Can anyone shed some light on this WR 12 gauge? Everything look legit? Approximate value? https://www.gunbroker.com/item/981438467 Thanks in advance!

Anyone have any info on the organization "SORAI"? "Save Our Rhinos Africa/India", particularly their stance on hunting? The research I have done they seem to use words like "illegal wildlife trade" and "poachers" so my guess is they are not opposed. But would like to confirm and figured if...

Hopefully this is posted under the right section, apologies if not. Title basically says it all. If someone was looking into a wild lion hunt with an emphasis on being importable into the USA and success rate of the hunt, does it get better than Bubye Valley Conservancy? Mature...

I know some of you have to be into luxury timepieces! Selling this Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang Ref# 641.CI.0110.RX This beautiful Hublot is one of only 500! The Spirit of Big Bang is a newer, unique design that looks amazing and is very comfortable as well. It is a 42mm case. This “ALL Black”...

Prepping for a buff hunt (and hopefully elephant in the future, sometime) and will be using aframes for softs and am trying to figure out what solids to select. Always heard good things about woodleigh hydros and found some loaded but with the factory fire news Im wondering if its best to use...

Is anyone here from Michigan (specifically southeast)? I'm trying to get info on getting our 4457 forms taken care of for an upcoming safari and the local CBP office said just fill it out and show up at the airport and from all my research from folks that have gone to Africa before that's not...

This is probably quite a few years down the road for my safari plans, but you never know. Thought it might be an interesting discussion to compare the different hunt options and their pros and cons to the conservation of the species and the hunter. I originally had it in mind to do a dart hunt...

After a record bad drought several years ago, the area I've hunted in Texas for over a decade now has struggled with buck quality, most theories lean towards a mix of die off and no fawns for at least one season. It's been getting better since then, slowly but surely, and this year has been the...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, especially since I have a leopard hunt planned for 2021. https://biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-releases/lawsuit-aims-save-leopards-import-us-hunting-trophies-2020-10-28/ I have already reached out to Safari Specialty Importers and am scrambling to...

Well...I've been absent from these forums for a while due to a combination of initially being terribly disappointed at having to postpone my first safari and also getting insanely busy with projects. The safari is rescheduled, fingers are crossed, and I'm back to this great community. Thought I...

I am wanting to get a set of shooting sticks for my wife and I so we have the exact ones we practice with on the safari(s) with us. Has anyone used both of the styles of stick pictured (3 and 4 leg) and can comment on pros and cons? I will buy both and compare if I absolutely have to but that...

For going to Windhoek- Any advice/preference on whether to take Delta out of Atlanta, connecting and overnight in Johannesburg then to Windhoek or Qatar out of Boston, Connecting in Doha with 8-9 hour layover then into Windhoek? Why do you prefer one over the other? Looks like total travel time...

Have a Seekins Havak PH1 (the orginal with the hand fit stock) brand new in the box, never fired or had a scope mounted. Chambered in 28 Nosler. $1750 obo plus shipping. Built a chassis version with carbon barrel with some parts from competitive shooting winnings so this one needs to go to fund...

Considering surprising my wife with a rifle for her when we go on our first safari. I havent made up my mind on model, the straight pull and versatility of the R8 (in addition to the scope mounts being the same as my S2) are appealing. Could also just get a .416 barrel if she ever wants to chase...

This stalk started a bit over an hour ago, but the story begins long before that. Though I cannot pinpoint exactly when, I know it is something I wanted to do before the ban on hunting these animals was announced in 2013. Not being able to afford to pursue them at that time, it was a saddening...

Anyone use a high quality (gps) luggage tracker? Seems like it would give a good peace of mind, even if just in the gun gabe and not all the different bags. I've tried to use the Tile ones, they're ok but work on bluetooth only so can be very limited on effectiveness. If so, which one and how...

I've found a few posts using the search feature but figured I would gather some more information if possible. Who has hunted with Nick Nolte Safaris (particularly if it's for leopard)? Experiences, reviews, opinions are all greatly appreciated and PMs are welcome if you prefer. Thanks in advance!

This is a few days old so I'm sure lots of you are already aware of this, but DSC filed suit against the US Fish and Wildlife Service over elephant importation restrictions. I became a member today to hopefully help fund the fight in a small way. Im sure this will be a long, expensive suit but...

I am starting to research pricing and references and thought maybe we can start a thread that could be of use (maybe even stickied) for many more folks than me. I only know 1 person I trust who has hunted Africa so first hand experience isnt an option for me. I have already contacted several...

Looking for blaser S2 barrels. Let me know what caliber and price. Thanks!

Hopefully this is posted in the correct section.. How in the world do you go about choosing an outfitter for africa? There are so many choices and, like all other destinations, there are surely good choices and...not so good ones (one recent review I read on here supported by photos wasnt quite...

I've been a member here for a while but wasnt active, my big game passion has been reignited and thus my dream to visit africa. Thanks so far for all the good info and putting up with my questions. I try to read more than I post but I will definitely be taking advantage of all the knowledge here!

I've been browsing some DG rifles and found one I kind of fell in love with...‍♂️ What's something like this worth in the US? S2, big 5 engraved between the receiver, trigger guard, and grip cap. 470NE

Starting the planning process for my first safari, still several years out, but looking for advice on rifle calibers as I'm fairly certain I want to have a custom rifle built. Actually, I'm still undecided on whether I want to have it built for my first safari, or have it built afterwards and...
