I have used B&B taxidermy in Houston since 97. Mike Baird the owner is a tremendous taxidermist and a down to earth person

Philip, yes we were

I can whole heartedly recommend Gracy travel. Debbie has a tremendous company that has handled my travels for several years. One of her employees, Gio, took my call from Ethiopia at 2 a.m. Texas time. Ethiopian air had lost my rifles and Gio quickly got involved.

Thinking about driving to Nashville for the show. I am not interested in staying in any of the downtown hotels and do not mind driving in from a few miles out. Any ideas? Thanks

My ph buddy in Zim will be receiving a custom rifle and wants some 500 stamped brass Thanks

I have a fusion thermal scope and it is unbelievable quality. I really use it for a monocular during deer season just for fun before daylight. What I would really like is an inexpensive clip on for use under 100 yards. Many of us do not record or do anything but shoot hogs under 100 yards!!

I went another way on my 500, 500 A Square. To me this was very easy, BRNO 602, used excellent Weatherby cases which are easily fireformed. Easy to load, easy to make function, simple

I have hunted 61 days in the forest. I carried a Sako M995 in 450 Ackley with stainless steel barrel cerakoted. For me the most important thing was how to carry it. I used a Cabela's 2 inch wide safari sling, which allowed the gun to hang on my right side parallel to the ground. I held it by...

I want to explain my search for my African boots. I had a pair of Rocky Safaris, I guess bought in 1995 or so. I had used them on at least 14 safaris and numerous hunts in North America, and they, for me were perfect, 8 inch, no heel, non aggressive sole, all leather. Rocky stopped making...

I recently started a post similar to yours about needing a new pair of boots after my rocky safari boots wore out. I had a custom pair of Jim Green 8 inch boots made with their African Ranger non aggressive sole. I do not have much time in them but the answer is they are great. I believe $230...

I flew in July, and the seat, boarding and food was worth it to me. In the past just flew in the back

I do not know how to post a picture of the 4C reticle but it is not a ballistic reticle. It is 3 heavy short cross hairs with a dot in the center

I would like to bring up reticle choices. I know I have taken well over 250 animals with a scoped rifle and I have a duplex reticle on everything except on a fairly new custom 35 Whelen, On the Whelen I have a Meopta 1st focal plane with their 4C reticle. The reticle I do not like for very...

Go Tigers

I have an email sent to Jim Green to see if they will put the African Ranger sole on their 8 inch boot Thanks for the replies

Thanks

Hey I can not find their patrol boot

The Lowa and Goruck both have seen in nylon panels I did not know Courtney made 8 inch I will check with them

Thanks for the replies. There are a huge number of boot manufacturers out there but few make a boot for Africa. What do I mean? I need a all leather boot with very flexible soles and non aggressive soles.. If you have ever walked 8 hours after an eland in Botswana you know what I mean

My rocky safari boots finally bit the dust after 15 safaris and god knows how many miles I am looking for an 8 inch all leather, non insulated, non gortex, flexible non aggressive sole. I have searched countless stores and every online hunting, military and tactical supplier I can find. All I...

I have a Nikon Slughunter on my 500A2 BRNO 602. It is mounted in steel TSR rings on a steel picatinny rail. I just came back from Zim where I took an ancient buff with it. I would say the glass is mediocre compared to the Meopta on my 35 Whelen that I also brought. At least for me, I do not...

Leaving Wednesday for Zim, overnighting in City Lodge. Anyone else on this flight?

Man can't wait for the rest of the story

Took my first buff with one. very effective

True, Nikon is not making scopes but I bought on Ebay a used Nikon Slughunter to use on a 450 Ackley. Cheap and appeared new

Michael at B&M big bore rifles has been rougher on scopes than anyone I know. He swears the Nikon Slughunter scope is the toughest scope ever made. I have one on my 500 A2 and has performed perfectly for a couple of hundred rounds and banging around vehicles in Africa.

Hello 375, I am hearing from several people that getting rifles into Cameroon has become tremendously complicated. I was told that nearly every client is using camp rifles with Faro West.

It will be eland

Thanks for the offers I have scrounged all the brass I need

Are they Norma, Sir

Thanks for the replies, talked to my reloader buddy. We are looking for Norma 300 win brass and Hornady 35 whelen. Thanks

I would like 50 thanks

Hello Patrick, I live in Prairieville, near BR, glad you are here. After 18 safaris I can not wait to get back every time

In need of 300 win mag and 35 whelen brass

Love Eland hunting. Went to Bots to just hunt eland with bushman trackers. Told Rian I wanted the oldest eland I could find. On eland every day for 10 days. Took 2 old bulls. wonderful

I have been using Convoy flashlights for several years. Tremendous buy, given many away to friends. They have a store on AliExpress. Great Quality

Brandon, I flew the same route in June with a buddy, There were 4 hunters on the plane in Addis, they met us as we got off and took us downstairs to the Hole. 3 gun cases arrived with mine being lost. I missed the plane, had to overnight in Addis, they flew me to Joburg the next morning then...

Thanks for the replies

I am in the process of obtaining and setting up a 458 lott, brno 602 for a ph friend. I am thinking about attaching one of the holosun, titanium. closed red dot sights. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I used a Leupold 2.5 power for a hunt in Uganda on my 500 A2. Withstood the recoil fine but did not like the lack of magnification. Now have a Nikon Slughunter 1.75x6

Anyone have a powder preference for loading 180 grn in the Whelen

Hunting in the forest is different that nearly any place in the world, the experience is unique. The derby area is similar to Namibia, Botswana and parts of Zim

If you are looking for a plains game hunt, for me the best value in Africa is Tholo Safaris in Botswana. Clive Eaton has by far the best value for the money. Took my daughter there a couple of years ago, it was my 17th safari and I was tremendously pleased.

I have spent 31 days hunting in the rain forest in Cameroon over 50 years working, and hunting in Louisiana, which is tougher than the rain forest. The most troublesome problem in the rain forest is ants. I wore 17" Rocky Snake boots, not for snakes but ants. My ripstop pants were tucked in...

Buy either and make a 500 A2 out of it. LOL That is what I did and it is the perfect buff gun

Perfect place to stay for overnight.

Anyone on Ethiopian flight 501 out of Dulles this Saturday? Headed to Matetsi 2 with Nigel Theisen.

I have a Vari X III 3.5x10 on mine. I use it for plains game hunting and have taken several animals over 200. I like the higher power since I use mine for any and all plains game. Sometimes the duikers seem like a mile away, lol

Which camp are you hunting out of?
