What did it for you? What first gave you the itch to visit the Dark Continent on safari? For me, it was a Craig Boddington article in American Hunter when I was no older than twelve. It detailed him hunting Cape Buffalo or as he referred to them in his article, “the dagga boy”. Ever since then...

Gents, what I have is a older Savage long action, a timney trigger, and a nice walnut stock built to my LOP. What I don’t have is a barrel for this semi-custom rifle. I’m looking to take suggestions for what caliber my “new” rifle should be chambered in. It currently has a .470” bolt face on it...

Does anybody here have any firsthand experience with the Mossberg Patriot in .375 Ruger? Note; I would not be using this rifle for dangerous game. I will use it for bear and hogs at home, as well as larger plains game once I get a chance to go to Africa, and as a range toy. And no, the irony...

So I'm looking to make the move to a non-magnum medium bore and I'm strongly considering the .338 Federal as a Jack O'Connor styled brush gun. I'd use it on deer, black bear, and hogs here in North Carolina. Probably buy a Savage Hog Hunter and replace the stock with a Boyd's walnut stock and...

I'll get right to the point here, is .270 Winchester enough gun for plains game up to and including wildebeest? Obviously I'd use 150gr Nosler Partitions if I were to take my .270, but I'm open to buying a new rifle and putting in the time between now and whenever I get to go to know it like I...

I'm looking at booking my first trip to Africa and it seems like African Sky is a good bet with most of the expenses bundled together in one package. I did a search here and couldn't find anything so I was wondering if anyone had used them and what your experience was if so? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm Jake and I'm quite obviously new here. I am an avid hunter of whitetail deer here in NC, though I have dreamed of hunting the Dark Continent ever since I was old enough to read Craig Boddington's articles in the various magazines my father got. I'm hoping to plan my first...
