A couple of Qs for the veterans
The Mrs. is getting into the spirit of things but has asked me a couple of questions that I can't answer so I'll leave it to the old timers who have done it before:
1) Apparently SA has a lot of snakes, many of which are venomous. What is the likelihood of encountering something like a mamba, puff adder, or cobra? Are snakeproof gaiters recommended? We ran into a water moccasin last year while hog hunting in Texas. I blew it apart with my 45-70, which she found amusing getting rained on...

30,000 Euro Porn Gun
There was a Steyr-Mannlicher about 20 years ago being sold by someone in Alabama that had similar Mann-goat woman sex going on.
It was an 8x68s for $3000.
This is the pro-version, a Ferlach horn dogs fetish rifle.
"Plus Peak" ammunition by Federal
Federal Plus Peak 6.5 Creedmoor Ammunition Just Killed the 6.5 PRC
Federal's new Plus Peak is a high-pressure, high-velocity ammunition that's poised to change rifle cartridge design as we know it.

Just read this article and watched a short clip about Federal's new "Plus Peak" ammunition coming out for the 6.5 Creedmore. For those who want the summary version:
Federal is taking their technology that created the 7mm Backcountry, and using it now for an existing cartridge. No new rifle or setup, just buy the new ammo and by it running higher pressures (safely), you gain 250-300 fps for same bullet, same...

Who else got busted by the "point creep" ?
To make a long story short, along with 2 friends, we had booked an antelope hunt in Wyoming for October 2026. At the time of drawing, we got busted!
In 2025, with 3,3 points in average for our group, we would have been 100% sure to draw tags. In 2026, it took 5 points for 100%. Outfitter said he missed 15 antelope hunters next fall because of the point creep. Versus 2025, our unit needed 2 more points to draw a tag, that was unheard of according to the Outfitter.
Anyone else got busted?

What is going on here ? Real Rigby ? Checkering quality.
Perusing Gunbroker, came across this rifle. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1179133089
Listed for $32,000, the checkering looks quite amatuerish. Overruns, the pattern does not match the points, just can't imagine this checkering quality or lack thereof on a Rigby rifle. Is this a "California Rigby" ? The bolt knob checkering looks also poorly done with overruns.
I would put this checkering one step above laser checkering, and certainly not worthy of a rifle with a $32,000...
