Great offer!! Should make for some exciting 'trigger time'!

I’m really sorry to hear your pair were stolen, that just totally sucks!

I called and asked about these, the seller said to call back later, his Mom had just heated him up some Hot Pockets and he didn't want to miss his dinner!

Love your mounts, Lauriston does great work!!

I've flown out of and returned to Dulles 10-12 times, mainly on Qatar. When I arrive to the airport I ride the long term shuttle bus to the terminal, wheel my luggage and gun to the Qatar check-in counter, there they will ask for copies of my passport, 4457, Letter of Invitation, etc. After I...

For me, I target 100 a day for PG, 150 a day for DG. Yes, I have tipped more, especially on DG if the guide was really doing a top notch job. For example, if you target 150 for DG per day, then you and your buddy would each tip PH A 75.00 for Days 1 & 2, for a total of 150 each. If you feel...

Welcome! Glad to have you here with the rest of us! Anything in particular you are most wanting to hunt?

I love that open air dining area, all aspects of the lodge and your room look awesome! Hard to beat a thatched roof!

Congratulations! That's quite a beauty!!

Of the 2 you are asking about, I personally would use the Terminal Ascent.

That's because you strike them as an Honorable Gentleman!! lol

This last hunt was in the Omay, it was a 10 day hunt. I ended up taking tuskless and land based hippo, lots of hippo in that area. Earlier this year I was in the process of looking up Ranchero Safaris, saw they had a camp in the Matetsi area, while working on that possibility I came across an...

@Parkerpusher, anything you can add about any hunt you take will have meaning to the rest of us here, share away! Sounds like your first trip was a great experience, and I hope this falls hunt has many great memories too. A baboon cull hunt sounds quite interesting, what gun will you be using...

@Parkerpusher, I really enjoyed reading your write up. I have taken my .308 Kimber Mountain Ascent to Africa many times, and I’ve taken a lot of animals with it. This spring I had the 22” barrel cut down to 17”, put my Scythe-TI suppressor on it, it shoots .75” groups with Federal tipped...

Glad to hear you had good experiences with the trophy bonded tipped ammo. I tried 5 different factory loads in my .308 for next months hunt, the bottom left is the trophy bonded tipped ammo, obviously, that’s what I’ll be using.

68 here in Maryland where I’m at. Lovely temperature!

Haven’t gotten around to listing this elsewhere so I thought I’d give it a bump here!

No doubt all four of these need to sneak up on a mirror to comb their hair!

Wow, what a stunning looking rifle!! Congratulations!!

I can’t remember if it was Friday or Monday but I was able to buy SPCX for 123.50. The lowest I saw it was 119 something.

WOW, absolutely stunning stocks!!!

My first 2 safaris were before Al Gore invented the internet, so back then you had to use a booking agent, which was just fine, but not like today. My first safari, 1988, was to the Omay in Zimbabwe, as you've asked, my second was to Namibia. I chose Namibia because I wanted to hunt a...

Bo knows!!!

Welcome! Glad to have you here with the rest of us! I'll be hunting with Bob en Dal safaris next month myself, thanks to @Mark Biggerstaff's recommendation!

I've hunted Africa many times with my Talkeetna, these are great rifles, I like the 4+1 capacity. I had my barrel cut down to 20", handles so nice when hunting! GLWS

Welcome @DryFly1995! Glad to have you here with the rest of us! Looking forward to your hunt report!

Welcome! Glad to have you here with the rest of us!!

That's a lot of rifle and scope for 2700.00!!

Three years ago I did a 'group' hunt for buffalo in Uganda, meaning it was 2x1. Never in this lifetime would I look to do a buffalo hunt 2x1, but being Uganda, it wasn't a matter of getting one, it was a matter of getting one you liked. Anyway, the fascinating part to me was listening to...

I would ask my girlfriend to share a great recipe with you all, but her favorite thing to make is reservations!! lol

Wonderful that you put this hunt together, looking forward to hearing more about it and also know when next year's hunt will take place.

What an awesome looking rifle, I absolutely love the color tone of your Rigby. Congratulations on a great purchase, and good luck pursuing buffalo with it next year!

Safe travels, looking forward to your hunt report!!

22 Hornet would definitely be ideal, for me, I took my little guys as opportunity presented itself, so that’s why mine were taken with my 375H&H.

Certainly cannot blame ammo makers for dropping low selling calibers. I have no idea how small gun shops begin to stock ammo when there are a gazillion calibers out there.

I have taken 7 of the Tiny Ten, all with .375H&H. One was taken with a solid, the others were taken with Barnes TSX. I was never interested in full body mounts so I just aimed center mass and shot. The TSX bullets acted a good bit like a solid on the ones I shot.

For RSA, I personally would not bother with taking a Thermocell, I did however take one on a hunt in Zimbabwe once, camp was along the Zambezi, it was a big help when sitting around the fire at the end of the day.

@Brian, it's your hunt, if you would feel safer wearing snake gaiters, which would allow you to relax a bit more when walking about the bush, then wear them, it's your hunt and your health.

It is a significant difference! Have you held a new Mauser 98 rifle, I have a Dos Original model in .375H&H, I've never run a smoother action in my life!

I bought a case of this ammo as well from Raven Rocks, great ammo, shoots great out of my rifle, using it next month on Wildebeest and Zebra. GLWS

Welcome! Glad to have you here with the rest of us!

In my many trips I've seen mambas on 3 occasions, saw a puff adder once, saw a couple of cobras, but look at it this way, when is the last time you read on this forum where a hunter died of a snake bite? Then realize that wherever you are hunting, all of those people have spent their life out...
