ADX water cooled turno kit about $2,500.00.

Power

A few items I believe the musuem you are referring to. On power “ my cruiser” 2001 has the 1HDT engine, much better power and no computer. There are several aftermarket turbo companies. There is one made in either the states or Oz. It is water cooled. I have never used one, but I did have one...

It looks like its petrol?

Around 1990 I “bought” a 70 series thru a museum. I was in the states about 5 yrs ago. Never any problem licensing, as long as it was over 25 yrs old. Lon

If you decide, to bring one or more the Hilux is a totally different vehicle from the two different models of LC’s. Computer motor remember who ever has to do engine repairs must have software for that exact model. Now to Land Cruiser #1 with 1 Hz 6cyl diesel. No computer basic mechanic skills...

How about cigarets .I know I can smell cigarets. Scent is scent everyone need to pay attention. Our trackers swear that it is gun oil scent that gives the hunter away Lon

I looked up the watch new retail 17,900 pounds. Part of a 100 watches in a limited run of 100 units. Still a beautiful watch. Lo

I looked up the watch new retail 17,900 pounds. Part of a 100 watches in a limited run of 100 units. Still a beautiful watch. Lon

I think that is the most handsome watch have ever seen, problem is like the old Italian said “time it is up”. Lon

Or double currency

Years ago i ordered but never received pair of Russel mocassins. Pretty close to what you have pictiured. My only concern would be long sharp thorns penetrating the soles in rocks they should be gtest. The last boot i used was a canvas leather with vibram similar soles. Lon

If you look closely at your charger you will see it is 110/220. In the airport either leaving or arrival the terminal you should be able to find s country adapter. Buy several they seem to disappear. Lon

Charles, muchas gracias y vio com dios Lon

I can give you a tip on the US side. Museums are able to import vehicles than the general public. You may have to go thru Canada. On the “Africa” side watch out. More scams on vehicle import/ export side than legit. Stolen Hiluxs/Cruisers are everywhere. Let me know if you need more info. Lon

Hi RB, Thank you very much for making yourself available to members. As you know I was not physically able to participate in your hunt I was to mentally go thru all of the hunts ups and down. The first few days which are filled with excitement. Then after several unsuccessful days a bit of...

The elephant pictured is around 20. This is about average + We had made the decision not to sell the last elephant that we have on quota, and we were waiting for confirmation for another 5 yrs extension, which I received 30 minutes ago. We do know that we have to raise prices a minimum of 15%...

Medication has no effect on my postings. If I have made postings that offend you. On one side you have members who think I should write a book on unusual experiences (which I would not) and then we have ones like yourself who thinks that due to cancer meds I should not post at all. What ever we...

Small but it happens about once a year. Should be discussed beforehand. Lon

Personally I prefer s .40 cal or larger. No one can convince me that a properly fitted .404J or .450-.400 exceed most clients recoil limits. I use to have a see yellow kill it yellow/red brain. We had a walk around course in dense bush. When the tracker seed the gong target. He makes or...

Everything from the time until the time you get back on, excludes tips, private purchases & fines. I will try using the phrase “everything” or you can open a dictionary and read the diffenition. Lon

I would do my practicing off sticks at 40 meters. In our bush most shots take place at less than 25 metrrs. Lon

It is unbelievable the added costs in the USA when you visit a pub for a burger and fries. In RSA or Zim prices are still reasonable for anyone earning and using the US dollar. In Zim most PHs furnish there own equipment and make about $250.00. A good tracker $25.00. Both work about a 12hr.+...

We know where most of added cost comes from “minimum wage labor. Like you said it is a long ways to fly to save $4.00. I would recommend you bring a friend. Save $8.00. Then go hunting. Lon

This means little, but I looked at cost of Mc Donald happy meal in Calif. about $6.00 in South Africa about $2.00. I just wanted to compare some food price. Beer and liquor much cheaper. Lon

Dollars, they will buy what they need Lon

Both my wife & myself have used red dot mounted on CZ550’s caliber s .404J & .416 Rigby. Trying to get around to mounting Trijicon on 89b .470. One our well seasoned PH has used his old British .470N for over 20yrs. About 10 yrs ago he had a machinist remove his original leaf sights and mounted...

