Last day of Safari sadness
I managed four hours of sleep last night. And it wasn’t restful. There’s a heavy burden of dread bearing down on me. The inevitable day is upon me finally and I could no more escape it than I can stop the sun from rising in 3 hours.
I’m sitting here in camp listening to wild Africa conduct business as usual on this early morning. Crocks snapping their jaws closed followed by a rolling splash in the river mere yards from where I sit sends shivers down my spine and raises goosebumps on an...

Savage Arms Customer Service
I bought a Savage Long Range Hunter for a friend of mine last season NIB from my LGS.
Great shooting rifle chambered in 260 Rem.
At the end of the season we noticed that the rubberized coating on the stock was starting to peel. Did not interfere with the function of the gun but it made the gun look like it had the start of a disease, ugly as hell! I sent an email to Savage with a few pictures of the gun and the box end asking if I could get a new stock. Turns out that this gun was new old...

New Rifle & some reloading advice sought
Hello everyone,
Well it's exciting times as I took the plunge and acquired my first double, nothing too fancy but a Merkel 141 in 9.3x74R.
I've been waiting for some decent light to take some photos, but I'll put some up soon...in the meantime though I'm champing at the bit to shoot it!
I've put together some reloading components and plan to use Hornady's ECX 250 gr bullet. I'm in the UK so I'm limited to an all copper projectile.
My question relates to bullet seating depth, and how...

a few questions to the Alaska bearhunters and Alaska residents.
Hello everyone,
I am currently reading—once again—the magnificent book by Frank Dufresne, *No Room for Bears*.
It is a work I read with great enthusiasm back in my youth.
In it, the author described just how endangered brown bears and grizzlies were, due to insufficient conservation measures and the powerful logging industry destroying their coastal habitat.
This was particularly true on the ABC Islands (Admiralty, Baranof, and Chichagof).
The book was written a good 60 years ago.
