    I haven't been on this site in a while as I find it hard to see how anyone doesn't realize that your TACO guy and his hysterical running mate can be defended by people who have the same interest as me. But now that I've been on the site I see that even Brent can have a liberal opinion when it...

    A Mauser Called 'Bembe'....9.3x57

    Here in Sweden you can't even give away a 146a in 9.3-57. Everyone seems to want guns with plastic stocks in 308. Nice that you're saving a 146 that's in good condition. My 146 has been to Africa three times but it's been converted to 9.3-64 Brenneke.

    School me on .416 taylor

    By the way, is there any manufacturer that has the 416 Taylor in their program or do you have to go to a gunsmith if you want one? I myself bought a Schultz & Larsen with three barrels straight off the shelf, 6.5-55, 300WM, 416T. Now the barrel for the 416 had to go to a gunsmith anyway for...

    School me on .416 taylor

    I have taken 22 African game with mine including two Cape Buffalo. One shot kills except for one giraffe. I used 400gr A-frame and 340gr Woodies on the first trip and North Fork 370SS and 370CPS on the second trip. I am very fond of the caliber which basically does the same thing as the 416...

    NAMIBIA: 7 Days Of Hunting In The Omaheke Region With Hendrik & Trudy Safaris

    I for one appreciate the warning @Moe 324 posted. It hopefully helps others not to make the same mistake, namely going to a Farm where they sell culls as trophy animals.

    Who was at fault, me or the PH?

    None taken, if 95% of hunters are happy with that its fine with me. But from what I knew then, Kudus where the tips of the horns point backwards are not fully grown. Here are pictures of two more animals that I paid full price for. I hunted on a farm in Namibia with a black tracker who only...

    Who was at fault, me or the PH?

    A good Kudu in my book is over 55" with symmetrical horns and a good Estern should be pretty close to 50". 46" was apparently the average for trophy bulls in the area I hunted. I have no room for mediocre trophies on my walls. I was close to leaving my Buffalo Skull too as it was less than what...

    I don't think anyone paid anything for Sweden to become a member of NATO. I think the social democratic government panicked when they reduced our defense from an army of 400,000 men and one of the world's strongest air forces to basically two brigades in the army and about 100 fighter planes...

I was very pleased and impressed with the result. On my second trip I couldn't get hold of the A-frame so it had to be 370gr North Fork...
