I’m spending the week in Americus Georgia and am looking to take my son to some gun shops in the area. Where I live, most are very corporate and bland or private and bland. Meaning they only carry, tactical items, mainstream production guns or low quality hardware store guns that simply no...

I want to take my son (15) on a multi day hog hunt next month. He has spring break and we are able to go from March 15-24th; allowing for travel days on the front and back end. In a perfect world the hunt would consist of both thermal at night and day hunting as well; a 50/50 mix. I am...

I’m searching for a good condition, used .223 barrel to fit a Blaser R8. Does not need to have iron sights. If anyone has one for sale, I would be interested to discuss. Thanks, John

I’m preparing for a Minnesota to Alaska flight and back with my 14 year old son. My wife and I were discussing the air travel portion. We realized we had never traveled without each other while flying with him. Is there anything special we need to do, permission slip/ paperwork wise for me...

I worked up some loads using Varget and will be testing them soon to tweak a little for accuracy. I also have H4350 that I could use for the same cartridge and bullet weight. I’m not asking for advice, what I am curious about is what motivates you to try different powders? I’m certain that...

I have heard that wild hogs are great table fare. I have also heard they can be full of bad nasty things and should either be cooked to death or not eaten at all. What does the group think?

When I get to the point of completed handloads, I plan to do some load development at my home. I intend to shoot groups at 100 yards, trying to find hunting accuracy and checking velocities. I have a small field and swamp for my backyard, I do need to build a backstop. I own a backhoe so...

I have pretty much all the basic equipment I need to reload. Long story short my brother and I were halves on the equipment and I bought out his half. The thing is, he was the brains behind our reloading. My question to the group is, if I am not concerned with precision long range shooting...

Contemplating the Partition and the A Frame for buffalo in Africa. It seems the general consensus is A Frames are the go to bullet. However, do the Partitions lack in some way; and if so, how? I am very early in planning a safari, so no, I have not asked a PH/outfitter what they prefer. John

I have been on the Forum for a while and would like to better use the site. I have tried to use the search function and can’t seem to effectively do so. Please provide some tips and assistance thanks, John

I have told a few of you, that I bought a Blaser R8 while on Vicodin as I was recovering from a minor surgery. Let's call it my therapy gun? Anyway, it came with 6.5 Creedmoore and a .300 Win Mag standard contour barrels. I would like to trade the .300 mag barrel for a 30-06, standard...

My first ever dedicated gun room is finished as of today! A little cleaning and then bring in the guns, ammo and reloading gear. My wife and have moved from house to house about 12 times in the last 20 years and finally now, I get my own space to tinker on the guns.

This week on Tuesday, my wife and son graduated from their hunter’s safety course. They took the class together so she and he have achieved that honorable goal. In both the field and book tests they scored excellent, I couldn’t be more proud. In this world of busy schedules, they made the...

I expected someone else to have posted about this and maybe they did and I missed it? In this year’s July issue of American Rifleman there is an article about a Beverly Hills Business man named William Feldstein. He wanted an custom .600 NE and some other rifles made, however H&H had committed...

My wife and I are traveling with our son to San Antonio at Christmas time this year. We will be hauling our Jeep on a trailer and staying in the City. The place we are staying has limited parking so I am hoping someone around that area has a place where we could park the truck and trailer. We...

A safari that never came to be for my family and myself led me to join this forum. In 2016 my dad was fighting cancer and purchased a hunting trip to South Africa at an NRA banquet auction. He, myself and my brother planned to go. Unfortunately, dad became too sick too fast and the trip was...
