I personally prefer my Ruger No.1's they are tack drivers. They also seam to have less recoil per caliber than my bolt actions and are almost always lighter to carry even with the 2" to 4" longer barrels. Which always gives higher velocity with better drop numbers. My only Lever gun is in 45...

Sounds like you have good handle on most of it. Ya that's what they threw out the plane scratched it up good. I am also happy I may have helped you in any way those trips can be overwhelming and something always seems to be forgotten. I have never been to Mexico but have hunted hog and Javelina...

ml williford: Also get a pocket shot placement book if you do not already have one. Well pay for itself on the first one that drops lights out. I do not care what anyone says those African animals are tough, I have seen a Zebra run well over 1/2 a mile with a frontal heart shot + 2 shoulder...

ml williford: Flying with rifles overseas was on an eye opener and I was lucky enough to have went with my father that was educated from prior trips. Make double that the Air line knows you have firearms, lets you take them with ammo and get their rules. Delta and South African Air were no...

ml williford: Use what ever you are comfortable with it should be fine as long as it lets you pan as necessary and gives you good options in height. I am just not familiar with that brand. I have had good luck with Bog pod since they first hit the market years ago when all the rest were just 2...

I also agree with 066wally! After 4 trips to Zimbabwe for plains game and Leopard, I would take a rifle you are very very familiar with. Record Book quality targets of opportunity seem to happen very quickly when spotted and you need to be very confident on longer shots I.E. 500 yards plus if...

I am chomping at the bit badly to get to the range also. Need to test out a bunch of used pistols picked up since the fall Tulsa show. Plus 5 new Ar builds I pieced together while snowed in and a Savage 243 long range precision I picked up at Tulsa. ALL need to be to function checked and sighted...

Just to make it clear I do not condone the use of automotive chemicals on firearms as a practice to save money over quality firearm specific products. I have had good luck with Gun Slick foam for copper, Sweets 762 if it is really stubborn. Good soakings of Hoppe's and or Birchwood Casey...

AR10AR15MAN: PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH !!! not sort of wrong at all! I was talking exactly about the spray carb. cleaner you can buy right now at your favorite auto store. It may not be as strong as it used to be in the 60's 70's but still an acidic petrochemical READ THE CAN "CORROSIVE ON...

Hey guys: Just a heads up carburetor cleaner is an acid and is designed to be washed off with water that deactivates and removes it. If you think that the ammonia is hard on rifle barrels in the copper cleaner non deactivated carb. cleaner is way stronger and will etch the bore just as bad as...

practicing

again good luck and enjoy your hunt

there you go 225 to 250 grain should be just about right

that be a bronze

Hi Longest shot: After reading most all the posts and on 4 safari's in Africa I would recommend the A frame or Partitions in the heaviest weight your rifle will shoot with good groups they just work. Also a 15 to 25 lighter grained load for the smaller game that prints almost the same. I also...
