For sure about Aoudad. They have gone up but a free-range mountain hunt for them is the sheep equivalent of capra's Mid-Asian Ibex. They are two of the best mountain hunts in the world for the money.

Ibex will drive you nuts, which means they are worth it. Pakistan has some of the most professional outfitting in Asia. This pair came from Dureji.

This Mid-Asian Ibex was taken in Uzbekistan in July 2024 in the Western Tien Shan. 51" and 12 years old. Very rugged hunt. Ibex spend their time up high that time of year, but they are there. I doubt whether he will have survived the oncoming winter. At 8,000 feet, we saw snow measurement...

Try Superior Ammo.

So right. I remember Eddie Bauer's gun department. Fine guns there! I also remember that Marshall Fields had a nice gun department and they sold Belgium Brownings. And yes, Abercrombie & Fitch. I remember walking into it and a gunsmith was trying to open the chokes on a Merkel O/U and the steel...

ITEMS are SOLD. Thank you.

Sale Pending. Thanks to all who inquired.

I like the truck! Totally W&G original. When Land's End bought the brand and did virtually nothing with it I could not help to wonder what they had intended to do with it in the first place. Avedon & Colby (in business today at https://avedoncolby.com ) were among the team of original W&G...

I admit to being a classicist where safari is concerned - guns, calibers, etc. In my day, Willis & Geiger ruled the quality ranks where safari clothing was concerned. To that end, I collected safari shirts made with their finest materials, most notably their linen and gabardine cotton. At that...

Thank you. It was a butt kicker of a hunt. It was built around helicopter insertion to save a 3-day horseback ride in and 3-day trip out. But it was all boots on the ground and hunting up from there. Mysteriously, the area was hit with a freakish snowstorm just before we arrived and a big...

12-year-old monarch. 51"

Outstanding. Congratulations.

Just returned from Kamchatka where we were hunting coastal brown bears. Calibers ranged from .300 Win Mag to .375 H&H, each shooting TSX bullets. Bears seemed to crumple.

Good question and good discussion. I can vouch for Paradigm Carbon rifles. Barrier-breaking carbon tech in the stock and barrels solves temperature fluctuations between the range and minute by minute on the mountain. Zero once. Then go hunting up or down, in heat or cold, rain or shine, and they...

Excellent. Congratulations.

I can offer some insight. I recently helped the wife of a deceased hunter-friend liquidate a trophy collection of over 150 various species. It's important to check state laws first because each state governs what can and cannot be sold across state lines (e.g., leopards are one that usually...

I have a very good and gun-astute friend who has visited him. he came back with nothing but praise that he is a straight-up guy. I have personally been watching the inventory he gets for resale. Very impressive that so many good guns can be found in one place.

Try Kyrgyzstan, Kazakstan, and Uzbekistan for Ibex. Mid-Asin Ibex hunts in these countries are among the greatest international hunting bargains. When it comes to sheep, try free-range Aoudad sheep in SW Texas. When hunted free-range, they qualify for the World Slam of Sheep. For international...

ALL COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN SOLD. THANK YOU.

Sorry, just checked. I found my file indicating that I had sold the dies with the gun. Good luck with your project.

Ha!!! Mental telepathy? Let me check and get back to you.

Gents, I still lament the selling of my Abercrombie & Fitch import of a Take-down .333 Jeffery Rimless some time ago. But I just rediscovered some desirable reloading components that I had stored away and offer them for sale here. 3 boxes of new Bertram Unprimed Brass Cases (20/box). 2 boxes of...

I just returned from personally hunting brown bear on the Kamchatka Peninsula (late April-early May 2024). Fears are logical but the outcome of news headlines rather than reality on the ground. Summarily, the people were genuinely happy to see us - from Immigration and Customs officials and...

Just returned from our Spring 2024 Coastal Brown Bear hunt on the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia. Things could not have worked better for our group. We took our personal guns, and all 11 bears went 10+ square with 2 going 11+ square. Best guides I have experienced in 20 years of hunting. We were...

Before the USA's most recent "iron curtain" came down denying imports of legally taken polar bears in Canada, the US Fish & Wildlife Department opened up the pending import ban for public comment. This is a standard 90-day procedure allowing the citizenry at large to express their views and...

It was a pleasure to host you and your father on this mountain hunting adventure. Thank you for sharing your story.

Thank you. Yes, these are insulated (400 grams of Thinsulate). I just had a client order his normal size in a 10.5M and had to exchange them for a size 11M. It will come down to personal fit, and if you elect to buy them and they don't work out, just send them back and I will refund the full price.

Thank you. They have never let me down either. whether I'm backpacking with a heavy load or just needing to move in the rough stuff, they have always help up. From the sound of it, you spend time in the mountains hunting. So, I wish you the best.

Thank you, and the best of everything to you.

Thanks. I have worn a pair for years and can't wear them out. Moving sale yields the back-up pair I won't ever need. Great hunting experiences to you.

Size 11 (medium width) Mountain Extreme 400s. NEW, never even tried on. Original tags but no box. List is $520. Selling for $400 with shipping included to Lower 48. Thank you. See you on the mountain.

Along the Hunter's Path is SOLD. Thank you.

NEW condition hardcover books with covers also in new condition also. Along the Hunter's Path by Kai-Uwe Denker: $110 with shipping included to Lower 48. A Certain Curve of Horn: $55 with shipping included to lower 48. Thank you. PayPal or other.

Very nice. Pragmatic.

Great bear. Congrats. The .350 was the original short magnum, and although the 660/673 platforms that Remington used for it did not win favor with most, I used a 673 Guide Gun worldwide. It was hard to find a better gun for a Musk Ox sled in the Arctic. I took it iron sighted to Cameroon for...

The drive has been getting better with fully paved roads for about 6 hours of the journey. However, construction starts and stops at certain scheduled hours of the day. So, outfitters plan the drive accordingly.

Absolutely. And if you happen to also be at SCI in Nashville, I will be at the Arcqos Safaris booth. #2606. Thanks, and take care. Mark

Niassa wildebeest. Later season it's crawling with Eland.

Just FYI, while I won't call them "safari rifles", Matt Kranz, of Paradigm Carbon, is an engineering genius and build guns that shoot, and he delivers them without the wait. He has developed barrier-breaking carbon technology where the barrel is perfectly straight, and the stock is totally...

We have hunters in Tajikistan now and since the season began in September without issue. Hunters are actively planning to hunt Tajikistan 2025 and beyond. Same for Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia - no issues, and great experiences getting there, being there, and getting back all through...

I have found the versatility of the .375 to be exceptional outside of Africa. From deep woods whitetail, to desert mule deer, to brown bear, it has made sense. And many times, when I think I didn't need a .375 in Africa and deferred to something bigger, I wish I had taken one. I have shot a lot...

Polar Bear.

My copy is now sold. Thank you.

Others have offered their copies first, so do buy theirs first. If there is still a need for an absolute new book, mine is $335 with shipping included to the Lower 48. Thanks, Merry Christmas, and Happy Hunting.

Did you guys sell your copies of Into the Thorns? I have a new copy for sale, but only wanted to list it once I knew that doing so would not get in the way of you selling yours. Thanks, and Merry Christmas.

I have been buying collectible our-of-print hunting books for years and have an extra copy of the hard-to-find 1996 first edition with dust cover. I always purchased for condition, and both the hard cover book and dust cover are in fine condition. Clear protective plastic cover over the book...
