    They are now reporting that one lane both directions will be open sometime Saturday afternoon. They have been lucky that there have been no substantial rains in the last week so that they didn't have to evacuate the canyon. On the east bound section there is a piece of freeway that had a...

    Ruger No 1 .300 Weatherby

    On the accuracy, that forend screw can and does affect it depending on the tension that is placed on it. On my 22-250 if it is too tight the best group that I can shoot is about 2" at 100 yards. Get it just right and you can put 5 shots into a single hole at 100 yards.

    Ruger No 1 .300 Weatherby

    They are still making #1's. Right now they are cambering them in 257 Weatherby, 275 Rigby (7x57), and the 6.5 Creedmore. Plus there are other production models for individual wholesalers or distributors that want something special. My mouth started drooling when I saw that 257 Weatherby on...

    Ruger No 1 .300 Weatherby

    Have you thought about finding a #1 in 300 Winchester mag and then having it re-chambered? While Ruger did make runs of the .300 Weatherby them may command a premium price if you find one, but right now everything is commanding a premium price.

    The rest of our lives. It seams that every summer they tear up a section and rebuild it. Last year before the fire in the canyon they had the west bound section closed for most of the way through the canyon to rebuild something, perhaps they redid all the expansion joints. Since a lot of the...

    Ruger No 1 .300 Weatherby

    Go for it. I love my 2 #1's. One in 22-250 and the other is a 270 Weatherby mag. On the African forum that I am on there are quite a few members who love them also and there are a few very long threads going on about them. Then there are the ones that they are converting to 500 Nitro...

    Well it finally happened......I destroyed a gun.

    Glad you are alright. I think that I was lucky when I found a few of my .340 Weatherby loads under loaded. And I know what you mean by how Weatherby loads fill the cases to the brim so to speak. It'll be interesting to see if you find a problem.

    Trophy Hunting...

    Quite a few of the outfitters in Africa want you to shoot a good trophy, and in my case the outfitter promised a SCI class trophy or at least the chance of one. All of the animals that I shot on my first safari would qualify for the SCI club trophy list and three of them would rank in the top...

    If it isn't licensed then yes it does. And if it is licensed you may be restricted on what trails you can drive it on.

    Trophy Hunting...

    No problem, but with the way regulations and the USDA is Africa is for trophy hunting. And while 99% of the animal gets used locally the only thing that the hunter gets to bring home is the "trophy" part of it and the memories.

    Searching For A Very Small Block & Tackle

    A lot of people don't realize just how big a moose is until you have to move it. A number of years ago I was on a bison hunt in Utah when my brother in law shot one. When I got up to it I thought that I would just grab the horns and wrench the head around to where we could get a good...

    Yes you do need a tag for your ATV. You can get one the day that you get there but run the risk of the store being out of them. Or just get it through the mail, then when you receive it you can slap it onto your ATV and be done.
