Concerning the Joburg gun hassle and layover. I guess I have been very lucky (I hope it continues) because my last 7-8 trips using Gracy travel simple. They meet me as I get off plane, handle permits, lead me to City Lodge, come get me next morning, handle things and off I go!

Altitude Sickness posted the correct seat map in a large layout yesterday morning at 7:20

Well Marcus, I guess I screwed up I chose 30c on left side of plane! However I can't see a difference from left hand to right hand. \ Help lol

Leaving on June 28 Delta flight 200 Atlanta-Joburg, over night at City lodge then on to Bulawayo for 10 days in Bubye

I have a Nikon slughunter 1.5-6 on my 500 A2 with another in the closet for a backup. 5 inches of eye relief and there are some on ebay.

Hitman, I used the Safari sling you mentioned for a total of 61 days in the Cameroon rain forest. It was absolutely my best investment for the forest. I could hang the rifle and grab the muzzle and direct it through the vegetation. By the way, nothing in the chamber, the forest involves miles...

I am using the all rubber sling on both my rifles this year in Zim I have used the quick adjustable nylon slings for years and they have worked good, quickly tighten sling when I want to carry rifle on the final approach. The rubber sling I have been using for a couple of years deer hunting and...

I'll second B&B taxidermy. Mike Baird and his team have done close to 50 African animals for me, no leopard unfortunately. I have seen at least 20 leopards he has done, fantastic work

I use 200 grain Hammers in my 35 Whelen. I have taken a zebra, hyena, some impalas and a couple of deer. Extremely accurate and devastating on animals

I will take the 460 brass pm sent

I bought the 8" Jim Green boots with the African Ranger soles a few months ago. Love them. They required very little break in and walking with them several times a week

I use ProCargo to handle the import and have used Mike Baird and B&B Taxidermy in Houston since 1997. Mike has done about 50 animals for me from red flanked duiker to 2 buffs from Uganda

Last year I hunted Nengo and loved it! I am hunting Dyer's first 10 days of July so I can give you a report. Would have gone back to Nengo but was booked.

Clive Eaton, the owner of Tholo, has the rights to a huge tract of cattle ranches in Botswana. He has a permanent camp on his ranch.

Tholo safaris, Botswana no doubt!

I have used B&B taxidermy in Houston since 97. Mike Baird the owner is a tremendous taxidermist and a down to earth person

Philip, yes we were

I can whole heartedly recommend Gracy travel. Debbie has a tremendous company that has handled my travels for several years. One of her employees, Gio, took my call from Ethiopia at 2 a.m. Texas time. Ethiopian air had lost my rifles and Gio quickly got involved.

Thinking about driving to Nashville for the show. I am not interested in staying in any of the downtown hotels and do not mind driving in from a few miles out. Any ideas? Thanks

My ph buddy in Zim will be receiving a custom rifle and wants some 500 stamped brass Thanks

I have a fusion thermal scope and it is unbelievable quality. I really use it for a monocular during deer season just for fun before daylight. What I would really like is an inexpensive clip on for use under 100 yards. Many of us do not record or do anything but shoot hogs under 100 yards!!

I went another way on my 500, 500 A Square. To me this was very easy, BRNO 602, used excellent Weatherby cases which are easily fireformed. Easy to load, easy to make function, simple

I have hunted 61 days in the forest. I carried a Sako M995 in 450 Ackley with stainless steel barrel cerakoted. For me the most important thing was how to carry it. I used a Cabela's 2 inch wide safari sling, which allowed the gun to hang on my right side parallel to the ground. I held it by...

I want to explain my search for my African boots. I had a pair of Rocky Safaris, I guess bought in 1995 or so. I had used them on at least 14 safaris and numerous hunts in North America, and they, for me were perfect, 8 inch, no heel, non aggressive sole, all leather. Rocky stopped making...

I recently started a post similar to yours about needing a new pair of boots after my rocky safari boots wore out. I had a custom pair of Jim Green 8 inch boots made with their African Ranger non aggressive sole. I do not have much time in them but the answer is they are great. I believe $230...

I flew in July, and the seat, boarding and food was worth it to me. In the past just flew in the back

I do not know how to post a picture of the 4C reticle but it is not a ballistic reticle. It is 3 heavy short cross hairs with a dot in the center

I would like to bring up reticle choices. I know I have taken well over 250 animals with a scoped rifle and I have a duplex reticle on everything except on a fairly new custom 35 Whelen, On the Whelen I have a Meopta 1st focal plane with their 4C reticle. The reticle I do not like for very...

Go Tigers

I have an email sent to Jim Green to see if they will put the African Ranger sole on their 8 inch boot Thanks for the replies

Thanks

Hey I can not find their patrol boot

The Lowa and Goruck both have seen in nylon panels I did not know Courtney made 8 inch I will check with them

Thanks for the replies. There are a huge number of boot manufacturers out there but few make a boot for Africa. What do I mean? I need a all leather boot with very flexible soles and non aggressive soles.. If you have ever walked 8 hours after an eland in Botswana you know what I mean

My rocky safari boots finally bit the dust after 15 safaris and god knows how many miles I am looking for an 8 inch all leather, non insulated, non gortex, flexible non aggressive sole. I have searched countless stores and every online hunting, military and tactical supplier I can find. All I...

I have a Nikon Slughunter on my 500A2 BRNO 602. It is mounted in steel TSR rings on a steel picatinny rail. I just came back from Zim where I took an ancient buff with it. I would say the glass is mediocre compared to the Meopta on my 35 Whelen that I also brought. At least for me, I do not...

Leaving Wednesday for Zim, overnighting in City Lodge. Anyone else on this flight?

Man can't wait for the rest of the story

Took my first buff with one. very effective

True, Nikon is not making scopes but I bought on Ebay a used Nikon Slughunter to use on a 450 Ackley. Cheap and appeared new

Michael at B&M big bore rifles has been rougher on scopes than anyone I know. He swears the Nikon Slughunter scope is the toughest scope ever made. I have one on my 500 A2 and has performed perfectly for a couple of hundred rounds and banging around vehicles in Africa.
