    Is it feasible to travel with a Supressor to Africa?

    Ask your outfitter if they have an extra. I took a metric adapter and put his suppressor on my kids rifle last time. Easy peasy

    416 Ruger Alaskan

    I have a 416 Alaskan that I’ve had for a few years that I’d like to put up for sale. I got this gun from Toby458 some years back and have taken it to Africa once. I replaced it this past year with a Winchester 416 REM and a 375H&H. The gun has a light colored Hogue stock that I put on it last...

    AUSTRALIA: Top End Buffalo Down Under

    As a little boy one of the first movie heroes that made an impression on me was the original crocodile hunter …Michael J. (Crocodile) Dundee. Whether it was foiling poachers with a dead Kangaroo, introducing us to what a real knife was, or sweeping the girl off her feet, everything of the late...

    Namibia will cull 83 elephants and 30 hippos to distribute meat to people hit by drought

    I've got a Nonuse Elephant - Hippo hunt for 2025 in Namibia on the books. I think its a great collaboration, but to sell them on short notice is probably hard. I mean it's still a $15-20k+ undertaking once you factor in guide costs and flights and everything. For hunters to drop that kind...

    Wanted .416 Remington Boxes

    A little bit of a weird request, but I'm looking for 2-3 factory boxes for an upcoming trip to Australia. I have a ton of reloaded ammo, but I don't have any factory boxes that make bringing ammo easier than the aftermarket plastic boxes. If anyone has a couple old boxes lying around, I'd be...

    Reloading questions for 416 Ruger

    Be careful with loading .416 Barnes based on other loads. Barnes TSX are copper, so they are typically longer than a lead bullet to get the same weight. A lot of TSX loads are compressed, especially in the Ruger case.

    Age for kids?

    In 2021 I took both of my boys . They were 7 & 11. Both killed 4 animals a piece and handled hunting just fine. They both had killed multiple deer at that point and we still spent a bunch of time shooting beforehand. The only 2 regrets were that I don’t think the 7 year old really will...

    .416 Ruger

    WI-2021 , how did the gunsmith go about threading the Alaskan? Did he take off the sight band, resize, and reset it on the barrel?

    Affordable big bores no longer being offered by the big guys

    Can you even get a M70 or a Ruger 416 right now? I know they are showing as available on their sites, but I haven’t seen a new version of either available in a year.

    Headed to Scotland Fall 2023

    I am also headed to Scotland in 2023. I think if you look around a bit, you will be able to find what you want pretty reasonably. Don’t rule out red stag culls, they are pretty darn reasonable some places. We’re flying into London for a few days and taking the sleeper train up to Scotland...

    Deep Thoughts on trophy shipping

    I just got my stuff back from 2021 Safari , and after the shipping and the mounts I’m ashamed to say it will be north of $20k. Scared the absolute crap out of me, and makes me question why. Don’t get me wrong, I love to look at the mounts, but pictures go a long way with 20k It was a Safari...

    .375 Barnes Banded Solids

    Forgive my ignorance, but what is the issue with the round nose solid for an elephant? I see some of these are for sale and thought about picking up 100 for the .416 ruger. How do they compare to say a DGS ?
