    SOUTH AFRICA: June 2022 Hunt With KMG Hunting Safaris

    Andrew and Debbie were amazing hosts, loved our evening conversations. The GF and I were talking about putting an outdoor fireplace as large as the one in their lodge after being there. It became a great community center / social circle of sorts each evening and was a great way to end the day...

    Bullet Performance Database

    Thank you for the welcome. No follow up shots were needed on any animal. My data is at 100 yard ranges so bullet speed is a rough speed in some cases, but should be close. Kudu ran 20-30 yards (estimated) and went down. According to data chart bullet should have been at about 2400FPS Gemsbok...

    IMPORTANT: Firearms Export Alert – Use of Form 4457 for Temporary Firearms Export

    I had zero problems walking into a CBP office in my area that was not at the airport with a pre-filled out typed form (my hand writing is terrible) and my rifle. They did the SN check, gave the form a stamp and signature and I was out the door in 5 minutes. They did confirm it was the new form...

    Your favorite hunting rifle of all time

    Mine is a 300WSM I had built off a blue printed 700 short action action, Hart barrel, carbon fiber stock and fits me perfectly. Slightly heavy since I went with a heavier barrel but it balances the rifle very well.
