I believe that tags that can be picked up by Android phones are now available.

Just to make anyone aware that if flying with Ethiopian Airlines and transiting through Addis Ababa they take a dim view of binoculars and scopes in your carry on. Mine were all in my checked baggage, no worries. My friends high end Leica binoculars and his scope were in his carryon. Security...

I have a Meopta R2 in 1,7-10x42 sitting on a rifle and am well impressed with it.

I’ve just been reading up on “Pondoro” to satisfy my own curiosity on some points of his life. He ended up as the night caretaker at the Battersea Cats and Dogs home and died in 1969. He was to all intents and purposes in poverty. A sad set of circumstances for someone who led such a life. Who...

One sold at Holts auction house in the U.K. recently for £850 plus commissions (25%) IIRC

Sadly @BeeMaa speaks the truth. Having purchased a 375 some years ago and having gotten used to it on plainsgame the itch to hunt a Cape buffalo got stronger and stronger. Just one, that’ll do. 2024 I hunted a great package with @GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS, Cape buffalo, kudu and impala. I remember...
