I recently discussed a possible purchase with Krish. We discussed things politely and were close, but ended up not reaching a final deal, mainly because of me. I’ll gladly speak up for Krish. He was imminently fair and honorable.

Decide who you are using to build the rifle and ask him what action he likes to use. Some smiths have lots of experience with one, but not another. Thus, they have preferences. All of those actions can produce a solid functional rifle.

If you can provide some objective points and reasons why it is a fake, they will remove it. Hit report and there is a menu with reasons and you can add a note and photos. I have reported several obviously fake items and ebay removed them. Optics seem to be one of the very worst problems...

.308 Win with a Barnes TTSX 130 grain. Rifles: first choice Montana Rifle Company or second choice Winchester Model 70. They will last him a lifetime. Suppressors are helpful, but since the suppressor will be in your name, he will be able to use it only when you are with him under current...

I quit Levi’s decades ago because of their politics, which forced me to try Wrangler products. Lo and behold, Wrangler’s Riggs work jeans are vastly better quality, better fit, and last forever.

Very interesting and informative. (y)

Intriguing. I've only fired more than a few centerfire rounds, but never once had to take a casting to check a chamber. Definitely have used go/no go gauges a few times. Back in the dark ages when I was competing in long range matches, the people cutting resizing dies always asked for a few...

A piece of fired brass is the eqivalent to casting.

My last suppressor using the electronic filing took only three days for approval. That was last month.

Sterling builds very accurate rifles. Here is a three shot group from my .308 he built.

Looks like it is a Biden regulation from 2023 kicking in. From the reg: Consistent with Reese’s Law, ANSI/UL 4200A-2023 requires either the use of a tool such as a screwdriver or coin to open the battery compartment, or the application of at least two independent and simultaneous movements to...

I have both and that is not necessarily correct. Rifles for the .416 Rigby tend to have larger and thus heavier receivers, which add 1 - 1.5 pounds depending on the rifle. The extra weight makes a difference. Obviously, that is a generalization, the specific rifles used for comparison...

As an experiment to isolate issues, try sizing a piece of brass with the decapping assembly completely removed. If that feels ok, next reinstall the decapping assembly, but leave it a bit loose so it free floats i.e. do not screw it down tight. The goal is to let self center.

Are using some sort of lube? Make sure to use a bit of lube on the inside of the case neck.

Wonder what the results would look like if the study also analyzed iron sights vs scope/red dot and also analyzed bolt action vs double? Both of those variables affect accuracy.

In one of Kevin Thomas’ earlier books, he commented about .375 being adequate. In one of his later books, he changed his mind and thought it marginal and a step up was prudent. At one point, he culled buff with a .308, so he certainly was capable of dropping them with the tool at hand.

??? .404 Jeff seems to suffer from a chronic lack of ammo and brass and is not a standard loading of the major ammo manufacturers in the US, except for Hornady. There seem to be many here who are not fond of Hornady's bullets, so that is another factor to consider. A quick check at Midway and...

We shoot a lot of pigs in South Texas. The meat is wonderful, especially the ribs. Every now and then, I video a shot if I have someone with me. A .308 Win with a Barnes TTSX 130 grain @ 3100 is the go to load. Here are a couple of good examples:

Minute of Ayatollah? :)

When they took 66 American citizens hostage and danced in the streets chanting “Death to America.” Why we decided to invade Iraq, the only secular country in the neighborhood and arch enemy of Iran, still escapes me. We should have rolled on Iran, not Iraq. The Iraqis hated Iran and did a...

Brass that has been fired in that specific rifle and then correctly resized always will provide more reliable ignition along with better accuracy. Correctly resized means using head space gauges to make sure the shoulder is set back 0.002” - 0.003”, and absolutely no more than 0.005”. If it is...

The video is confirmation of the adage, we do not rise to the occasion, but sink to the level of training.

Yes, they have been working with the NORKS, who have demonstrated capability. At this point, the Russians likely will gladly help too. Smuggling a missile or truck carried bomb in through Mexico would be my top concern. Iran’s calculus is driven by zealotry with a big dose of rabid hatred for...

Ran it through a translator program: The commercial court of Saint-Étienne ruled on Wednesday 4 June between the two bids in the running for the takeover of Verney-Carron. He chose the one of the Loire company Rivolier. Verney-Carron has found a buyer. Rivolier was appointed by the...

