whoa, whoa whoa;) I had no problem giving a thumbs up to Guy, even Jim, but lets dont get carried away guys;) Seriously, I actually believe the good Doctor is one of the kindest, most giving, knowledgable and helpful individual on this fine forum ! Also fellows, I will be gone for awhile ...

Dr Mike, first and foremost, very nicely done ! Being in Canada, it was a little harder getting those handguns to the range than it would be in the States. Glad you were willing to take the time to do so As an aside Dr.Mike. I had to smile--when I was taught in the 1940's, the area in...

and helping others is not new for Mr. Miner. He has served, protected, and helped society through his life, as has Salomchaser and Scotty I thank them for their service to our country, society and this forum

Jim, you can find them and hunt them in several countries in Africa. I respectfully recommend Tanzania You can also hunt Gemsbok in Tanzania, but if Gemsbok was your prime hunt list, I would recommend the Kalahari Desert in Namibia. If time permits, visiting places like Victoria Falls, Cape...

Good ! Woodleigh is also suppose to manufacture some of the bullets they once made, but not all Does anyone know if someone has purchased the equipment from whoever inherited it, at Alaska Bullet Works and are there any plans to produce bullets in the future or, is this another one that is...

thats great Jim, congratulations. You will enjoy that rifle/caliber you did not mention where you were taking the rifle to hunt, but if it will be used on any of the dangerous 7, I would respectively suggest ( as your second shot ) a solid. We used GSC Flat Nose monolith solids and they...

Excellent post and information. Thank you I am unable to hunt now but had the opportunity to hunt several European countries in the past and loved doing so. My favorite countries to hunt were Scotland----Pheasants Ireland--Fox ( horse and hound, no rifle ) Sweden--Capercaillie Spain--Ibex...

God made everyone beautiful. He just spent a little more time on women who hunt ;)

Hawk, please accept my apologizes as this veers a bit off subject. I was asked privately by a member to share this with you and others on this thread. My husband loved the 375 H & H and I also had one and used it quite a lot until we went on a ski trip to Austria one winter and visited...

NICE ! You will love it Congratulations. The title of your thread is what caught my attention. This has been discussed and compared within my family and with friends who own both and again going back to the title of your thread the old saying "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin"...

It happens. I miss bitterroot , but not A square I am still looking for the animal that the Creed can knock down better then the Swede I miss The Highwaymen, but some likes "new" country I dont want to know any thing else about the Depp/Heard marriage, but they keep putting updates at the top...

What wonderful news ! Job well done Catherine and thank you ! :love::love: And---your off ---very excited for you guys. Enjoy! Small price to pay for the adventure you two are about to have/enjoy.;) "If" time allows, fly to Victoria Falls while your there and have a cocktail on the...

Love them both, but lets not forget Westley Richards. their 425 Double, with their drop lock ,would work on your next trip to Africa , or on your first trip Cheyenne. However, there have been some in the past that hunted everything in Africa with the 7 x 57 ;)

One of the drawbacks to the rifle, Mr Gunner, is it does not produce the necessary Joules to legally hunt buffalo with it in Namibia, but it is an adequate caliber for all plains game. The girls in my family have looked at and had several rifles made of women, from Europe and America. One of...

Gil, there are several and for different reasons, but to pick one that myself, Daughter. Granddaughter, and Great Granddaughter all would put into this category is the Ludwig Borovnik double 9.3 x 74R 'Secret of Artemis" . If you look it up and check out the 4 or 5 pictures of the engraving...

I understand and agree with you, however on the other side of the coin, they must be doing something right as they have stayed in business for 18 years after deciding not to renew the liquor license. I am sure they knew many people who visited the store would no longer do so when they...

Jim, I have seen a lot them disappear . There is a shop in Flagstaff Az that has been there since ( from memory ) 1932 -- Ruffs . The first sporting goods store I remember. In 2004, it was bought by someone outside the family that started it and I thought the worse. But it is still there...

I thought being able to hunt quail and squirrels with one gun ( a combination ) was the cats meow when I was a young girl. Later, the drilling was a fun gun, especially in overlapping seasons . As the years rolled by the weight of the drilling was a negative however.

Pretty rifle, congratulations, enjoy !
