    LEUPOLD COUNTERFEITS

    Are these counterfeits mainly a Leupold problem? Are they as prevalent in Swarovski or Zeiss?

    Ruger ceasing production of Hawkeye

    Seems to be the opposite of what they should do. All the high end brands in other markets drop their entry level stuff and keep their flagship…and do well. The American rifle is okay, but everyone makes a cheap bolt gun.

    LEUPOLD COUNTERFEITS

    So, to avoid these problems only buy new from authorized dealers? And from what I am reading no Amazon or eBay “authorized dealer “? I assume Bass Pro and Scheels are good, or have they infiltrated there somehow?

    Classic stalking rifles - today

    A 303 double rifle is my dream medium game stalking rifle. Definitely underrated!

    Magna-Porting a Double Rifle?

    You could Cerakote it while it’s getting Magna ported. Sorry, it sounded funny at first!

    111Kg Leopard killed in Zimbabwe?

    I might be off base here, but a good looking leopard is a good looking leopard, regardless of weight. Also, if I was charged by one, I would rather be charged by the obese ninja instead of the fit looking ninja!

    Ruger No1 Boddington/Elephant .450NE value?

    I would love to have that set of rifles. Not long ago, there was a full numbered set of those on GB for $12k.

    Grandfathers Drilling

    I would 100% hunt with that drilling if it were mine! Very cool to get that handed down.

    Looking for advice on getting started reloading

    I agree 100%! 38 or 44 or 45-70, straight wall cartridges.

    Looking for advice on getting started reloading

    I went in deep on reloading and have lots of equipment from every manufacturer. If I was to start completely over, I would buy the deluxe kit from Redding or RCBS. I would then add a digital scale, Redding dies, a trimmer, case prep machine, brass tumbler, etc. There are lots of other little...

    I would have definitely asked you about those stocks if I would have seen them! That 9.3 is awesome!!!!

    Why do you not like Benedikt or Spomer? Just curious.

    I’ll take all your lashings…. Ruger no 1 RSI modifications

    I love the look of a #1, but I don’t like the RSI much, so…I think it looks better. Are those scope rings stainless?

    300 Holland & Holland (pre war)

    Good problem to have! The pre war H&H 300 and a pre war 416 Rigby are my two dream rifles. Yours is very nice. That old leather box tops it off.

    Yeah well…you already know where it was at…I should’ve just bought it to play with.

    Savage 110 .458 Win mag

    Would anyone here take a Savage 110 in 458 Win mag on a dangerous game hunt? I’m a Mauser style action type of guy and I passed on it. It was $650 and I am wondering if I’ll regret it tonight laying in bed. It was a plastic stock so I would have had to upgrade that. I would have bought it if...

    What cost in African Safaris is sustainable?

    Thanks! I was just getting a baseline of airfare. I will definitely use Travel Express and Rifle Permits.

    What cost in African Safaris is sustainable?

    Wow, airfare has gone up more than expected in the past six months. Just for my wife to come along and sit in the camp adds $2500-3500 just in airfare, and I'm not sure she would be interested in just sitting there. For the wife and I, the scenic (48 hour) Doha route is $4200ish plus the flight...

    Your Powder Selection Criteria?

    As a new reloader, H4895 is great for rifle. H110, well…carpe diem right? You should add HP-38 and you’ll be starting off great!

    Your Powder Selection Criteria?

    1-availability 2-versatility 3-temperature insensitivity I use mostly Hodgdon powders and have mostly been using their data. Thanks to Bob Whelen for getting me on CFE223, which is made in Florida. I really like it and it will always be available to us in the US.

    Victorinox Multitool for me. Used it a lot the last 19 years and it’s still in great shape because I take care of it.

    Quietest Vibratory Case Tumbler

    I have a Lyman and Midway. The Lyman isn’t bad at all, but I don’t use them anymore. I converted to wet tumbling and will never go back.

    I have always thought a double in 375 Winchester would be great for eastern Oklahoma whitetail!

    Ethics Test by the Hunting Gods

    I feed the deer year around on my property because I like to see them, and they get a pass. Somewhat like guests. I do hunt on the next property over, but again, if they cross the fence to my place, they have asylum.

    The pleasure of fine things

    I just had to do the same thing after reading the last few posts. Apparently, when I taught myself to write left handed 20+ years ago, I did it as an underwriter. Now I need to polish up, and with my fountain pen at that.

    Duck hunting shotgun question...

    Perfect timing of a question! I too am interested in a semi auto for duck hunting and was looking at an A400. Now I need to look at the Benelli’s. The allure of the wood stocked sxs draws me in though!

    Dream rifle I always wanted just wrong caliber
