Gentlemen I am visiting my daughter in Brooklyn New York next week. Is there a museum in the area where I can see a full mount of an African elephant or even the skeleton? Going to hunt in Namibia next year. Thanks for any advice. Only Asian elephants in Australia.

The American Museum of Natural History across from Central Park has a great diorama of elephants. It is especially amazing because Carl Akeley did the taxidermy over 100 years ago. There are also some other amazing animals like Giant Sable. Well worth the visit IMHO.

Than you very much. I look forward to visiting. I trust my 5 year old granddaughter will not be asking difficult questions [emoji3]
 
Thank you Wheels. A magnificent display. They even have a separate exhibition on the hidden life of elephants with a projection of the elephants heart, lung, and digestive system.

Thank you wheels. Fantastic display. I think visiting here is a must before hunting for these magnificent beasts.

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