What is the light colored tan buff at 2:50? I’ve not seen that before.

Quite majestic. Personally, animals that are truly exceptional like that should be allowed to walk and spread the genetics. Pound hard on the low end. Thanks for sharing the video. (y)

I agree, keep the government out of it. It is a different form of trophy looking for glory on internet forums, the same as big horns or grip and grin photos for internet forums, and medals and certificates for the wall. The best way is to not praise it, but speak up against it. Few hunters...

Digital is great when it works, but there are some conditions such as heavy cloud cover, heavy tree canopy, and tight, deep terrain or canyons, where it may not work. The number one problem condition is loss of power. I always, always have a compass on me doing anything in the field. Make sure...

Fords are much easier to steer because Dodges drivers have to wear a paper bag over their head to hide from the embarrassment.

Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42 $699 on the big river from Euro Optic They are relatively light and compact in size compared to Swaros of the same size. I’ve owned four pair of Swaros, sold all of them and use the Conquest HD’s now for bird surveys and hunting. Great value.

Whichever is oldest. Hard to tell from that one photo, but the back left at 11 o’clock on the photo looks like the oldest based on the hip bones and loss of muscle mass on the rump. But I am looking on a phone, so they are tiny images, and different angles can look different.

Would appreciate some discussion on these questions. Great first shot by the hunter, but without the go ahead from the PH makes me wonder whether the PH was waiting to determine whether it was a real charge requiring self-defense shots?

Thank you. The bottom is a one off pattern. I came up with that design with inspiration from some of his other patterns. It really works well and is very comfortable.

I have completely given up on Leupold. There is not even one Leupold in my house any more, which makes me a bit sad, but they have let their reliabilty drop off. Nightforce NX8 or NXS’s, Trijicon, or Aimpoint are on my rifles these days. Buy once, cry once. This thread is worth a read and...

With one groove, to me they look like Nosler’s solid. Compare the groove and bands: https://www.nosler.com/products/bullets/product-line/solidtm.html Five grooves on Barnes .404 solids: https://barnesbullets.com/0-422-404-jeff-banded-solid-400-gr-rn/

A fine companion to the Cape Buffalo book, which is wonderful.

What is the name of the pattern for the bottom two? Looks like a blend of a Nessmuck and a skinner. Really like that one on the bottom and beautiful sheath. Nice work! :)(y)

The photo the Isis imbeciles took Has been translated by some very learned fellow Muslims https://trueactivist.com/muslims-hilariously-troll-isis-after-call-for-recruitment-ends-up-on-twitter/

That is a beautiful rifle. Congratulations on owning it and thank you for sharing it.

CF, my recommendation is to return or sell the .338 Lapua mag before altering it. It is too wide in the body, especially at the rear, and the rounds will move side to side under recoil. It should sell easy enough if unmolested and save the gunsmith time and thus you incurring fees. The only...

CF, the Accuracy International .300 Win Mag 3.850” COAL magazine likely will work better than the .338 Lapua Mag. It still may need adjustment, but it is closer to correctly fitting than the .338 Lapua magazine. I stuck five unloaded cases in and they were secure and feed fine by a thumb...

MD, try having it ground into pan sausage similar to the Jimmy Dean type. It is leaner and quite tasty for breakfast with a cup of coffee.

We eat only wild game meat since 2011. I have bought beef two times since then when my wife wanted a beef steak. Hunting in Texas is a decent option for this time of year. My recommendation would be to shoot a cull Scimitar Horned Oryx. It is the finest meat I have ever eaten bar none. The...

I put my most used earlier in this thread, but these knives by Gene Ingram are used every year too.

What made you feel confident when the hunter pulled it out and what made you groan in your mind? What seemed to most often produce good results and what most often caused long tracking jobs?

Tanzania deployed troops five years ago to the border with Mozambique. Excerpt from 2020: "Media reports say the United Nations has recorded 28 attacks in the area since the beginning of 2020, which killed up to 400 people and displaced at least 100 000 others."...

For serious range use, take a look at the Bog Death Grip tripod. It is very steady, very durable, and will last under sustained heavy use. It is not nostalgic like wooden sticks, but will stand up to heavy use far, far better. Also accuracy working up loads and adjusting scopes and sights...

Here is a bit more detail on the attack on Mariri, which occurred on April 29. https://clubofmozambique.com/news/mozambique-police-investigate-new-rebel-movements-in-niassa-281430/
