Positive thoughts and prayers for Teresa

I try to take my son every 2 or three years to Africa. Next year it is Botswana. What gets to me is not the price of the hunt , it is the other costs added to hunt costs. Flights Overnight in joberg Hunt Hunt tips- +/- 10% Dip/pack Air freight to seattle Seattle Coppersmith import fees and...

Pricing is very dependent on extras; wood quality etc. a plain Jane 5-6k

I paid $7500 for this gun in 270 , including Swarovski scope on guns international 60 days ago

Maybe a 6.5 PRC shorter 22 inch barrel threaded for suppressor. 270 also a good versatile caliber . It’s really the bullet you put in it that matters just as much.

Buck spitfire in orange

I agree . Last year I shot 500-600 gophers with my favorite ruger 77 17wsm.

I like my 280AI for everything. Went to Africa last fall and hunted deer /elk speedgoats here in Montana. I continue to add to my Dakota collection but all I need is the “Traveller model at this point and finding that model is expensive ! I am very close to done with adding guns . P.S. If you...

Africa sky has a vip service that handles everything and they have really nice lodging and meals cooked to your specifications.

I have same Christensen ridgeline fft in 280 ai but barrel is 22 inches and I use a 5 inch Thunderbeast suppressor. Great rig ! Shoots under 1 inch/ 100 yards Have same rig in 6.5 PRC and is also excellent Good luck with your sale.

Light and fast= 25.06 for deer and antelope or 280ai for deer ,antelope, elk

Quad sticks are great for long shots from a standing position when you can get away with standing. I own Rudolph and viper . Both very good . Viper is lighter. Primos trigger sticks are good for out to 300 yd when sitting or standing or kneeling . They are my go to in mt . Prone is best but...

We have fought cancer as a family and know a lot more about it than I ever wanted to know. My advice is stay with your wife until you know your in the clear and the visit Africa.

I am looking for a left handed 25.06 for my son for Christmas. Moderately priced … if anyone has one they would like to part with please let me know. Thank you rick

Any brand of quad sticks. Supporting the back end of the rifle improves accuracy. They are easy to use once you get used to them. Rudolph sells them for around 100 bucks direct. Viperflex are the carbon Cadillac 3-400. I have both and if PH is carrying them who cares how much they weigh.

Ricky and I leave on Sept 20 for our hunt with John X in the eastern Cape of South Africa. After examining our alternatives we have decided to go with Delta again. Bozeman to Atlanta and then to Joberg . Overnight at Africa Sky , then on to port Elizabeth. We will be on a 10 day hunt. Ricky is...

very nice trophy room . Enjoy yourself. You did a great job

Very common here in Montana. While I respect the skill it takes to shoot long ranges, I don’t like the increased possibility of wounding. The highly technological world we live in is leading all of us down a dark path in many ways. Get closer !

Thanx again everybody ! Appreciate all the advice

Thank you everybody. For what I need the Maven b series would be a good possibility.

I would appreciate recommendations for compact binos in the $1000.00 range. When I am not hunting and don’t need my range finding Zeiss Victory’s I would like a small pair of binos for general use. Thanks for your thoughts !

I like a 22 inch barrel with a thunderbeast ultra 5 suppressor (5 “) for hunting.

Did the liberals at Apple extinguish the Africahunting.com AP ? Mine doesn’t work and I can’t find it in Ap store?

Welcome to a great forum . I live near white sulphur springs.

Would really like to hear opinions from on the ground South Africans

I left it blank.

Question 10 on ATF FORM caused my form 5320 .2 to be rejected by subcontractor doing review for ATF. The customs officer in each of two offices in Montana told me they will not allow suppressor on 4457. I am going to try again for my upcoming September SA TRIP.

How accurate is this rifle ?

Beautiful rifle. Very fair price in my opinion. I am trying to resist as I am loaded up on 7mms

Trophy solutions is very good ! [emoji638] x user !

;>

Looks real nice! Hang some deadheads

Welcome ! Right now I live in central mt myself . What you need is all here. Don’t hesitate to ask questions.

Welcome !

How do I get the nonsense out of my post. It won’t let me edit it out ?

I ended up buying a [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]]PRC from Mark Biggerstaph . I am putting a leupold vari x [emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]...

Dakota on Guns International yesterday

Maybe- until quality sucks , or you wait so long it doesn’t matter, or you get the wrong heads . You can take chances but not me. I like to minimize the unknowns.

Totally agree. Why take chances having all your taxidermy in Africa. Dip and pack and bring that home and find a great taxidermy here at home. Make sure you use a taxidermy with lots of African experience.

30 months wow! Did you get your outfitter involved? I used SI and had to get Garry Kelly safaris and they got their attention!

Great rig !

Great hunt ! Thanx for bringing us the report. What a buffalo !!

I also have purchased guns on this forum when the seller’s description and pics failed to identify defects. Although these pale in comparison to a twenty thousand dollar rifle. Let the buyer beware , and thank you to the forum for insuring a lot better marketplace than Gunbroker etc.

You had a great time and write a great report . Thank you for sharing!

Turkey early May in bull mountains in Montana, east cape SA with John x in sept, then elk and deer at home in central Montana. Maybe I will get a tag for antelope here at home !

Red although pic is grainy - want to get into chest cavity

I would never move to a place where my home is surrounded by security fences and or bars on the windows.

My last years September hunt was delayed due to Delta Airlines cancelling our Atlanta to Joburg flight . We were unable to rebook in a timely manner. We will be there this September if all goes well.

I like suppressed shooting too and was born in 1956. Hank Buck have you tried a suppressed gun ? Put a 5 inch Thunderbeast can on a 22inch barrel and you have a sweet shooting rig . Accuracy, recoil , sound reduction are all improved.

Great explanations. Thank you.
