I have a pelican 1750 double rifle case that works great. I want to buy extra meddle foam inserts to make multiple rifle configurations. Online, you can of course buy factor replacement for $$$ or third part sellers seem to be selling the same for $. Has anyone bought spare third party foam...

Wow, $1,000 per animal!!! That’s amazing.

Great advise. I will have to pick some up and try with my new setup.

I was wondering what factory loads members have been getting the best precision results from? Not exactly looking for a hunting load, just an accurate range ammo for long range shooting.

I did a quick search on this and didn’t see anything on this particular outfit in the past couple of years. My brother-in-law has invited me to join him next year, it will be his first Africa trip and my second. I was looking for some first hand knowledge on this location.

Awesome trip and fantastic animals, looks like you’re hooked now.

Looking good

I have bought demo optics from “scope list” I believe it is a sister company of euro optic. They come with factory warranty and I returned one, no questions asked. I simply bought the wrong magnification.

Looking good

Yep. Guess I missed it

I have seen Kudu bone that looks good, don’t know about the import issues with kudu? Warthog tusk always has a nice appearance as well.

1+ for the Beretta O/U

I have some rifles in the safe that I am considering putting up for sale. My question is how do most ship them? unfortunately I no longer have the factory boxes.

Looks like it’s coming along nicely.

Gunsmith had it for roughly 24 hours, problem solved. I took it home and fired a few test shots with the suppressor, sounds awesome. I usually like fixing things myself, but this was $29 well spent.

Called the local smith and if it’s not pinned $29 and if so it’ll cost more. Better than me screwing it up and having to buy a new one. Thanks for the input guys.

Yes sir, I want it off so I can mount my suppressor.

I have a Remington 700 that I purchased second hand. It has a muzzle break on it that I’m not too fond of, I tried to get it off without any success. I tried a heat gun to warm it up and still no luck, any suggestions before I head to the gunsmith?

I’m looking to build a rifle to function for both whitetail and to do some coyote hunting. It abyone has used this scope can you please comment on its daytime use. Looking at shots of 200 yards.

My brother bought a Ruger 350 Legend for his 9 and 7 year olds to deer hunt with, they both do well with it.

Blue wildebeest as well.

Model 7. It was my first and favorite deer rifle.

Kudu, which is on your list is a must. I will have to agree with the waterbuck and warthog comments above, neither animal were even on my radar for my first safari, but make the list for next time.

I’m in the market for a day/night scope, thermal is in my budget unfortunately. Im trying to decide between the ATN4k and the sight mark Wraith. Does anyone have experience with these that could point me in the right direction?

Is that a “trophy” or “meat” bull?

I used Tom to get my animals back from my safari in 2019. Great guy and company to work with, all went as planned without any issues.

Tom is top notch, he was on top of our shipments and had a solution for every bump in the road that was encountered with my imports.

Their is a jewelry shop in Jberg that made my spent cartridges into a bracelet and a tie clasp. Our PH dropped them off on our way back to the airport then they got mailed to me a month or so later.

I like the neck wrinkles, I have seen it a couple of times on AH. Is that a new thing? None of my mounts North America or Africa have this and it adds so much.

I took advantage of the rifle rental during my first/only Africa safari. I had never traveled internationally with firearms before. I believe the rifle hire for my friend and myself was $50 a day and $10 a round. We thought this was fair and had no issue with it. Being as I didn’t own a .375 at...

This has probably been in a previous thread, but here goes. When I took my impala the horns were a brown/rust color, I looked back at pictures to confirm this. But now, after getting animals back from taxidermist they are a dark almost black color, what’s up? Can I take them back to the original...

I would have to shipment separated just to alleviate any issues that may arise. I was over in Feb and was told each Hunter needed their own crate. Talk to Tom over at Trophy Shippers, great guy and he will get it all straightened out for you.

I have used my local bank and USAA without any problems, both sending money for the hunt, taxidermy and shipping.

The trophies should be state side soon and I was wondering about mounting. Some of these guys are significantly larger and I assume heavier than the whitetails I have on the wall. How do you guys mount them? Wall anchor? Lag bolt to a stud? Thank for your help

I would tend to agree with IvW. .375 will handle all the plains game and the Buff, I would take the savings from buying a new $8k-$15$ rifle set up and add more game to the wish list. BUT, if you aren’t worried about the money, I’m always for adding a new piece to the gun safe. 300 win mag, .338...

I ended up working with Tom is trophy shippers, they are scheduled to depart SA dec 10. I hope they leave before the holiday shutdown.

My go to rifle is a 7mm Rem Mag. It will make quick work of the game found in North America. I will be taking it on my next Africa trip for the plains game species.
