Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 24HCF HOG HUNT FOR 2014 :ADVANCE INFO

I think Grape Ape currently holds the title.

Yup, lol

Gunner

Will there be a bikini contest?


How about a hairy donut contest?

I don't know if I want all the hassle of flying with a firearm. Anybody got a gun I can use?

You can use one of my biceps, if you want.

Extra guns? Us?

How about this one?

I will be flying with firearms anyway, not that hard to pack another in my aluminum travel case. I was going to bring lever actions in 32 Special and 348WCF anyway, and you could sure use one or both of those with us trading off after one pig each or I would pack my 340 Tyranosaur or 416 Rigby. The Rigby is GORGEOUS, and I used it last year on one pig.

Thanks Mark, I'll ponder that. My travel plans include a side jaunt to Michigan top visit family�.so more on/off planes and baggage fees etc...

Here is the Rigby, it was the rifle I wrote about in African Hunter Magazine a few years ago, article entitled "how to make a CZ 550 into a World Class Dangerous Game Rifle" Upgrades include stock by Karnis including 'hidden and reccesed sling studs', Ed Lapour tuned action with his three position model 70 style safety, NECG singe stage trigger, Fully glass bedded, bolt handle re shaped, Weisner drop box 6 round capacity bottom metal (Not that our great POOBAH would ever miss and need all those rounds) and other upgrades that I am probably forgetting.

I would be absolutely honored if you used it, sir.

I have some 350gr TTSX loads for it that are not so bad on recoil and very effective on pigs and larger.






The 340 is more plain looking, but is a Magnum Mauser with a great aftermarket trigger. It is essentially a 340 WBY with a shorter more standard neck and shoulder to hold a little more powder. I loaned it to a friend from church this fall and he took a nice Bull Elk with it, liquifiying the heart in the process.

By then I SHOULD have (It is in the import paperwork logjam coming from oversea's) a BRNO model 21 in 30/06 and that one would be available for your use as well. I am hoping to get it here in time for an Ed LAPour safty to be installed on it as BRNO's come from momma with bass-ackwards safety's.

YOUR CHOCE my friend!

Mark

while a very generous offer Mark, if i know the Poohbah, he is gonna latch on to gunners 303 double even harder than i did

I thought that you were going to use that one again.

if i go i aint hunting.....if no one else is using it ill pack it to help back who ever im hiking with up but that will be the extent of my hunting.....only way im going to be able to swing the trip is if i dont hunt and until i get the bills for my wifes surgery last week and see what our share is the trip itself is sorta in limbo....

Gotcha.

My go or no go is based on much the same kinds of issues.

I am thinking I will be able to make it, but have to let the month play out and see what sells of my toys and such.

Hope we both get to go, but I AIN'T drivin it ever again!

that drive was fun.....once

whats likely gonna help me out is the fact ive been picking up shifts at the bar here and there.....REALLY dont want to bartend but will likely make the difference between my going and not.....its already contributed $150 to the fund in the last 10 days

ingwe,

Strangely enough, I have a couple of Ruger #1's in 7X57 that you are welcome to use. Or you could use a couple of LH bolt action 7X57's.

I'm driving to the hunt so extra guns are not a problem.

Steve

I think we can find ingwe a gun.

I suspect a lot of us could find him a gun.

Just wanted to give him some options.

Steve

Options are a good thing. Nice for everyone else to get to look over if nothing else!

I was hoping he'd speak up and ask to use mine, before he realized it was a .270

I like your thinking.

When do you think I should spring on him that my 7x57's have been necked down to 277?

Please do not mention this to him. It's just between us.

Steve
