Ruger brass is easy to find. Just ask the AH crowd for help!

It just depends on the rifle you want for the most part. .375 Ruger is superior in every way to .375 H&H but H&H has the nostalgia. Practically I like the shorter .375 Ruger cartridge. To me it's just kinda like a fat .30-06!

When a skin is properly fleshed, salted, and dried it will last for years barring any insect damage. I learned this nervously waiting on my lion years ago. Believe me I asked everyone questions about this subject.

Does anyone know why the convention is 3 days some years and four days others? Am I reading this wrong? I am a life member and did get the email. FYI

Yea I can't figure that one out. 2030

Thanks so much! We do have an awesome lineup of entertainment at our events. I'll be in DC with SCI lobbying congress for our rights in May. I already have my plans made for Nashville for next year. I hope to see yall there!

Excellent set up here! I love Tikka!

It will depend on what the PG situation is like and what your prospects are. For me most of the Zim hunts are time consuming on the DG part which does not leave a lot of time for PG. I feel a bit uncomfortable carrying a small PG rifle there in the field. My .300 with 180g TSX gives some peace...

Europe has a time honored tradition of driven hunts for all game animals. I'd love to give it a try. The only problem I'd have with running deer is that I would not be interested in eating deer that had been run! With leopard you don't put the dogs out unless you are sure it is a big lone male...

I can not recommend going on your first safari with an unknown outfitter. You must realize there are maybe thousands of outfitter's in RSA all scrambling for the US dollar. Do your research and ask for references who have hunted Africa multiple times with multiple outfitters. Anything else has...
