Thanks Bluey will do. Can't wait.

The Plan: Saving naturally. I've started having a look at the companies on this website. I'm having a new recoil pad fitted to the rifle, take a couple of days. Get onto the reloading table then out to the range with some shooting sticks that I can make at home. Then I'm off to the gym so I can...

Thanks BRICKBURN.

Hey Bluey, what company did you go out with over there? I'm looking to book a 7 day hunt. Any suggestions? Thanks Mate

I'd like to THANK everyone who has responded to my posts. It's GREAT to get feedback from more experienced hunters. I have instigated a plan, while I'm saving for a safari, to carry out every suggestion you fellas have posted. THANKYOU ALL VERY MUCH. Wayne1:hail:

Thanks Bluey. I've dreamed of going to Africa ever since I was a kid watching old movies on TV. It's not only the hunting, it's the atmosphere, the people, the smells, the picture as a whole. Sitting back on a chair having a mint julip and watching the sunset feeling relaxed as you see the...

LOVE IT:clapping:

Thanks 6MM. What is coming through the posted comments are Practice,practice,practice. I fully appreciate what everone is saying and I totally agree. If and when shit hits the fan you want to be pretty conficent that you can handle the situation as well as making that first shot count. At the...

Right off the bat James, I like you. (I'm a John Wayne Fan too.)I totally agree with having the hunting skills to get in close and making that first shot count. I used to do a lot of bowhunting over here on wild goats and pigs, so stalking isn't the problem. I believe that if you can't kill...

Thanks for the welcome Bob. Just goes to show how professional all you PH are. You must come up against some pretty snotty individuals. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Hey Diamondhitch. I was only talking to a friend of mine that guides for hunters over here looking for red deer (they are classed as pests over here because the damage they do to fences and national parks). He was stating that if he had the chance to go to Africa, even if he didn't get anything...

I'm open minded about what my PH thinks I'm capable of. And I would want to see a client shoot and see how he handles a weapon before we went anywhere. Thanks DOCMAN greatly appreciate the feedback.

Can any of your online Safari Companies advise this Greenhorn from Australia what game would be appropriate to gain confidence and NOT get the PH killed?

Hi Diamondhitch. Thanks for your input. You'll probably agree with me that we are influenced by our own experiences that we have in life and thus directs us in the direction we should go. I fully respect what you are saying. My wife will shoot, but she can't stand going to the range because of...

My Pappy always told me,"Son, it's better to look a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Wayne1

I love it DOCMAN and I'm an Aussie. Wayne

Hi David. Welcome. Pity that our croc's over here are protected, I could show you some salties(Aussie crocodiles) that are over 20 feet long that need culling. We are hip deep in the things. Warmest Regards Wayne

I had a mate that I took out to the range. It was his first visit and had only just got his licence (he was a novice), and he bought this 7mm mag Remington with a muzzle brake. I had heard about these muzzle breaks and the noise they could transmit, so a stuck plugs in my ears and muffs over...

Mike, tried length of pull; it's good. I think you're right that practice is the only sure solution. I'll try that stance you described, haven't tried that yet. Once again Mike, Thanks Mate.

Thought about it Louis, but it was the last thing on my mind. I've been near guys with that thing, and it isn't something that I would put a PH through.Know what I mean. Thanks For the Thought Louis.

Thanks Bob. Yes I agree, all good advice and I will follow their comments.

Thanks Mate, I appreciate it.

Thanks James. I had an inkling that adding weight might be the right thing to do, but I never though of glass bedding the rifle. I'm hoping to get to Africa soon. I have never had a holiday in my life and I'm 57, except for taking a week off here and there and visiting relative. Thanks again for...

Thanks RickB I'll do that. I'm probably just a whimp, but I'll definitely get in some serious practice.

G'day from Down Under. I recently purchased a Ruger African in 9.3x62. I took it out to the range yesterday to test fire it. I've owned many rifles over the 30+ plus years that I've been shooting, even a Brno 602 in 300WM, but man didn't this rifle kick me about. I've got to admit that the rifle...

Greetings to all from Australia. I have a story to tell you. For the past 100 years now, we folk in Australia have had reports of big cats. The sightings and predation on livestock has increased substantially in the past 10 years. Reports of sightings and close encouters are becoming more...
