While my wife and I were stalking a buffalo in the Selous she lost a pair of Costa sunglasses with turquoise rims and gray lens. Where we stopped the hunting car to start the stalk I notice some monkeys and one baboon. They were expensive so looking too recover them. We looked high and low but never found the sunglasses so I deducted that baboon made off with them. Being the only baboon in the Selous, maybe in all of Africa, sporting Costa sunglasses there must be some sightings. Please post any sightings or information you may help in my efforts. Thanks in advance. Pole Pole
 
I thought this was going to be about dressing up baboons. I used to not like putting Santa hats on pedestals. I thought it was demeaning then I saw action Bob’s I believe Bat eared fox with some shades. That looked really cool. It’s your mount do what you want!

A year ago I lost my ESS glasses on a pheasant hunt. The subject is useful, because the shot is flying here and there. I wanted to go look for them this year, I roughly remembered the place. But I didn 't have time :(. You won't find anything under the snow.

Yes! Looks familiar so I think we have serial sunglasses thieves. Must be a good black market in Dar.
 
Does the owner offer fun rides with ammo and targets?
Lone Star Flight Museum south of Houston offers rides. I have done their bi-plane, T-6 Texan, Dauntless and B-17. Going to finish with the P-51. These were birthday presents from my wife. She my be trying to get rid of me. This comes to mind when asks if if I was a flight for my birthday. Hahahaha. Does anyone have a good bush plane story?

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
