Thanks for the offers! I want the factory ammo with the box. I just need the fox and deer. (preferably in .224 for the fox and .257 for the deer) I found a box of .300 with the bear.

Leupold fixed powdered scopes were, perhaps, the most rugged scopes on the planet. But, they quit making them a few years ago... I still have 4.

OK. I didn't know, but am not surprised. Many iconic brands of American made quality outdoor goods have now been acquired by "Vista Outdoor" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vista_Outdoor Quality and customer service have sufferred greatly.

The problem with most new scopes is the lack of ruggedness. IMO, only 3 brands pass the "ruggedness test" now - Nightforce, Trijicon, and SWFA. I prefer Leupold, but have to admit that I've had I've had a couple that have lost zero during long flights and long road trips to concessions...

Yes, they are. However comma...

PayPal let's you pay with your credit card, and provides an extra level of protection. I've never protested a credit card charge that didn't work out in my favor. If the seller doesn't have your signature or VERY COMPELLING evidence that the purchase was good and legitimate, they almost always...

I use PayPal tied to a credit card. If there's a problem, I file complaints with both. This has always worked for me.

Try to avoid Zelle, Cash App, or Venmo when paying for something. I try to only buy from folks who will accept credit cards, PayPal, or personal checks. (I think's it's pretty unlikely that anyone on this forum doesn't have a friend who won't accept a credit card for a 3% fee) I would for a...

If I can talk a friend to come with me. I "might" have a Winchester Model 70 in .458 that I would be willing to part with.

I'm trying to put together a small collection of the vintage Weatherby ammo in original "animal" boxes. I'd like: - 1 box of .257 Weatherby Magnum with the deer - 1 box of ammo with the fox (preferably in .257, but IDK if they made it) - so .224, .240 I know Weatherby is making a...

Be especially careful with scopes. I've been scammed twice. Once at a gun show where I bought what looked like a brand new Leupold VX-3i (turned out it was a counterfeit) I paid cash, and didn't have any idea who I bought it from. The other time was off eBay - A Sig Sauer Tango 6T...

I bought a couple of boxes of ammo off Gunbroker this week. There was something a little "off" about the description, so I contacted the seller and ask them to call me. They did. The seller knew what they were talking about and explained everything to my satisfaction. Gave me their real...

Absolutely.

I've only hunted with Adansonia Safaris in Limpopo, and have nothing but the highest praise for their operation. I would absolutely not want a "canned hunt" under any circumstances. The properties we hunted were larger than most Wildlife Management Areas in the eastern US and were "fair...

On my first safari to South Africa our PH ask us if we wanted to see the "night life" near camp. Of course we did... He carried us to the place where they disposed of carcasses. Dang! (I wouldn't want to camp ANYWHERE near that place - I didn't even recognize some of the...

"Can we all just get along..." - Rodney King I'm just asking for recommendations for one centerfire rifle that would be appropriate for a 25 year old, 5'2" woman who might be persuaded to hunt one of these days. If she ever hunts again, it will probably be for deer, black bear, and/or hogs...

Reloading aside (which my 28 year old son has completely covered at this point). It may be about where hey live and their life circumstances. I live in the "deep-south" USA, where being "manly" still carries some weight. I doubt my 25 year old daughter would even date a guy who wasn't a...

When you need to add BB gun velocities to your DG loads, the problem is not velocity. A .458 WM will take anything that walks on land. (It's probably fine for whales too, if your so inclined (and licensed) of course)) A .460 Weatherby is best for whales...

I have a Kimber 84M that I nearly gave up on while testing various factory ammo. That was until someone gave me 10 rounds of Federal Premium factory ammo loaded with 140g Nosler Accubond bullets. It shot sub 0.5 MOA with that ammo. Of course, Federal quit making the ammo... It shoots...

I just use a primer pocket brush and the priming arm on my RCBS Rock Chucker. I've had a few issues over the years with primers being too high. I just deprime the cases and try to do a better job cleaning the pocket on the next run. This almost always works. I didn't used to always...

With the Lott barrel you can shoot both. With that being said, there is no longer any problems with .458 Winchester. Recoil with the .458 Lott can be brutal.

Do you know where your .240 Weatherby was manufactured?

