Buy it with a bracelet and add the strap. You will regret buying the strap only.

The extra hand and the date window detract from the pure simplicity of the lines on something like an Oyster Perpetual. At least that’s my thought. The (now out of production) Omega Railmaster is another purist piece, but I know how much @Kevin Peacocke loves a Rolex. ;)

Conservation Canada goose season in Upstate NY 2024. IGS and I took 17 in a few hours on the river opening day. Three of which were banded. A few days later a group myself and a group of guys took down seven in a field...and FIVE of those were banded!

I've been using 7.5's and 8's at 1150 to 1200 fps. I prefer Federal Top Gun loads because the Remington and Rio leave a lot more residue. I can usually find them for $100/250 shells at Rogers Sporting Goods and it's shipped for free! I haven't seen a significant difference between using 7.5's...

I’m shot my first round of 5-stand with @HankBuck a while back. I normally use a FULL choke for skeet, wobble and sporting clays to keep my skills sharp. However, on this day I had recently returned from a turkey hunt and still had my TKY (0.665” diameter) in the SBE3 by mistake. I still...

Here's a picture of magazine insert 8 & 9 with the cartridges they are used for. I still think the 8 would be the way to go with a 300H&H.

I didn't realize you were taking a 404J. In that case, I will double down on the 300WM decision because you already have a DG ready rifle and ammo availability (with your backup PG rifle) is paramount with any traveling hunter. Hope you have a successful trip.

The secret answer is that a safari is the perfect reason to pick up a new (or new to you) rifle...like a 375H&H! I know old @Bob Nelson 35Whelen will be along shortly with all his hooting and hollering...singing the praises of the mighty Col. Whelen. But at the end of the day, when that massive...

LOL. Sometimes I feel like I'm misrepresenting because I often wear a Beretta ball cap, but am usually found carrying a Benelli SBE3 or Blaser F3. However I did buy the caps when I owned two 686's and still currently have a 1301. ;) Beretta makes some damn good clothing.

Most likely would be the same as the 375H&H insert or what Blaser calls Magazine 8. They are near mirror images of each other, no surprise as they were introduced just 13 years apart and from the same gun house. 300H&H 375H&H Magazine 9 covers 257WBY, 270WBY, 300WBY, 300WM, 338WM, 7RM...

@0002S - I hope you, your Seamaster Diver 300 and the 470NE enjoy the safari. Looking forward to the hunt report. What's on the menu?

Not the first time I've heard of that happening, but I've never experienced it first hand. I believe the last one was mounted backwards by the sporting goods shop.

Gotta look the part. LOL. Let us know what she decides on.

You will need a good connection to WiFi or strong tower signal for using your iPhone. That said, 2 out of 4 bars usually works pretty good for me. Although your experience may be different in Canada.
