Got Rhinos rooting in your Rutabagas? Gophers destroying your Golf Course? We'll worry no more, Gunbroker has just what you need. An 8mm-378 Weatherby Wildcat to take care of those pesky vermin. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1044174279 Over 20 pounds, but hey, you wanted to get into shape...

Have a good friend that asked me what this rifle is worth, and if he should buy or not. I have never seen this rifle other than the pictures he sent. The story is the owner bought it some time ago planning on someday going to Africa, but passed before that happened. NIB never fired, paid 20k...

Like most of us, I need another rifle like I need a hole in my foot. Problem is my local gun shop just bought an Estate firearms collection with a 330 Dakota rifle. Typical Dakota 76 with high grade wood, beautiful checkering, Talley QD mounts, plus 200 once fired cases and several boxes of...

Just got an email from Midway USA they now have Remington 257 Roberts ammo in stock. I usually buy all the 257 ammo I can for Tina's rifle, but being the nice guy I am, I'm giving you fellas first crack at it. They have had Hornady Super performance within the last few months, but somebody...

Got a call and email today from Jay Jarrett about my CZ .450 Rigby build and we discussed a few more options including optics. He favors the Swaro 8I, but would build on whatever makes me the buyer happy. My first inclination is to go with a Leupold product, because that's what I have on my CZ...

Looking at hunting bullets for my .450 Rigby build, I came across an article that discussed bullet hardness v barrel strain and possible barrel separation in Double Rifles. Is this real or imaginary? I do remember older bullets like the steel jacketed Hornady, solid brass bullets with no driving...

I just bought Tina a NIB Savage Lady Hunter in .223, mostly for practice and local varmints. I started thinking that this might be a good light rifle for Steinbok, Duiker, Klipspringer and other Tiny Ten sized game. Would the 62 grain Barnes X be a good choice for heart lung shots? I've read...

Jay just sent some pictures of stock blanks to choose from. I picked the one on the far left. I usually love dark, dark walnut, but those almost black streaks through that blank say "Africa".

On the last day of my trip to Africa, my guide took us to a wonderful store called Africa Outdoors in Pretoria. One section that always draws my interest is the books. This book drew recommendations from both my guide and the store staff. Unlike many of the books on African hunting that were...

This will be my first time at the SCI Convention and I'm hopeful there will be one or two gunsmiths that build custom Dangerous Game rifles there. Several of the gunsmiths suggested by member here seem to be very hard to get ahold of, so if anyone knows of one, what booth#, etc., I'd appreciate...

These were a special run of Savage rifles sold exclusively at one American retail chain several years ago. I missed out at that time, but I'd dearly love to have one. I'm willing to pay the MSRP with or without the glass.

Although I enjoy discussing gear, hunts and other experiences in the outdoors, I truly believe that Marksmanship has fallen by the wayside. We've all seen the guy with the short barreled rifle with the new Chinese Star 20-60x80 scope, or the guys that dump a mag into the backstop as fast as they...

I just picked up my new CZ550 mag receiver purchased from member Krish. It has a .416 Rigby bolt face, but personally, I think it wants to be a .450 Rigby when it grows up. The questions I have are: 1. Who can do a scratch build DG rifle in a reasonable time frame? The only thing I'd really...

When you hunt Africa, do most of you prefer to find a new area or country, new terrain and new guide/outfitter, or stay with the one you've had good experiences with? I had a great time on my first trip, but I'd love trying something new. New species, new country, different terrain, and new...

I've been back in the States over 2 weeks now, so I thought I'd better get busy with review and pictures. Country: South Africa Dates: 27 September -11 October, 2023 Type of Hunt: Plains Game, Wingshooting, Varmint/night hunting Method...

On my next trip to Africa, I'd really like to see the Okavango delta, possibly for one or two Cape Buffalo, Eland,and most of all Red Lechwe. The information I've been able to gather is very conflicting and contradictory. Several species of Dangerous game can be hunted around the fringes of the...

Just got back from a hunt in South Africa, found this forum and wanted to introduce myself. My girlfriend Tina and I had the hunt of a lifetime and a second hunt is already in the works. I'll post pictures in a separate thread. BTW, my real name is Darrell, but I go by skydiver386.
