Hi Chip
Sorry about the loss of your knife. after A while you sort of get attached to them. I have used the same Buck 105 Pathfinder for 25 years. It is standard eqpt. on my belt for anything woods related and of course made in the USA with A bible verse with every knife cant go wrong there. I bought my twinn boys Buck knifes to for there 1st hunting season. and for Christmas ordered them the Buck Gut hooks and Bone saws. Of course 2 of every thing. But On A Bitter note the Bone saws wich are realy wood saws are made in china. Whoed A thunk it. But im anal that way Have A buck knife you need buck everything else. I like having A fixed blade just in case you need it fast.
Good luck in your search.im sure you will end up with what suits you.

Corey they are both my favorits. You cant go wrong either way.Just be sure you get excatly what you want. I looked for months for A 340 SS and settled on the accumark that came with A Break I had A custom made thread protector by Randy Carlson for 45 bucks that looked great I had him make out of ss Becuse I dont care for the break. Only to find A 340 ss before I even shot the accumark. I put the Accumark on gun broker the same day. Because I wasnt going to be out bid on the ss. I broke about even but alot of extra work just becuse I didnt wait. But I somtimes think all the pondering and shoping is the most fun.

I to would have to see it to Belive it. I did hear A loud Screech 2 nites in A row after dark walking back from my deer blind. in northern MI. I have no Clue as to what made those noises And I like to think I am very up on Animals and there vocal sounds. But A big foot did enter my mind lol but again I would have to see it to belive it. I just cant belive A hunter hasnt bagged one it they were to exist.

I have some Rem. nickle plated brass in 300 Wby. it does seem to be harder to full length size. So I neck size it when I can you can neck size 3 time before you have to full length size again. I have re sized alot of 7mm Mag cases to and after A while I have seen it chip. But you allso have to inspect the cases well because the nickle plating can hide some preasure / ware signs I had one case get stuck and when I forced it out it broke in half that was time to discard the whole batch. Im not sure how many reloadings you can get from them even when neck sizing. But I wont exceed 4 full length sizings.

My 2 cents I live in MI. where 200 yards is A long shot. But theres A reason I have A 300 Wby. mag with A 4-12 power scope Im just being honest here. If conditions were right that being no to low wind im confident to take A shot out to 500 yards  on that trophy of A life time  with using only  hold over. Wind is A whole diffrent ball game. A 10 mph cross wind can blow A 30-06 bullet 3 feet now im guessing with no refrence to lean on. I have read stories where the guide says give him A fence post. Meanig the lead of the fence post spacing on running game thats just nuts.But with all the tools that ae now out range finders and wind gauges it does promte hunters to try. but even with All that for me 500 yards would be my limit with good conditions and knowin my trajectory inside out. There are 2 reasons Bear guides make you get close 1 so you have An accurate hit. the other of course so you have maxium energy. those same rules should apply just to be ethical.

that sounds interesting I like that kind of stuff. I have heard that A 250 gr. 338 will out penatrate A 300 gr. 375 all day long. Would be interesting to find out.

Hi Yuma
Craig Boddington has killed A number of brown bear and everything else for that matter. But he recomends the 375 H&H for brown bear but I noticed that they all required multable shots. except the one he shot with his 340 Weatherby. I have both but would use my 340 with 250 gr. Nosler Partitions And I would use Weatherby factory ammo. Nothings Hotter A low power scope sounds to be in order. Again A leupold 1.5 - 5 x 20mm or anything under 2 power for close in work should do nicley.

Good Eye Thats good to know. I have allways liked those blocks.And will probanly break down and get one some day. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi Ron
The baddest go anywear 4x4 I was ever in was an old Ramcharger 318 with A stick shift and Big tires. My best freind bought it when we were young lol. and he didnt know what he had after I talked him into climbing A few hills you couldnt stop him.  Any thing you get throw A wench on the front and carry A sledge hammer A long piece of rebar to pound in and pull your self out. but short wheel base and ground clearence are the Key the old international scouts are hard to beat allso.