That comfort zone line gets much smaller when a cow with calf are involved. Like people sometime “we get up on the wrong side of the bed or in the ele case wrong side of the Baobab” Elephant are dangerous unpredictable wild game. Dr. Norman Monk old time Zim parks told me this story. At the...

There are many factors to consider, but for me rifle balance and reduced muzzle flip. 1. Upgraded wood which I assume will be used. 2. The original Jefferies .404 I owned used a commercial mayser action 3 rd capacity 3 Standard bbl. contour length I do not remember, but I think it was 24 or...

Interesting, you might give Ken Owens a call. With the work he has done on the really big bore’ I would guess he has either made or has found for a customer.

Melville & Moon There is another I may miss spell Ruark. All three make excellent products in RSA Lon

I tried the Barnes X bullet when they first came out. Shot about 10 rds and built up enough copper in my bbl. That I never wanted to see a barnes bullet or a bore scope. Lon

You will remember your 50 meter .470 encounter. Long after the 150 .416 is forgotten. At 50 meters or less accuracy from Ken owens Sabatti .470 should not be a question mark. Lon

I would get up during the night, armed knowing things were not right and find him on elephant trails looking for the best signal. We consider wandering around at night as a serious safety offense. He wanted to come back the next year saying he wanted to take his leopard and that he had paid a...

I would like to mention one bad client so bad he would not allowed back. In our remote camp we have starlink. This enables phone and internet coms. The client booked a multi DG hunt. He took his elephant second day. From that time on he would not he would not leave camp except for acouple of...

Hi, .375 H&H or Ruger. I preter .40 or larger, when things goes bad. Then I would prefer a hell of a lot bigger. Lon

Hi Mark, looking forward to having you. Forgot to mention. Laundry done daily Cold nights, mornings cold. Days nice.. leaves off trees.

Hi again Dan, Concerning “all inclusive” I am just going to refer the question. “Look it up in the dictionary”. What else can I say Dan?

Hi again Dan, Our all inclusive means from the time you arrive no other charges. Excludes tip and personal purchases. It seems like i need to find another word for all inclusive. Lon

Hi Dan, $100,000.00??? You can call me Lon, Our price and has been $15,000.00 alll inclusive pick up return vic falls. 100% hunter success. We hunt from either camp or lodge, depending on where the elephant are. Right now they are at both. I only know a few past clients by both name &...

Ontaro hunter, I haven’t walked their shoes and some of these people are really damaged goods. Most are really fun, the drunken attorney was probably one best and worse, you just had to hide his muzzle brake and bottle os scotch. Of course these items materialized by evening. Poor bugged after...

Hi Ontario hunter, I agree on stories about the really bad ones. Unfortunately I really do not think it is fair to the client who has paid good money for the hunt. Example what do you do with the one that keeps talking about committing suicide? Fortunately he was using a rental rifle, which...

We have sold one of two of our all inclusive $15,000 elephant hunts. It has been brought to our attention by our last three hunters that due to our low prices that we must be running a scam which they found to not be true.I could really use the extra dollars, so if raising prices will lesson...

Ask your PH what he prefers. A brain shot is a brain shot. A hippo body shot will have a good chance of making it to water where it will need a brain shot. Lon

Safari Outdoors is the #1 store to go to for most of your hunting needs in RSA. I do not believe you will ever see reloading supplies being sold inside of any airport. Lon

Level 1&2 great, when we get to level 3 & higher most need a bit of training. While doing a first aid course we included our camp staff & tracker. Without anyone knowing it we were able to set up a phony elephant attack. It was interesting to see the reactions. Was the big first aid kit...

Kevin Peacock is probably in the best position to comment. Most African countries about 56 of them, a person needs to be careful about what they say and put on social media. Sad but true. Lon

Over 20yrs ago I asked Jack Atcheson for permission to put a statement that he put in his ads. It made a statement along the lines of by 70? What % of the people would be broke. What % ill health what % dead, etc. Does anyone have the full statement?

I have taken several buffalo with .450-.4001/4.& .375 H&H. If I was hunting for my own or professionally. I would grab the dbl. every time. Both calibers will kill, but I feel more comfortable with double. Lon

In about 1978 I was in Hong Kong. The group I was with had custom clothes made. I bought a pair of Zeiss black armor 10x40 (or 42) paid almost nothing for them. Best buy I ever made. I have other quality glass Swarovski &Leica. I have cheaper Binocs for client use, but no one touches my Zeiss...
