    Kimber 375 h&h

    That’s what my research is telling me. The 8400 seemed to be loved by people that have them. The older ones not so much.

    Kimber 375 h&h

    He sevens I was the one that messaged you about Moz. Yes Cape buffalo are on the menu. The plan is the wife will take her kimber 280 Ai. And the 375 seems to be an excellent gun to cover about everything. I currently don’t have anything larger than my 338 Montana. A caprivi or such isn’t the...

    Is 22” 280 Remington a Handicap?

    Just like Jason said, I’ve killed a truck load of stuff with 22” barreled 280 rem. Never felt handicapped either. Is it all you can get out of 280, absolutely not. I have a 26” barreled cooper than chronos higher velocities than a 24” barreled 7mm mag. Some barrels are faster than others. I...

    Kimber 375 h&h

    Looking into getting a 375 for a first trip to Africa. My wife and I really like kimber rifles, so I started looking into them. I soon found 2 kimber caprivis and one kimber of Oregon 89. My question is how does the kimber of Oregon compare to the caprivi on the 8400 action. The model 89 I...

    Blaser

    I get what you’re saying. I mainly hunt with synthetic stock rifles, only because I “trust” them in wet weather. But ultimately have hunted most with wood, even did my dall sheep hunt with a wood stock. I have a walnut mill as my business, I really enjoy the beauty of wood. So my outlook on...

    Blaser

    Looking at different options in Blaser rifles, I see some beautiful wood stocks. Since the gun is designed and operates differently than anything I am use to, I’m wondering if wood stocked R8s are susceptible to moisture and weather influences similar to traditional bolt action rifles? Is a...

    Blaser

    Holy long rolling threads here! I’ve been enjoying it, as a person who is looking at an R8 as an option to gain shortness for suppressors without having to sacrificing barrel length to do so. Lots of good info in this. One question, I hearing all the lack of quality in aftermarket barrels. What...

    Lightweight Suppressor Comparison and Poll

    Well since I’m already pushing the envelope of what can support a suppressor with my barrel and kimber adapter, and because cgs recommends the use of it, I thought it prudent to do so in my application. I do agree the Hyperion to be of very robust design. I’m only offering some insight I found...

    Lightweight Suppressor Comparison and Poll

    Well I have a kimber mountain ascent, I knew going in that I would have to use kimbers very small adapter to get to 5/8x24. But then I find out the cgs has a tapering thread that they “recommend” use of a tapered thread adapter if you don’t have tapered threads on your gun. So I get that which...

    Lightweight Suppressor Comparison and Poll

    Going back to way earlier posts, I bought both the dead air nomad Ti and Cgs Hyperion K at the same time. The entire buying process sucks for actually KNOWING what you really want. In the end with the way I had to mount it using an adapter on my thin barrel, the nomad Ti came in very close in...

    Alaska air baggage

    I don’t understand what was so difficult for you. I did all of it very easily last year after the harvest, since it was my plan C. Didn’t have any complications whatsoever even doing some of the communication from the field by inReach. Found the guy at the tannery to be enormously helpful, and...

    Moose or Elk

    Bugling elk is pretty amazing! But honestly have an enormous bull moose fired up in close or watching one come from a ways off to your calls gets my vote. I’ll also cast my vote to moose for eating as well, although elk are excellent eating as well. Opportunities for elk are more available and...

    Baggage policies

    My check in was a shit show, because all but one employee was very late including manager who had keys to gun declarations and other info. But on a good note, I was extremely nice with the one employee and not charged any more than the kiosk that prints the bag tags charged, which was far less...
