We have a lady on the forum that hunts all over the world and does so with, I think, only six calibers and the swede is one of them. My wife and now my daughter loves the swede. Ours has taken deer, antelope, caribou, black bear, coyotes and wolves. You will never be sorry for buying a swede...

(-: Your not drinking the Kool aid Scotty---I bet Dubyam agrees with me. (-; It would be funny now if what fotis choose was a Bee.

Weatherby, any caliber. As we all know if the animal can see your hunting them with a Weatherby, they have a heart attack and die, you dont even have to pull the trigger. You spend a little more for a Weatherby but you save a bundle in ammo costs--it all balances out. Fotis seems to be a...

No Aleena, this over simplifies the decision LOL But it made me laugh and is probably as good a way as any to make the decision of, "which one" Charlie, I am another who has come to appreciate the 340. For this area it is a great "one gun" caliber

Mr Miner. I agree whole heartedly ! At the moment we find outfitting four of us ( myself, wife, son, and daughter) is costing more than hunting, as long as we stay in Alaska. Obviously if we started paying for fishing charters and hunting guides it would then be more for hunting. But so far...

Congratulations Scotty. Both on the scope and the wife. Very nice Scotty

Aleena, I enjoyed your post and was sorry to see it gone. I am sure I know why but everybody does not feel the same way. I am sure several would have enjoyed your post, and I am sure Charlie, Jim, Scotty and others would have. But, I understand. I want you to know that I for one enjoy...

Excellent point Dr. Mike. To date I have spent more on firearms, scopes, ammo, and everything else it takes or I want associated with hunting than the hunting trips themselves. If I add into the equation my two teenage children who also love to hunt, then the cost of firearms and scopes far...

For me, in most years the cost of firearms exceed my hunting trip costs

John, --Fotis is correct, however, Chiappa makes good guns and they test them at 35500 psi. For years the old 45/70 Govt took a lot of game so if you like the the gun Chiappa manufactures, I would not shy away only because of the psi issue. I am as guilty as the next in wanting more, of...

Scotty, there is another option. But the wait time and cost is not for everyone. When we moved up here, A told me that if i wanted something different, was willing to reload, was willing to wait, and was willing to pay twice the BLR cost that I should order a lever action from Wild West guns...

Same here scotty. We have older ones and even the one we bought our son last year all work very well. Henry is making the 45/70 and we will soon have one, so I will let you know how it works out scotty. If I had the money I would buy one like A has--a Kilimanjaro--but alas the funds are not...

+ 1 John, do you remember Bill ( Triple A ). Anyway I had also planned on going a different direction but after hearing from Bill and Aleena, I also now have a 416 Rigby and love it. You will not be disappointed and as Russ says being stomped, gored, bitten and clawed is not a good thing. I...

Charlie is correct on all points-------However--LOL The 340 Weatherby is smack dab between the 338-06 and 35 Whelen and will reach out further and hit harder than either one of them, Scotty so that folks will not think I have lost my mind, please show the 340 with a 250 gr in comparison with...

John, sorry I missed this thread until now. I have forwarded on to you some ideas. Listen to her john, her guidance has put me in a position of now being able to take my son with me for a father and son Africa Safari. She was aware that my father left me this trip in his will when he passed...

John, were you and your wife known as --Bonnie and Clyde, in a different lifetime LOL Great find, my dad run into those type of buys from time to time at out of the way estate sales, where the owner is selling stuff that probably belonged to a deceased family member. I unfortunately have never...

First--apologies to Geo, we got a tad off topic, but will return with my last sentence Scotty when he was loading for our son and his 45/70, I found out he has used North Fork, Pile Driver, Buffalo Bore, Hammerhead, Swift and GS Custom and I was told they all work well. His personal favorite...

Scotty I was able to talk with him last night for a few minutes and found that 1, When he first bought his 35 whelen it never really was able to take the place of his 375 H & H, as he was still able to get more bang for his buck with the old H & H 2. so he had another 35 Whelen made only it...

We used this when we lived in El Paso Dr. Mike. We only use a homemade sauce that my uncle came up with years ago since being up here. We use it on almost everything that comes out of his freezer. We never had Dall Sheep meat before we came up and I do believe it is the best meat I have ever...

Going back to our son working this summer in the mountains he sent a note to his mother telling her he was making Bear stew and it was pretty good. He says for four campers he makes it like so and then just adds to it for more people. The recipe was given to him, and/or taught to him, by his...
