If you can't do it with a .30-06, then you can't do it!! Nuff Said!

I shoot with both eye open, mainly for situational awareness. There are a number of vision exercises that can be done to help train your non-dominant eye. It's also good to practice this if your shooting eye should become injured or temporarily impaired, allowing you to fall back on your non...

I would want to go Teddy Roosevelt all the way! Winchester 1895 in .405 Win. I would want to wear the vintage Straw Khaki Safari helmet too!

Any of the WSSM's

Buy a box of Norma Whitetail 150 grain, and a box of Hornady Whitetail 150. Carefully shoot groups off the bench. Choose the brand that shoots best in your rifle. Next zero your rifle 2" high at 100 yards. Next it's point and shoot out to 250 yards! Both bullets are excellent on deer! It...

Great post Laura, excellent guidance!!

I bought one too. What a great deal. This is going on my Sako 85 .30-06, for my return trip to RSA in August!

I have NOT hunted with Lungile. I checked them out before and know one of their camps is near Port Elizabeth. We hunted with Blue Cliff Safaris which is in the same region. Blue Cliff facilitated the trip to ADDO. Blue Cliff was superb in every way. We are booked for another Safari with them...

If you are hunting with Lungile at their Port Elizabeth camp, I recommend you use any extra time to visit ADDO Elephant National Park. https://www.sanparks.org/parks/addo-elephant We had a left over day and went to ADDO. It was a spectacular day, and we saw many species besides elephants...

One suggestion - Get 3 large Coffee cans. Label each can with wide tape and bright marker for each rifle. When you return from shooting put your fired cases in the appropriate can mated to that rifle. This way you do not co-mingle your empties from 3 different chambers. This way you can neck...

I have done business with Jager Waffen74. He is a real gentleman, absolutely honest and trustworthy. He is VERY knowledgeable about the great rifles and shotguns.

JARD makes an excellent aftermarket trigger. I have T-Bolt in .22mag, and the factory trigger is awful. Put in a JARD trigger, and it has become a sweet shooter!

My favorite rifle brand! I have several Sako rifles, all shoot very well, and are 100% reliable. You are looking at a fine rifle that will serve you well. Buy it now!

Safety First! Do not guess or extrapolate based on anecdotal evidence. Use the Swift manual, start low and work up. Remember you want to be holding a rifle, not a harp!

I am very satisfied with Zamberlan brand boots. I have a 1 pair of Wasatch, 1 pair of guides and a low cut sneaker/hiker. The boots are incredibly comfortable yet give me excellent support and traction.
