I never received a response within two hours, it’s an outright lie. Rude remarks and cheap shots are the tools of weak men.

I’m not saying the site is responsible in anyway. I did look at the member that scammed me and felt comfortable because of past transactions on the site. It was under my $1,000 limit and I went for it. My responsibility. The reality is if you use GB or EBAY or most other commerce sites and link...

Or maybe just rude?

I’m always impressed by tough guys who throw insults hiding behind screens. if you would like to meet in person I’m happy to do so and discuss it then. I never got a response that I saw. I was told I did but that it becomes unavailable a day later.

Last time I’ll buy anything here I guess. It’s just to dangerous with no recourse. On Gun Broker there is at least some protection and recourse through your credit card company.

I tried to buy a scope on AH, I’ve bought 3 or 4 things on AH and this is my first problem. Not sure if someone hacked the members account but I thought an AH Veteran would be safe. willbaforce AH veteran I reported what I believe is the scam three days ago and I’ve had no response from AH...

Monoculars are made to look at things you already see with the naked eye with more magnification. Not very helpful. Buy the best binoculars you can afford (or can’t afford) they are more important then the rifle or scope or ….. Swarovski 8x36 compact or 10x42 with the laser range finder. They...

Ship it as tool parts pay the duty and … Not the best researched advice but it’s worked for me in the past. Your results may vary but it got to me no problem for what it’s worth?

The rifle is available?

Awesome

Your Sako Deluxe is interesting, with that floor plate and stock shape. NA sure we access to it in NA. Can you send a pic of the floor plate if you get a chance?

The eastern cape has had a ridiculously long fraught that just ended this spring. Bushbuck numbers got halved and then halved again. Some areas did better but as a rule it’s bad. If it was me I’d concentrate on either the area around Durban or the Limpopo.

In my group they did everything but drop yoy from a helicopter in the swamp. They simply don’t have that many buff in the forest zone. They pushed and pushed for everyone to hunt the swamp. Even the two guys that had booked and confirmed forest buff.

My all time favorite hunt! Congrats! How was the rest of the plains game?

My all time favorite hunt! Congrats! How was the rest of the plains game?

I’ll take it.

My experience differs from this a little. A bear under 300 lbs is still tougher then a whitetail, but agree 100% they are effectively taken with deer rifles all the time. Stopping a big 500-650lbs monster like we have in the coast of BC and occasionally on my farm in Quebec is a very different...

I shot 200lbs black bear when I was 14 with a 45 ACP and hardball 230grs …. It ran a long way after I emptied 7 round in his direction. I think I hit it 4 times. I also shot one with a Freedom arms 45 LC and 280gr hardcast flat noose. It was under 300 lbs and DRT. A 357, 10mm and 41 mag are...

The reality is that there are very few real deals. True wilderness areas that are well managed with good infrastructure ain’t getting any cheaper. Especially for your first buff … make it a unbelievable memory. Wilderness, tracking, and hunt hard. Personally I don’t think I’ll ever hunt...

You will get a buffalo with Zambezi Delta Safari but …. It’s almost certainly taking a buff in the swamps. It’s a great experience however it is not a traditional tracking hunt most of the time. Here’s how the day goes. You wake up at 4 am from a spike camp near the swamp. Drive to the swamp...

90%+ of my shooting club in Duchess county drive LRs, a lot of defenders as second LRThe guides mostly drive F150s with a few GMC and Rams thrown in. I drive my F150s for 10 years and give them away to some family member that need it.. They even make me park in the guides lot out back at the...

My Grandfather was a senator and minister of finance in Canada. He’s rolling over in his grave.

I’m so ashamed to be Canadian.

You might be breaking a very serious hunting law or offending the hunting gods if you don’t have bushbuck tags on your pocket. On a trip like this you might walk into an 18 incher.

I use 175gr LRX in my 300 Weatherby at around 3300 fps. Recovered 3 or 4 bullets from game and they all look like an advert for the X with all petals attached. It might just be a batch of bullets that slipped out with a softer alloy?

Interesting, thanks for the review. I’ve been using a Sako Black Bear in 9.3x62 for about 8 years now. It has a MPI custom express style fiberglass stock on it, EAW pivot rings/bases and a 1-8x24i Schmidt and Bender scope. It also has a back up Leupold 2.5x20 M8. I took it to Cameroon in 2016...

The only lever action I really use in the wonderful 356 Winchester.

Who made yours? Any issues?

I guess I’m looking for a better 400 Whelen? I really don’t want 2300-2450fps, I don’t think it’s needed and don’t want the recoil in an 8lbs rifles.

Buff mostly and eland I guess. I like CRF standard length actions, relatively light rifles and don’t like recoil. 400gr @ 2100fps kills everything that walks. The big CZ actions/rifles in 416/458 just seem … to big. I’ve handled some really really nice custom 416s and 458s but they just don’t...

PITA wildcat? Sorry, what’s that?

Just wanted a standard cartridge to be able to load 4-5 down. 400gr .410 bullet at 2050-2100fps.

That bad?

So … I think I have a terrible terrible idea that I kind of want to actually do? I love the 400 Whelen and have had two rifles that where suboptimal in feeding and reliability. What if I used 240 Weatherby brass and slowly necked it up to ,410 and shot 400gr bullets out of it? Belt fixes any...

McMillan stopped in letting the Safari stock, you buy it and then need to get it inletted and that adds major cash to the cost. It was another $1,000 to get my 375HH inletted and bedded.

Sorry, my bad. I thought this was the illuminated model. My apologies for not reading this closer. I was so excited by the EE.

I’ll take it.

I’ve shot a few with the 9.3 and 250grs. Worked well. Solids exited and the Xs where found under the skin of the off side shoulders.

Just to offer another option … I’ve used286gr Nosler Partions and Nosler Solids with success. Yes the partitions are a little softer but they have worked for me. I have also used and love the Barnes TXB and Barnes Solids at 250gr with a velocity of 2575fps. I’ve switched to this and it’s my...

I fully respect your preference and choice. Besides the enjoyment and aesthetics there are some advantages to a single shot. Ease of load/unload, focusing hard on the first shot, accuracy potentially and I’m sure a few others. For PG I’ve brought a ruger #1 and enjoyed it immensely. My slight...

I wish we could buy Mauser actions or barreled actions.

I’m sorry brother, that is beyond frustrating! It does seem like this is the new normal in the travel world. I hope you can salvage some thing out of this.

Closest bear was 6 yards in a corn field, average on over 50 has been 50 yards. The longest buff was maybe 50m, closest was 9m. Now bushbuck, maybe not dangerous really but certainly royal game!! Closest was at the end of my rifle barrel maybe 2m and farthest was 700m. In open country...

First time with them? What are you hunting? Who’s your PH?

I’ve shot, LDE, East African, Livingston and a bunch of Cape. The only one I had trouble with was the Livingston in Mozambique. Shot him low with a 375HH using 300gr Barnes X. Tracked him for days before we finally got him. I’ve used 9.3x62, 375HH, 300 Weatherby, 300 Win, 7mm Rem Mag, 260 Rem...

Crusader Safari, Eastern Cape, Baviaans river.

If you can scrape the money together to do a DG hunt … don’t show up with an action designed to shoot ground squirrels. Hunting DG is dangerous … not crazy so but there are risks. If you get really unlucky or make a big mistake you can get hurt or get your PH or tracker hurt. Buy the best DG...
