking situation. Not all of us have clown cars and open street parking can be hard to come by. Parking garages are in the downtown area, but most have low clearance, which my truck can't fit in. Its a short drive for us, so we'll either stay at the Joseph ($$$...

    Of course a plains game hunt in Africa is in the 3 year plan. Its been far too long (20+ years) since I've hunted anything that doesn't fly, so I'll be doing local deer hunts to get my skills back to where they should be before making the trek overseas. Five year plan is to go up against black...

    Would you like a Cigar?

    Second the S.T. Dupont lighters. I have a handful from several years ago when the MaxiJet was known as the Xtend. Still going strong 15+ years later. Have a couple Dupont Ligne2 soft flames as well as three Dunhill sidecars. As far as cigars, anything Nicaraguan, but primarily my wife and I...

    After gotten re-bitten by the shooting/hunting/collecting/researching bugs I joined after reading the forums for a few months now. Grew up in a family of mostly collectors, and I am fortunate to have inherited a couple classic British sporting rifles from my father who was spoke most highly of...
