Does anyone have recent experience with this bullet on Elephant? I understand that the original version of this bullet had some bending/warping and at some point in the past a design change occurred to the current version.
I have used the Safari Trophy Bonded Bear Claw in 458 Lott with great...
I have an opportunity to fly Discover Airlines a subsidiary of Lufthansa Airlines to Namibia. Has anyone flown them and been in their Business class?
Reviews please.
Thanks,

Appreciate the feedback offered on an earlier string. I am looking for a 14 day Leopard hunt for the wife for 2024 that offers a chance at big one.
I will be accompanying her and will be shooting Buffalo and targets of opportunity as well. Looking for Outfitters to pm me some offers with hopes...
Reaching out to the community on where the largest Leopards are found and outfitter recommendations. My biggest to date is 175 pounder out of Namibia that was raiding cattle ranches. I was happy with that setup but it’s been 8 years and looking for current info.

I am just about to start my Safari Season in Africa within a few days and just wanted to give everyone a preview of the hunts that are about to come. My wife and I will be starting in the East Cape for 10 days and then to the Selous area of Tanzania for 14 days. Joining us on this adventure are...
Happy Father’s Day to you all.

I was fortunate to acquire a BRNO 602 in 375 H&H(Thanks again to all that held off bidding on the auction rifle) and am now in the process of finding a quality gunsmith that has the time and experience to work on this rifle and convert to 404 Jeffery. I will be doing a full package gunsmith...
I’m reaching out to all the Blaser R8 experts/aficionados with some help. I want your pictures or ideas on how to configure 2 R8 stocks, 3 barrels, & 3 scopes in 1 pelican case. I’m hoping to use a 1700 but understand the possible need to use a 1750. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have decided to sell the Blaser R8 that I purchased on here about a year ago for $8,500. The Blaser comes with everything you see (barrels are 375 H&H and 300 Win Mag) and includes 5 boxes of Hornady 300 Grain DGX - Bonded ammunition 375 H&H. Nothing wrong with the rifle just need to make...
Well a funny thing happened on my happy wondering through SCI last week in Nashville. I stopped by the Heym booth and struck up the continued conversation about buying a quality used 577 NE over purchasing a new one fit to my specifications and getting the new one won out.
I ordered a new Heym...
Just a heads up that these bullets came back in stock and while the price is ridiculous I bought 5 boxes which were delivered yesterday.
Swift A-Frame 570 grain box of 20. $225.25

In keeping with the famous Festivus Holiday, I welcome everyone to air their grievances for 2022. I will begin with the following:
The joke of an organization "U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service" claiming to know better than the African countries on how to mange the game population in those...
I’m having Pale Horse Zero make an R8 barrel for my wife and would like some of your expert opinions/ideas on what the optimal length and twist would be for this setup.
Rifle is Blaser R8 Attaché and can accommodate up to semi weight barrel or 19mm if you will. I also have installed a 16 oz...
I am attempting to install a kick stop on my wife’s R8 Attache and it dose not have the screw in the stock to attach the kick stop. Any ideas or what am I missing?

I have just started a new barrel build for my Blaser R8 in 458 Lott. the Barrel will be 21 inch long in a semi-weight size with 1:14 twist and will have a thread cap and fixed sights as well from New England Custom Guns Services. I am having Pale Horse Zero do the work and will keep you all...
A last minute opportunity hunt came open and an outfitter I know asked if I could make it happen. I immediately pulled it together and my dream of hunting the giants of Botswana has materialized.
Jumped on a plane yesterday on British Airways out of LAX and am in mid transit to Johannesburg...
I’m heading to South Africa this month and have my vaccinations on a digital format on the iPhone.
Will the Johannesburg authorities allow the digital format as proof for the Covid-19 vaccination or do I need to provide the paper print out?

I have a beautiful Cape buffalo slaying 416 Rigby Dakota Ams for sale. She has a mercury recoil reducer and cycles like a dream. I took her to Africa once and shot a nice buff with her. She has been a safe queen ever since as the Africa bug bit and I moved on to doubles and then lately my custom...
Looking for a 2022 package for 70 lb Elephant and 2 Cape buffalo for 2 hunters( 1 hunter gets elephant and Buffalo and the other gets just Buffalo). Other animals based on availability and a price list.
Thanks in advance,

Leaving today for Cameroon to hunt Bongo and Forest Buffalo. I will be hunting with Northern Operations Africa.
After 2 years I must say that I don’t think I realized how much I missed Africa!
I’m not sure what my internet situation will be in camp but will post from there as the situation permits.
Simple question:
With the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing and new strains seemingly developing as this is typed...who thinks it’s safe to travel and hunt Africa this year?
I myself am torn between going and staying home and just want to get my fellow hunters opinions.
I’m heading to DSC for the first time with no target animals in mind. I have all of the Dangerous 7 except for the Elephant and that’s only because of the import restrictions. I love Cape buffalo hunting but always try and add animals that I needed or desired. I know this sounds like a...
Hello fellow safari enthusiasts! I will be hunting in Zambia with Van Noordwyk Safaris and accompanied by good friend and PH Aart Van Den Brink of Limcroma Safaris. The hun starts October 1st through the 14th and barring poor internet, I will try and give you daily updates and photos along the...
I was looking at the current form 4457 and noticed it will expire on 8/31/2019. I am traveling to Zambia on Safari in October and was wondering if I would have any problems with South Africa(traveling through) or Zambia because of this?
I have purchased a CZ 550 Safari in 375 H&H for my wife to start hunting Africa with me. She loves the look of color case hardening on some of the rifles we have seen and I would like to have that treatment along with several other customizations( Muzzle brake and cap, Mercury recoil reducer...
