    MY first trip coming in April is alone, I have had this dream for longer than I've had kids or a wife so she understands what it means to me. We have traveled to many countries together for fun and she is good with incorporating a few days here and there on future travels to Europe but she has...

    CBP Global Entry

    My wife and I had Nexus that we converted to Global Entry without even needing to have another interview. My 12 year old had a conditional approval for about 8 months but we never got a chance to have the in person because Boston is busy. When we came back from the UK a week ago and he did the...

    I will be going to Africa!!!

    Nope, its a regular lesson they have. All told between the ammo and lesson it was about $250 US for the hour. It was BRX1 in .308 because I told him about my upcoming Africa trip and he tailored it to that after the driven boar. They do have a tester program where you can shoot 5 calibers upto...

    I will be going to Africa!!!

    The family and I took a rather epic trip to England and Scotland the last couple of weeks. We spent a day at Holland and Holland in London and I did the rifle cinema. If you ever get a chance to spend time here, take it. Even got to spend time imagining Africa soon.

    Rebarrel a Tikka T3 from .30-06 to 9.3x62?

    This here is where the project ends I think. The rifle is super light and I am looking to actually cut it down to 16-18 inches as a light weight woods gun. With a suppressor it’s the perfect 200yard gun for here in the northeast.

    SAKO AV .375 a good rifle?

    One of there popped up at a gun store in my local AO. Priced just under 1500 and comes with leupold rings. I took a look at it yeasterday and it is very nice, no irons though. Does this sound like a decent deal with clean wood and good looking barrel and crown?

    1 STEP CLOSER TO GOING!!!! I spoke with Jenn at @TRAVEL EXPRESS after some phone tag and had a great experience. SHe was willing to answer a lot of dumb questions and found me a better fare on United for the premium economy price then Delta coach would have been for a few hundred more. Many...

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    I’m a mid level collector but have a few nice pieces. My Ranger is an all around watch as you can tell from the picture. From EMS calls to bougie barbers. In our last cruise my wife suprised me by saying get the Bronze Oris big crown that I plan to take. I am imagining old world safari and...

    Where to find a .375HH nowadays?

    I do appreciate all the replies, I am hoping to find a new one locally and will hit up gunbroker if needed. I do seem to be an anomlly but have not had the greatest luck there. It is also a bit more of a general observation, seems like last few years many companies made them but CZ stopped...

    Where to find a .375HH nowadays?

    I am trying to find a .375HH to take on my first safari in 10 months and 29 days (not that I am counting) and the supply of current makers is coming up empty. I have tabled by Tikka conversion to 9.3 for now but there does not seem to be any new production of rifles in stock anywhere. Even...

    Amazon Safari supplies?

    All great suggestions so far. I do have the headphones and have used them on hundreds of plane flights. Airtags are a godsend and have saved me from some possible shenanigans with a gun case. Love the suggestions and keep them coming.

    Rebarrel a Tikka T3 from .30-06 to 9.3x62?

    I'm in the US so 9.3x62 rifles are a little more scarce. I have a Tikka T3 in .30-06 that has been replaced by a CZ600 LUX in .30-06 From my internet research you can just change the barrel within cartridge sizes on the Tikkas to recaliber it. Am I right or wrong, and is this something any...

    I will be going to Africa!!!

    Funny enough I’m already planning the second trip. I can already tell I’m going to want to take my son as either a middle school graduation or high school middle trip. So the Kudu may wait for that but I know I’ll add one at some point.

    I will be going to Africa!!!

    Bosveld Jacobs. The number of people, including the president of the local SCI chapter have hunted there, and I’ve met with the outfitter twice and have a good feeling. Comes nothing but highly recommended.

    Hello from the Northeast of the US

    Hello all, Freshly back from my first DSC and while there I spoke to an outfitter and suggested I pop over here in addition to another site. I have dreamed of Safari for decades but always thought that it was only for millionaires with titles and land. The last 2 years have shown me I was...
