That seems like a great deal! My gun budget is already spent, otherwise I'd be all over it

There is only one place on Ammo Seek that has it right now, and they only have two boxes in stock. I've never seen it in real life.

Thank you all for your insight. It's good to see that there a quite a few good quality factory loads available. I'm starting out with the 405gr loads I mentioned before for practice. If nothing else, I'll get a little trigger time and have 60 pieces of brass saved for the future. Maybe those...

I assume you recommend a solid like the DGS for elephant. When it comes to cats, are you wanting a bullet that expands quicker than the TSX? BTW, I'm really looking forward to reading your book!

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to use solids to hunt deer around here. I like your suggestion to use some of the lighter bullets. I think I will look into some of the custom ammo manufacturers to find a load that my rifle likes and is tailored for my target. Ammoseek is one of my favorite...

Fun fact about wolves. There are more wolves in Minnesota than in any other state beside Alaska. The Great Lakes region is home to more wolves than the rest of the lower 48 combined. Yet, based on a ruling from some judge in DC who has likely never seen a wolf in the wild, wolves in the great...

I have been thinking about using it for deer a little, just to get some trigger time with it. Hornady ammo definitely seems to be the most common. Big as our whitetail might be, I have a feeling the 500gr dgx might be too tough for them. Anyone know if federal still makes the 400gr TBBC?

Well boys, I might be an idiot. I recently acquired my first big bore -- a Winchester Model 70 in 458 Win Mag. I am not a reloader, at least not yet. So, which of the currently available factory loads in 458 win mag do you prefer for cheap (or relatively cheap) practice, and which do you like...

Wait till you hear what happens when you give a moose a muffin...

Say what you will about Dodge, but they give the people what they want.

Gunbroker is a wild place.

I think Core-Lokts are very good bullets for what they are. When used at moderate velocities, they seem to be very reliable and effective.

Welcome from another Wisconsinite with dreams of Africa!

I'm far from an expert bear hunter. A lot of the experienced bear hunters I've talked to seem to favor the 12 gauge with slugs or really anything that throws a big heavy projectile kinda slow. Generally, its seems like for bears at least, two holes are better than one and bigger holes are better...

Sounds like a great hunt in some beautiful country. Thanks for sharing!

That makes it a little better lol This scope is tailor made for the northwoods

Dang that was quick. Great buy. If this sale doesn't work out, I'd take it.

Yeah, their eyes just glaze over. It's like explaining calculus to a third grader.

I'm 35 and none of my friends and hunting companions like nice guns. They all want black plastic stocks and big chunky scopes. I only have one friend who likes wood on his guns and he is perfectly happy with Remington and Ruger stuff. I had to explain what a CZ was. Terms like Blaser or Rigby...

I think a lot of our wives just breathed a collective sigh of relief. Congrats

I'm far from an expert, but I think the P14 Eddystone in .303 was only built from 1914-1917. I'm not sure if that helps or not. It is a good looking gun. I'm seriously tempted but have no need for a 505.

I'm interested to see how this turns out. This is the first I've heard of GunFoam, sounds like it is a better alternative to cutting your own foam. Have you used Pelican's design your own foam thing? If so, how does the GunFoam app compare?

A number of states have non-resident OTC tags for black bear, and those are in areas where a lot of public land. One issue I've found is that a lot of the OTC options for pronghorn and deer are in units with primarily private land, and sometimes that can be tough to get access to.

Exactly. The plaintiffs, and those funding them, don't care about the verdict. The process is the punishment.

My point was not that there are people who are actively trying to increase the hog population, rather I was proposing the idea that as long as people can make money letting others hunt the hogs, they have no incentive to do EVERYTHING necessary to actually reduce the population. As a few in...

I noticed this line in the article: ”Robinson said other wildlife management agencies in the South had recommended the Kentucky agency take measures to prevent a problematic “pig hunting culture” from being established." Let's face it, right now, pig hunting is big business. There are tons of...

That's a good looking bear! Nicely done!

The suspense is killing me! I am jealous of the baiting rules that the Canadians have. Ours in Wisconsin are much more strict. We are limited to 10 gallons of bait at each bait site, including any liquid scents. Our baits have to be housed in naturally occurring materials, so pretty much...

Perhaps this is a stupid question, in which case, please forgive my ignorance. Why wouldn't a PH have a second PH from the area accompany him on a follow up? It kind of makes me wonder if the client is generally considered useless when following up wounded dangerous game, so from the PH's...

I stumbled upon a great YT channel a year or two ago. Each video is an audio recording of some of the great hunting stories from Colonial India, including authors like Jim Corbett, Kenneth Anderson, and the like. I don't have as much time to read as I'd like, but I've been able to listen to...

No sure I can be much help. Even the big chain supermarkets carry local cheese around here. I prefer the pepper jack from Weyauwega that is widely available here. I'm not sure if you can find where you are. I like that they use jalapeños and habeneros, not just jalapeños like a lot of places do.

Freshly made cheese curds are my love language.

Yeah those little CZs seem to be accurate with any ammo, no matter how cheap and crappy

I've been reading a lot of Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson books as of late, so this would be a great addition to my reading list.

I think I've spent more time in the woods with this little rifle than any other gun the past few years. It's a CZ 527 in 7.62x39, and is a joy to carry. It's been pretty effective on deer and yotes. Probably should put a scope on it at some point, but the irons have been working fine so far.

I can only assume that you purchased it and will share pictures momentarily...

I think I've heard it said every possible way at this point

Welcome aboard, looking forward to hearing some of your hunting experiences!

Those are great looking bears! That's a story you'll be telling for the rest of your life, glad you eventually made it back home?

I have heard and read it over and over that PF rifles are more accurate and have often asked for an explanation, but I have yet to receive a coherent one. I have typically been told to look at what rifles the snipers and benchrest shooters are using, but that doesn't address why one would be...

For the life of me, I can't figure out why PF would be more accurate. You'd think there would be a dozen things that make a bigger impact on accuracy than PF vs CRF

Thanks! I have been to the website, and Khomas Safaris is on my short-list of places for my first Africa trip. I am looking forward to your hunt report from your recent trip as well! You took some beautiful animals, particularly the sable. Nicely done.

Thank you for that detailed response, that is exactly the info I was looking for.

Thanks Everyone! I'm learning so much already

Welcome fellow newbie! I'm just across the pond from you in Wisco, unless you're a Youper, in which case I'm just down the road.

I see that CEB makes the Raptors for a wide variety of calibers. Does anyone have experience using them on smaller (.308 and below) calibers where the typically loadings are already light for caliber in comparison to these larger bore calibers? In other words, typically, smaller caliber rifles...

Prayers for a quick recovery!

Has anyone used a thumb-side safety like that? I wonder if it would be more natural to disengage as you mount the rifle vs the safety in the typical location. I've found the back to fire safeties like the BRNO rifles (and the CZ 527) to be pretty quick to use. It's like cocking the hammer on...

Some of us are just born to creep! Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Hello, I have been lurking here for the better part of the last year and have finally decided to step out of the shadows. I ended up hare originally because I have come to love classic hunting rifles, and nowhere online seems to embrace these works of art like AH does. While creeping around...
