Hi there, I know Tyler personally and can vouch for him. He works at a local gun store here in Minnesota and I have bought a couple guns from him. In fact, he’s the person I bought my Holland and Holland Royal from a few months ago. Just wanted to vouch for him since he is new to the forum.

Pm sent on some of 450/400 components and dies. Thanks

Here is a picture of my son making him laugh during their Facetime call when he informed Mr. Sullivan that “in a fight, front sight!”

I have an anecdote to add about Mark Sullivan’s character. Several months ago, I happen to catch my three-year-old on video saying that “Mark Sullivan is a cool guy” and that “he could do anything like hunt elephant, wildebeest and lion”. I shared this short video with a friend of mine who...

We didn’t have any buffalo meat either. None of us hunted buffalo on that trip. Everything else we had was delicious!

@Hunter-Habib may be interested in this!

Hi all, thank you so much for your replies and ideas. I am very grateful to @AZDAVE who was kind enough to sell me the extra set he had.

I think we should all aspire to wear tweed!?

Sending a PM

Thank you so much for the kind offer! It’s not so much of a “need” but more of a “want”. Another member did PM me saying that he might have said he would sell. He’s going to check when he returns home from traveling. I really do appreciate you kindness and will reach out if I get to a point...

Thank you! I did do that and was able to get a trim die and shell holder from CH4D a fee months ago but still need the sizing and seating dies.

CH4D was 14 months out and northern shooter supply didn’t have any when I last checked. I have a set order tentatively from CH 4D but I would like to purchase it sooner if possible.

As someone who was born in the Middle East, I’ve always wondered if there is a weather component to the violent tendencies of cultures in that region. I can certainly attest that when I have visited places like Israel, where it is very, very hot and very, very humid, I wanted to hit anyone that...

@CZDiesel should chime in about his experience with his Model 70!

Every now and then it’s useful to zoom out a bit…

Remarkable story! https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20251009-the-photo-showing-namibias-desert-lions-living-on-the-beach

Thank you @Rare Breed for getting these organized. I plan to be at SCI and look forward to see you all at the get together!

Beautiful stag! Thanks for sharing and congrats!

Thank you for the detailed report! Im sure you agree that if it was easy, it would not be hunting, it would be shooting, and much less satisfying when successful. It sounds like it was a great hunt nonetheless and I’m sure you will get your leopard in the future!

Matt is a great smith and also very responsive!

Hello, if anyone is interested in selling a functioning 577NE 3” die set please PM me. Thanks!

Thanks! I do have some factory 140s.

Thats good to know - I love learning the details and nuances! Thanks!

Throw me to the wolves, because there is order in the pack.

The stalker cut out the abdominal viscera and draped it over the antlers so that we could more easily find the carcass in the heather. It was called “the veil.” It stood out surprisingly well!

I can’t find a piece of S&B brass with an intact primer to measure it. However, if it helps in your comparison quest, I did have an intact spent Hornady .275 Rigby case which I measured for you: Weight of case with spent primer without water: 178.9 gn Weight of case with spent primer with...

Decorum, etiquette and resilience.

Roosevelt uttered these words at the Minnesota State Fair on September 2, 1901. Two weeks later he would be the president of the United States. Eight years later, and 19 days after his presidency ended in March 1909, he went on his first African safari during which his group collected 11,400...

As a retired divorce attorney I can verify this sentiment.

Great pictures! The one of the rifle against the Kudu has especially good balance and composition!

24 months ago I couldn’t tell and eland from a blesbok. Now that I have some rudimentary knowledge, I want to improve being able to pick out the best animal from a herd and binos certainly help me in that endeavor.