I have a .338 and a .340 WBY. Both would be fine on PG. However, I think a .30/06 would be just as good, with the right bullets. I know I've said this several times before, but asked 6 PH's around a campfire one night "What cartridge would you prefer your clients bring for plains game...

I guess the question should have been something like "Besides a .22 rimfire, what do you think is the most useful rifle for a 25 year old woman?"

I think she could be persuaded to hunt, if she found the right guy. I doubt that she would have any interest in competition, but you never know.

My daughter isn't a hunter. She's not an "anti-hunter," just a non-hunter. She owns a handgun (S&W 380 EZ) and she can shoot very well. She's only 5'2", so needs to get shoulder fired firearms that fit, but at a price point that is not excessive. "Santa" gave her a Pointer Acius O/U 20...

I'm a first year Gen X'er and my business partner is a "Boomer." We just avoid politics, because many "boomers" where either Viet Nam vets or "hippies" in the 60's. He didn't go to Viet Nam. Luckily, my son and I are mostly aligned on politics, although he is not quite as "conservative"...

I prefer a Swiss Army knife for EDC, but have a few multitools. I have an original Leatherman, a Leatherman Wave, and a Gerber Multi-Plier. If I were going to get another it, would be a Victorinox Swiss Tool Spirit X. I've messed around with one quite a bit and really like the quality.

My Gen Z son bought 1,000 primers last week... And these new cartridges they love so much won't be around in 20 years, so they will either have to, or use that that 6mm ARC rifle as a tomato stake. (unless their too lazy to grow tomatoes!)

Front to back, unless I am purposefully using a different bullet in the left barrel.

If they are both built in the same factory in GERMANY, I would go for the Mauser. A Rigby built in Germany????

My favorite multitool is a Victorinox Swiss Tool X. But, I would rather have a Victorinox Champion knife & and big, strong tactical folder. I have pliers in every vehicle that I drive, so I don't need to carry an extra pair of pliers.

My "grand niece" found my Benchmade Adamas today. Life is back on track!

My taxidermy philosophy is to do Euro mounts on everything except for my best specimen of a particular species, unless there's a great story to tell. I have a shoulder mount of very unimpressive 6-point White-tailed deer. The reason I had a shoulder mount done was that he was completely...

Rowland Ward is the "gold standard" and takes into account greatest overall spread and "tip to tip" spread. https://rowlandward.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rowland-Ward-Method-12-a-Cape.pdf SCI does too, but it is much easier to "make the book," with SCI methodology...

IMO, the spread of the horns has little to do with the quality of the trophy.

Twice as old as the USA. Remarkable.

His performance in "The Apostle" was superb. He had to have actually spent time with old southern preachers to pull that off. He nailed it!

I wish them the best, but I'm not one who buys a rifle until it's "tried and true."

Elephant now. It was Cape Buffalo until I got one in 2021, but I would definitely hunt another!

If limited to one, the Victorinox Champion would be my only knife. Mine even killed an Impala 5 year's ago. Victorinox no longer makes the Champion, but you can find them on eBay every now and then.

I carry two knives everyday. A Victorinox Champion in my right pocket A Benchmade Adamas in a cargo pocket or clipped to wherever I can find a place on my right side. After at least 15 years, I lost my Adamas a few weeks ago, so I am carrying a Gerber 06 Auto drop point, until I find my...

I've got a stainless/synthetic .338 Win Mag and a .340 Weatherby Mag (scoped bolt actions) to use when I have a chance at a coastal grizzly, however, I believe your choice of rifle/cartridge should be just fine. Get your guide's input. My black bear succumbed to an arrow within 30 yards of...

Welcome! I've had excellent luck with auctioned hunts. Maybe, you will also.

I remove the bolt because my Pelican Vault holds rifles so tightly, that the bolt handle pushes through the foam otherwise.

In Georgia, if you can pass the background check or have a reciprocal CWP, you can just walk away with it!

Dang, my daily driver is 23 years old. I know I had the boots that I I'm wearing right now in 2007. Maybe I am the example of what not to overlook.

One lesson I learned when I was about 30, was that you can't judge a man by how he looks. I was running a fly shop when a man come in driving a old Ford F150 and wearing overalls asking about a fly rod. I showed him some St. Croix rods and some Redingtons. He got close to me and said "I'm...
