    Our 139-mile Elephant hunt in Namibias famous Caprivi.

    I saw so many there the tribal game scout told the PH that I could come back for a sort of zebra varmint hunt on the cheap I still think about it would be a lot of fun using all sorts of rifles! And as you know the tribes love eating zebra. There is no shortage at all.

    Our 139-mile Elephant hunt in Namibias famous Caprivi.

    Public range w/ factory guns and low quality, mass-produced ammo (poss substandard optics, shooting form too) OR private range w/ accurized or fully-custom rigs using pet handloads? Nearly all rifles here (including 375 & 416) can do it under the best conditions (even accurized/handloaded...

    Bowie (and record co.) ripped off the rest of the band for a LONG time-they wrote the songs and they got little to nothing out of it and they perished as a result. His original band was Very good! RIP Mick Ronson. Bowie eventually married an African as to save himself on safari...He shot a...

    Custom 458 Win Mag For Sale

    p.s. Gun may have been built by, or stock-only by Paul Jaeger. His (stockmaker Fritz Voight's) shadowline, fine checkering and interestingly-shaped pistol grip was a trademark. 25" bbl (like the 64 cm factory Steyr/25.1") likely originated in Europe. Appears to be quite the antique.

    Anyone with experience with Meopta Optics warranty? I have an issue

    I know there were issues with the warranties prematurely expiring for optics manufactured by Meopta but sold by Cabela's. It seems, in those cases, that they were redefining Lifetime as to mean however many years they chose! SMH. 'Had a ($1,500) pair of 15x rubber-coated M binos hit the...

    Then you can go after the other 5 subspecies through '31. You could go to Zim and take care of 2 in one trip along the Limpopo and Zambezi Rivers. 'Got one w/ an 18" (straight measurement) horn along the Limpopo in Zim. Son also got a nice one along the Save in Zim. Saw plenty along the...
