Good News for a change

Ah. OK. Maybe should have used the other ear to be "geographically correct". Looks great, anyway.
 
Amazing. Man, you got it all. I did notice the Africa with the big 5 at the gunshop entrance appears to be backwards. Is that intentional or a mistake?
We'll, yes it is an unintentional error... Always had the idea to get the Big5 painted on an elephant ear, representing the map of Africa.
So, looking at an elephant side on, the RIGHT ear is the correct shape and that's what I sent in... HOWEVER, the paintable side is the INSIDE, so now the ear is reversed/ mirrored and Africa gets to be the wrong shape... Oh well, I've gotten used to it now... Well spotted by the way!!!
 
Pretty good day today. My Ruger M77 250 Savage showed up at the gun shop and I ran up and picked it up right away. The place was packed with people buying handguns like they are going out of style and the ammo shelves were almost bare. Anyway the Ruger is a beaut if the guy shot it at all it certainly doesn't show it.
 
if you like pizza, and have contracted covid 19 that is good news.
reason being that if you get covid 19, it is now recommended to go on a diet of pizza.
pizza is the only food you can slide under a locked door.:cautious::eek:o_O

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
