I have been daydreaming/tire kicking the idea of a double rifle around for some time. I've made a few bids on auctions (with the advice of those with knowledge from this very forum), and handled a few of the entry level pieces. I think - (maybe) that I have finally put this idea to bed. I...

Me too. Have your Permit to Transit The Netherlands with a Firearm form approved prior to departure, and you should be good to go.

This could very well be a tit-for-tat reciprocity kind of thing. We were in a little tour bus going from Botswana to Zimbabwe to go see Victoria Falls for a day trip. The bus held about a dozen people from all over the world. The Visa cost for each nationality was different, ranging from US...

I've been a Firefighter for the last 23 years now. I take every overtime that I can get, and live pretty simply to be able to afford travel/Africa. No toys (boat, motorcycle, ATV etc.), and no vacation property either. This was our choice to live this lifestyle, as we value travelling and...

I had the pleasure of corresponding with, and then meeting up with Shootist43 earlier this year. He graciously invited me to his home while my wife and I were on route to SCI. We spoke about all things rifle, gave me some great reloading tips, and generally made us feel like we were having an...

If the rifle speaks to me in some way, nostalgia, rarity, craftsmanship, or just plain lust for what crosses my path, I have purchased it in the past. Then, the search is on for components or a deal on the factory ammo that is required to feed it. For me, the search for these components is...

I own a pair, 10x42, and really like them. The last time I took them to Africa, my PH needed a quick look at something and I offered them up to him. His reply, after looking through them, was "Jesus, what brand are these!" He likened them to his older Leica's as well.

So, are there any leads on a mount that will take a Trijicon RMR or SRO for the Heym?

I posted this in another thread on the same topic. Hi, I'm hoping to get an answer to an old question here. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I have a Trijicon SRO sight, mounted on an AHR quick-release base that fits the bridge of a CZ550/BRNO 602. Does anyone know if I will need to...

Hi, I'm hoping to get an answer to an old question here. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I have a Trijicon SRO sight, mounted on an AHR quick-release base that fits the bridge of a CZ550/BRNO 602. Does anyone know if I will need to modify this base in order for it to fit on the...

Hi Aiden204, and welcome to the Forum. I would say that whatever gun you choose, make sure you practice enough to operate it in your sleep. Whether that be a right hand or left hand rifle, use the one that you get the most trigger time with to feel proficient with. Having said that, there is a...

After consulting with the Forum, I too purchased the Trijicon SRO with 1 MOA dot. I purchased a quick release mount from AHR that fits the Trijicon. I have since found an additional AHR mount that will fit a Leupold sight. Both fit on the front mounting bridge of the BRNO/CZ, and so far, it...

I am returning to Africa again in September, 2025. I have been fortunate enough to have hunted plains game in both Namibia and South Africa, with some truly excellent professionals. This time around, the focus will be Buffalo for me. I have really enjoyed the planning process so far, from...

Hi William, Great Christmas deals so far! I'd like some advice on which set of sticks would be right for me. I am 6'7", so the higher the better I presume. I also would like to strike a balance between light weight, and of being too "flimsy" feeling, if that makes sense? Which ones would...

Hello All, We're doing a road trip down to Nashville, attending SCI and the Friday evening get together. I was hoping for some knowledge from the Forum. I would like to drop into some interesting gun shops on the way. Not necessarily the Big Box stores, but the independent ones, looking for...
