My outfitter is relaying that Mozambique classifies each Blaser barrel as a rifle and the barrel-less rifle also as a rifle. Their statement to me is that since there is a 3 rifle limit per person, I can only take the stock + 2 barrels. I wanted to take 3 with me due the variety of game we're...

This year was my third year hunting with Leopard’s Valley. Each trip has been a little bit different, but all have been amazing and memorable experiences. This year I was hunting with a different PH due to my previous PH having had a new kiddo. But my PH was one that I’d met before and even...

Looking to sell my Kilo 10 Binos. They were purchased new by me and I will include all original accessories (Box, harness, etc). Accesories are not shown in pictures but I can pics of them if buyer wants to see. They have been used but and have a very small scuff on front and slight linear...

With Qatar airways being a bit unreasonable about not allowing people to travel with firearms when they book Qatar flights through American Airline's website (or other OneWorld carrier's websites), I'm wondering if there is a way to ship my rifle instead of taking it as checked baggage. I...

Has anyone else booked travel this year on Qatar using miles from American? I had done this last year and had no issues with submitting my rifle and ammunition information to Qatar to obtain their approval to travel with a firearm. Same situation where I used American miles to book Qatar...

Reticle is the 1/4 MOA L BRM reticle, non-illuminated New in the box but I cannot find the multi-tool for it. As you can see from pics there are no marks or issues at all with the scope. Price is $1850 delivered with full insurance and signature on delivery. Payment via USPS Money Order...

I decided to book a 10 day Buffalo hunt in Mozambique. I'm really looking forward to the hunt part of it and tracking/walking for days to find the right one and the right shot. But, if everything lines up to take a great one and still have days left in the hunt, what are some other animals I...

Up until now, I've been using Primo Trigger Sticks. After my last SA hunt, I've been looking for some shooting sticks that support front and rear of the rifle like my PH had. I just got a set of the 4 Stable Sticks from @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION and in practicing with them today something felt...

Excellent condition rifle. Purchased it from previous owner who noted <40 rounds though it (he bought 2 boxes of ammo and had not shot it all). No marks at all on stock that I can find, it looks brand new. I had intended to have a second setup but have instead decided to go with an Akila...

I admit to being fairly new to hunting in Africa, with just 2 South Africa hunts under my belt. First was on a Cabela's package in 2022 (using PH's rifle) and then booking on my own for 2023 (using my Blaser R8). A little while back I was looking at Cabela's packages for 2024 and their offering...

Brand new, still sealed in box. Had ordered a while back and while waiting for them a buddy sold me his Sig Kilo 10Ks. So, these are up for sale $1200 shipped to your door. Not looking for anything in trade at present, just looking for cash sale. Payment accepted via USPS Money Order, Cashiers...

On my most recently hunt I was fortunate enough to take nice examples of both of these. I'm now torn trying to decide between full mounts of each on their own, or a single mount including both in some sort of scene. I've looked around online and can't seem to find any existing ones that align...

Last year I had done my first Africa hunt via a Cabela's Signature Event booking. At time of booking, I didn't know where who the actual outfitter would be, but I trusted I'd be in good hands if Cabela's was doing it. That turned out to be very true. I had an amazing time last year and before I...

Have too many project hunting rifles that I collected and haven't had any attention after I bought a Blaser R8. So, up for sale they go. Not looking for any trades, just looking for cash sale. Shipping costs for any rifle will be $50 as it includes both original box + outer box + full value...

Had a nice typo on order where I bought 8 when I meant to get 3. So, I have 5 of these for sale. All still in plastic as received from Blaser. Just looking for my costs back of $24 each shipped, payment via Paypal F&F. Stock picture here:

I've read the number of threads on the forums but I can't find any clear and solid answer on how to take your own suppressor with you from the US to SA for your hunts. My thought was to just have my PH buy one for me to use while I'm there, but then I decided to do some more investigation on my...

I really didn't expect it to work this well, but my R8 seems to love the Barnes 30-06 factory loaded 180gr TTSX ammo. Shot a ragged hole 3 shot group at 100 and stayed under 1.5" at 200 even with a flinch on my part. I have about 30 factory rounds left so I want to work on re-creating this load...

Any recommendations on some good checked bag luggage that can meet these criteria? Main Criteria: 1 - Durable, want this to last for many trips over next 10-15 years. 2 - Must be within airline size limits, adding up all LxWxD must be 62" or under 3 - Must be waterproof itself or have a easily...

Background I was thinking back on my hunting experiences and have concluded that it has been >20 years since I have hunted any game larger than birds. There was a long period of time where I was not shooting firearms at all. It was roughly 7 years ago that I got back in to rifle shooting and...

For my upcoming safari I will be taking my Blaser R8. For it, I have one of the Negrini hard cases with integrated locks. This case is much smaller than the typical Pelican rifle hard case so I've been able to find a rolling duffel bag that can accommodate the Negrini case. My plan is to lock...

Have my first Africa and first PG hunt this summer. Largest animals will be Sable & Kudu. I've only been about to find Vor-Tx 30-06 ammo with the 180gr TTSX in stock and have been practicing with that. Although I've seen multiple mentions of using the 168gr loaded ammo, I can't seem to find it...

I have a hunt planned this summer where the following animals are possibilities: Sable, Kudu, Impala, Warthog, Spingbok, Gemsbok. My newly purchased R8 is in 30-06. But in reading up on it, and having found a deal on a barrel. I'm tempted to add on a 375 H&H setup for the R8. My question is: Is...

Any recommendations for a good backpack that is large enough to handle trip clothing essentials as a carry-on bag as well as being a good day pack when hunting? Preferably one with a non-camo style to it, just plain green or dark tan/brown. I was loaned a pack by a buddy for a Safari this summer...

I have two options to get me to JNB for my hunt. I can do British Airways going SEA-LHR-JNB in BA's First class (though LHR-JNB was 'downgraded' to business class) or I can go on Qatar SEA-DOH-JNB in Business (Q suite only on SEA-DOH). I have read Qatar is great with firearms handling, and that...

Heading to SA in June and trying to get boots lined up to ensure they're broken in before the trip. I had ordered a pair of the Lowa Zephyr Mid TF boots but they are just a bit too narrow. They felt fine until I took a few steps and realized some of their side plastic/rubber/exoskeleton was...

I'll be doing my first African hunt this year on a package including a Sable, Kudu, and a warthog. I've contacted some Africa based taxidermists to get ballpark quotes of taxidermy (shoulder mounts for all) & shipping. I was very much surprised to see the freight costs were about as much as the...
