    R.J. Renner Ruger No.1 Light Safari

    I had RJ Renner customize a Ruger M77 30-06 rifle for me. I had him do his "Ruger Rigby" package with a couple of modifications. He added a new white bead front sight and barrel band. For the rear sight, he added a rear Rigby style aperture site to the bolt. He shortened the LOP for the stock...

    Barnes tsx

    I don't have any experience with the A Frame, but I used factory Barnes Vortx .375 H&H, 300 grain TSX on my hunt in Limpopo earlier this year and took warthog, impala, blue wildebeest, and cape buffalo with one shot. All complete pass throughs (including the buff, which was impressive!) and all...

    Report Scam in AH Classifieds

    Buckd975 is a POS scammer. I was dealing with him the same time I was dealing with another scammer here. Gave me a name and address in Ohio. Same story, contacted me about a WTB post I made. Sent a USPS mmoney order after he sent pics of the acope. Then no scope, no money...just excuses and "...

    Report Scam in AH Classifieds

    I had a WTB listing for a scope ( yeah , I know...) and the individual reached out to me, sent me pics and contact info. Yes, I contacted local law enforcement, yes, I contacted USPS and yes I have an address...to a 19 year old girl in a different state than the area code of the phone. I should...

    Left-handed .308 for the wife- bolt gun

    Another vote here for a Tikka Tx3. My wife is a lefty and wanted to start hunting after our trip to SA. We got her a .308 Hunter...super accurate, nice wood and blued steel, and not too heavy. She loves it!

    The leupold warranty

    Well this last one wasn't my fault...but I do tend to use my gear pretty hard (not abused, I just don't baby my stuff). Of course, I was an Infantryman for a good chunk of my 25 years in the Army, so I can be a little bit like a gorilla with a rock! @mdwest I agree the VIP program pretty much...

    The leupold warranty

    Just to add to the list. I am a huge fan of the Leupold VX-R 2-7x33 scopes with Firedot illuminated reticle, particularly the Ballistic Plex reticle with the small circle and cross hairs. This reticle really catches my eye and heIps me get on target quickly. I really like the 2-7...

    Anybody have experience with E-bikes for hunting/fishing?

    I bought a Rambo ebike about 4 years ago. It definitely is a game changer to how I hunt. It lets me get further in, in less time, and it's definitely quieter. Another benefit is I'm not all sweaty when I get to my stand. It also is great once I have something down. I invested in a pull behind...

    New m70 crf

    Agreed, I bought one of the new ones in .375 H&H for my trip to SA in May of this year. It was my only rifle for PG and even a Cape Buffalo and it performed great! The only complaint on mine is the safety is still a little stiff, but its breaking in. Accurate, smooth cycling and the balance...

    A new .375h&h

    Using a Barnes Vortx 300 grain TSX round ouy of my Winchester M70 Alaskan at a distance of about 75 meters, I got a complete pass through of a cape buff. Heart and lung shot, dropped in her tracks. Never even took a step. Dample size of one though, so take it with a grain of salt.

    Ruger Guide Gun thoughts and reviews

    I have had a Guide Gun in 30-06 for over ten years now. Its a great rifle overall, although she is a little heavy for a 20" barrel. It helps soak up recoil, but it does get heavy packing her around all day. With Federal 150 grain Powershoks I usually get .75" groups at 100 yards. Topped with a...

    Bear with me, this is a long one...so grab a biltong and a beer...enjoy! Just completed my first hunt in South Africa with Wild Wildebeest Lodge in Thabazimba, Limpopo. First off, it was an AMAZING experience. I now understand all the comments that there is no going to Africa just once. My wife...
