    Taking medication to RSA

    Blaser R8 - Steel or Aluminum Receiver in Pro Safari Rifle in .416 or .458?

    one of my other barrels is a 20 1/2” 375 fluted with sights and a Swarovski Z8 1.7-13.3 x42. Haven’t weighed it but it’s a joy to carry in the thick stuff. Really is all you need but, like you I wanted a 416 . The buff I killed in Nyakasanga last year with the 375 was just as dead! I have a...

    Blaser R8 - Steel or Aluminum Receiver in Pro Safari Rifle in .416 or .458?

    I went with a 23” barrel with a detachable radial muzzle brake. I won’t use brake for hunting. I do have the smaller kick stop installed. I have a Leupold VX 6 hd 1-6x24 with firedot duplex reticle. 10.8 pounds- unloaded on bathroom scale. I think it balances nicely on the sticks and is easy to...

I hunted there with CMS in 24 and am booked with D&Y for ‘26. While it’s a huge area there were no less than five groups ( including mine ) hunting during...

    Tipping charter pilot

    That’s a great question, I have never tipped my charter pilot until last year on my Nyakasanga hunt. I tipped him $50 - maybe just a weak moment but he was able to minimize some reported Pretty bad turbulence which I was grateful for. I agree tipping is getting crazy- guess I didn’t help much!

    Cape Buffalo in SA or Tanzania? The better hunt

    For a true wilderness hunt I would recommend the Dande with CMS or the Omay or Nyakasanga with Dalton and York Safaris. You’ll earn your buff and experience a true old Africa safari that won’t break the bank
