What a great 2026 SCI convention last week in Nashville, Tennessee. Below are a few taxidermy pictures from the convention:



Replica snow leopard - I was so amazed by this artwork and trophy mount that I went to the Conroe Taxidermy booth nearby and asked them how they got a real snow leopard into the states…they replied its a replica. The only snow leopard mount, replica or otherwise, that I have ever seen.

I’m always on the hunt for a new knife, especially folders. Only have close to a hundred probably but who cares? Currently carrying the Spyderco Metropolitan right now. Highly recommend.

Check those cross bolts! I was at the range yesterday shooting my new M70 Safari Express in 375 H&H. After the first 20 rounds or so I noticed the cross bolts screws were very loose. That ended the range session. I pulled the screws and put some blue lock tight on the threads and torqued them back down. I would think the manufacturer would have done this! Better to have this happen at the range than in the field!

I have not seen so many of them...but I do know that many of them were made on the same action size as 450/465/470´s and thus weighed up to 11 pounds wich is more than necessary in this caliber..

I have a 450/400 3 1/4 made 1906 that is made on a smaller lighter action...nice to carry and relatively light...recoil aka .375H&H..

But wich are most common...the ones made on the large actions or the lighter ones..?
