It's JJ Perrodeau but that's a great option. I had him cut my V/C 500 nitro for a red dot optic. He has a mount that he recommends and told me he does 1-2 conversions every week on double rifles. His turn around is pretty fast on the small jobs.

Can't take both to Africa...same caliber duplication is prohibited in many areas and certainly in Joburg where you will enter Africa before going to Namibia. The bolt gun is more practical of course but don't let that sway you from the #1 if you really want to take it. Nothing wrong with a...

Excellent hunt report and photos as always. This one has been on my bucket list for some time. I think that I will like it so much that I will chase them in various countries. Interesting comments on calling the shot with an off balance weapon. I can see how that would create some...

There have been 2 options online with GB and GI for awhile. There is a complete 30-06 on GB...and a strange 9.3 on GI that has a 2nd set, which is shotgun and rifle like a cape gun set of barrels. There was a complete 30-06 S2 at Cabelas in Ft Worth last year that I almost bought. I've also...

Finding S2 barrels is not easy. Usually a complete gun has to be bought and it might have an extra set. I would love to find a smaller caliber to go with my S2 in 470.

You can be certain that whatever JJ did was appropriate and technically correct. He is a master and a great person in general. Interestingly, like a lot of gun guys, he is really into fishing.

Excellent. It sounds like his backlog has decreased? He got on that quickly.

I recommend going with a short list of desired animals BUT tell your PH that if you know of something special or see something above average, let's take a look at it! Kudu and bushbuck should always be on the list, especially older animals. Big nyala or sable will stop your heart briefly...

This is one of the best DG scopes made...the 30mm. I love mine...free bump to the top.

Very creative idea. I'm hoping you get a buffalo out of it!

We are rebuilding a Zim Parks rifle from an original barreled action I found.

Wow...that first trip. We are all a little jealous of that! You've gotten a lot of good advice. Tell Gilbert we all said hello! Relax and keep your eyes/ears open for all of the different things in the southern Hemisphere...even the sky is different. Don't guide the guide. Take more photos...

Parts arrived and work perfectly for our needs. Thanks to all!

Wishing you good success on Spots. Leopard with a double isn't easy. Is that area daytime only for cats?

Norma is my fav 500 brass and mine sold quickly when put up for sale.
