I finally found my order, I use the 3 and 5 inch “wooleator” models. They used to make a brown and charcoal Arizona Trail model but haven’t seen them in a few years.
FWIW
I’ve worn the thinnest DeFeet wool blend socks in Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Cameroon with temps closing in on 110. Lots and lots of walking while tracking Buffalo. They are my go-to warm to hot weather socks.
I also tried the Kenetrek Sonora in Cameroon this year, pretty solid sock but I...
I use reduced loads with H4895 in my 375 H&H Mod 70 with the 235gr Speer for easy shooting and inexpensive practice rounds around 2350fps. The rounds were low pressure and sooty, needed to take apart the bolt and flush it out every 100 rounds or so as I was getting light primer strikes.
Can’t...
Even though you say plains game, will you be hunting in an area with dangerous game? Something to think about on caliber selection. If you want to rely on your PH as your back up gun, your choice. I’ve been to Cameroon, Mozambique, Zimbabwe (x2) and South Africa (x4) and have been too close...

Advil PM meds to help you sleep.
Small note book and take a few minutes and write down your thoughts or type them into your phone. Take a few extra cheap pens, have had to furnish my own pens to the...
Living in Florida along the coast I use Corrosion X on all the surfaces and bore and always take a few patches along on all my hunts for a quick wipe or swab when needed. I’ll use a little tri-flow or CLP on any metal to metal contact areas.
My Garmin seems to be spot-on and I use it every range trip now, the only shot it’s missed was when I screwed up. If you can find some AR-COMP, it should tighten up your SDs as it also gives small SDs in 308 Win.
Did you notice velocity rising as you shot your string, chamber temperature...
Will load some up in a 7.5 twist 240 Wby tonight and hope to put a few down range in the morning using a 108 ELDM load I’m dialing in. It won‘t be 16 degrees like yesterday morning in NW Florida but expect it will be in the 40’s.
I’m still deer hunting in lower Alabama until 10 Feb, if the...
No complaints on the action at all as it’s very smooth feeding. Added the Peak 44 20 MOA rail and the fit was absolutely square, didn’t even bed the rail. Liking this action better than my Christensen Arms.
Stock is ok and is a close fit around the barrel channel, adjustable cheek piece is a...
I’ll give these a go in a 240 Wby 7.5 twist. Have an easy shooting load with 108 ELDMs @ 3150, expect these may end up a bit faster but will let the groups dictate final velocity.
