Had a great trip! The rifle and load worked perfectly and the outfitter was excellent. I was a bit early for the full rut but they started running does the last day I hunted. Didn’t get a lot of pictures of the buck because I shot him at last light and we had coyotes and a grizzly in the near...

My trigger finger is getting itchy!

Bergzicht. They’re about an hour out of Windhoek. Went there in 2010; had an amazing trip and and they’ve continued to grow and expand since then. They even have a rhino conservancy. Photo ops should be great.

Shot the above buck through my spotting scope this morning. He got roughed up by another buck. I want to put the other buck in my rifle scope. There are some big 10 pointers around here.

I’m already up here. Every Canadian within earshot was really happy about the election results. They’d like to do the same to Trudeau.

Hi Gerry, It’s running a 24” barrel but it’s got a long throat so I can seat those long bullets to magazine length and still have the long jump those ABLRs like. It’s a McGowan barrel and I’m really happy with it so far.

Well I’m finally going back! In May I’m taking my two kids to Namibia. I went back when they were in grade school and they loved the picts and stories I brought back so I promised them that I’d take them if they graduated from college. Well, they have and I am. I’ve given them a trophy fee...

As I write this I’m camped at the Marriott hotel in Grande Prairie Alberta. Tomorrow the outfitter is picking me up to check site in and take me to his cabin an hour away. I’m 3 flights and 1200 miles from home and Monday I start hunting whitetails for the first time! I’m a west coast hunter so...

Finally brought him home from the mammal mortician. Looks great in the Livingroom! 8' ceilings can be tough with a big elk but the taxidermist did great. I did the pedestal. It's a whiskey barrel that I got from Bull Run Distillery then burned the grain and stained it. My ex-wife saw it and...

Just finished brass prep on 500rds of 17x223 and 600rds of 20 practical. Ready to prime and load. Betcha can’t guess what I’ll be doing in the next couple of days.😀 Taking my kids to eastern Oregon to pop a couple thousand sage rats! The sun is out and so are they! 1k rds of 22rf, 1k rds of...

Good to see you shooting the old girl!I love mine. I got it shooting 1 1/2” groups at 100 yards. I’m thinking I might compete with it in the service rifle class. Mine is completely USGI. I even have the correct bayonet for it. Might come in handy if the Portland riots ever come to town.😂...

Productive weekend on the rifles. The 280AI and the 25x284 both got pillar bedded and barrels free floated. Next weekend will be action bedding and loading up some break in rounds. Maybe Sunday I’ll even make it to the range!

That is a heirloom Scotty! I'm sure you keep taking it out of the safe to just admire it.

I've been out of the game for a while. Getting kids graduated from college, divorce (no more liberal chicks for me), and a job that burns a lot of hours. Thought I'd jump back in with both feet! The top one is a Win 70 30-06 rebarrelled to a 280AI. I replaced the mag box with a 3.6" one and...

In about 3 weeks I'll have a 25x284 with a fast twist barrel returning from my smith. Been a long wait this time around. Built on a Win 70 SA with a mag length of 3.1". Used a 7.5"twist lilja barrel. Can't wait to wring it out with the blackjacks and Bergers I have. Hoping Nosler comes out with...

Good Morning, Picked up a 6.5 Creed in a Kimber 84 a while back. I've always shot 129-147gr bullets in my other guns with great results. Built a couple good loads for the gun already but recoil is a little stiff because the gun is pretty light. I'm looking for a hunting bullet/load for my...

Try RL17, RL16, Ramshot Hunter, H414, W760, HLVR, Viht N550, CFE 223, Ramshot Big game, IMR4895

Found this the week before Christmas. It's a 338-06 built on pre '64 Win 70, 23" featherweight barrel in a custom stock. It's been hunted but it's in very good shape. The bore is about as pristine as it can get. Found it on GB for 750$. Merry Christmas to me! I'll try 200grABs and 210 Partitions...
