Use your .458 for buffalo and borrow a 7x57 or a .30-06 or whatever the PH has for leopard. Save your expensive ammo and your shoulder bones for another day.

Based on my experience: 7 mm Rem. Mag. for the first four. I never hunted the others.

Many years ago in Italian delis you could buy "musciamme" (moo-sha-mae) i.e. dolphin dry fillet. Soaked in lemon juice, as someone eats bresaola, it was good. Now it is absolutely forbiddedn to kill poor dolphins. Another strange, but tasty food is donkey stew, available in some inns in North...

Nice story, but there is one detail that my antique neurons dont allow me to understand: in which phase of the life of the Smelly was the furniture replaced?

I don't discuss the safarimax seriousness, but the wisdom of showinh on the net a catalogueto be read in Norwegian only. Other languages don't work.

I am looking for a chronograph. After the experience with two (Prochrono and Ammomaster) with photocells I decede not to buy again a devise too much sensitive to wind. The choice is limited to Garmin (radar) and Magneto Speed (magnetic). The first, besides being more expensive, has the evil...

Reborn old inventions. 1. Steyr Mannlicher resurrected the rotary magazine in the 80s-90s, but the plastic they used instead of good old steel was programmed to break down within a couple of years. 2. In the late '50s, when Rheinmetall started the production of the MG3, i.e. the MG52 in 7,62...

Here in Italian Republic the laws, specially about firearms are complicated and often contradictory. On the other hand, there is no legal limitation for the number of hunting shotguns and rifles. There are several technical limitations: no full auto, no smoothbore larger that 12 ga a.s.o.

A humble suggestion from a hunter who was once in South Africa and once in Namibia: buy in Europe a small amount (equivalent to €50) of South African Rands. If hampered by someone uttering "coffee" give him or her a 10 rand note. It cheaper for you and better accepted by the receiver than...

Welcome to AH Bhraaz Kashyap! Is CIC the organisation also known as Conseil International de la Chasse? As far as I know they are mainly concentrated in measuring trophies with highly complicated methods Please try to convince me that it is useful to hunters.

I warmly suggest to ask your french agent/organisation, as laws (specially related to firearms) are changing often. As far as insurance is concerned have a look to the BASC offer. Years ago it covered 3rd party liability, included damages due to driving under the influence. May they changed...

Pardon my ignorance. What is a "two legged variety" of cougar?
