You can easily do what you want for under $10K (excluding airfare and taxidermy) in Limpopo RSA, if you shop around. You won't even have to skimp on accommodations.

Either a used Heym DR or a Rigby Highland Stalker in what ever cartridge you would use the most.

My PH wanted me to bring an equal amount of solids and expanding rounds. He wanted me to shoot buffalo in this sequence (if things followed his normal routine): 1. Expanding 2. Solid 3. Expanding 4. Solid 5. Solid #1 killed mine, but he had me put #2 & #3 in for insurance, With TSX bullets...

You, definitely, need to crimp with a .470 NE. IMO, depending on the rifle, the recoil can be very hard with a .470 NE. I would recommend and do crimp my .470 NE loadings.

No for me, but it would be nice if NASA could reclaim some of it's former glory. I think it's ridicules that I have to talk to my kids with space exploration in the past tense. IMO, DEI has ruined our space program. Just look at NASA in 1969. No one but the best and brightest. Now...

I've never had a new Weatherby fail me. (push-feed) I've had a new Ruger Model 77 fail me. (CRF) I'm in the camp of CRF for DG, but I've never had an experience where a push-feed bolt action rifle has failed. I have experienced a CRF failure. Maybe, I got a bad one. Who knows?

There are two of the the coolest fly fishing shops in America, nestled in northeast Georgia called Unicoi Outfitters. They have a location almost across the road from Field Ethos in Clarkesville, GA. PM me, and I might be able to arrange for you a cap. These caps have been worn over the...

Over lube everything in the Sauer bolt and action. Hornady ammo has always preformed well for me. If something is still amiss, take another rifle. If you have a .30/06, .308, .300 mag, etc., that has proven to be accurate, you should be fine. (I would recommend 180g bullets (cup &...

Ugly girls are like mopeds. They can be lots of fun, until one of your friends sees you with one. (I just buy pretty rifles, that don't always shoot accurately)

Elephant. (I just e-mailed my PH today!) wild lion sable waterbuck

Mine too.

1) Kodiak bear 2) Bighorn sheep 3) Mountain Goat 4) A large bull elk (I've taken a 5x5) 5) A large black bear (I've taken a 150lb with a bow) I prefer rifle I prefer DYI, but I know it's sometimes impossible.

I once owned a Mark V in .378 WBM, the recoil was tremendous, and now I regret selling... I've never suffered from buyer's remorse, but seller's remorse is a different story.

The Weatherby collection... Plus a Stainless/Synthetic .340 WBM Mark V that I haven't scoped.

I would go with the .300, if I had the option. DLSJR seems to know what's he's talking about with Bearclaws. You have to use a .375 on leopard in Mozambique when I was there. Tough finding a .375 bullet in a factory loading that will expand enough.
