    In the Market

    I’m in the market for a double. I want a 450/400. How much money does this take assuming I want value, not looking to go over 20-30k. Would prefer new if that’s possible. Engraving would be nice. I am also willing to wait a year or more on the build. Where do I start?

    Leopard Back From Zambia

    Im a fan of the lounging leopard, action shots get old fast and in my opinion take away from the beauty of the creature. A slight open mouth is cool though as they don’t always have their mouths closed

    African Huntin Boots

    Don’t overlook the keen targee IV. They are really solid all around boots. I’ve spent years obsessing about this, you will never stop if you are like me

    If you had to start your gun collection over.

    22 mag owner here- wish it was something else as well. It’s a fun rifle but I’m not sure what it’s for. I wish it made sense for the tiny 10

    If you had to start your gun collection over.

    I’d probably just get a blaser with two barrels, one in 30-06 and another in 375 h&h. I do all my bird hunting with a Benelli m2 20 gauge. The reason is simple, I don’t like having a million choices to make and I do not like recoil.

    Lead and monolith bullets

    I haven’t bought a lead bullet in a zillion years. Even for whitetail, who wants to eat meat with lead fragments throughout? Not to mention performance is 10x better.

    Hornady DGX bonded failure

    Why chance it? Montolithic’s are empirically better performing projectiles on large thick skinned game.

    That darn buffalo hunt!

    4th safari coming up this year, will be hunting my 2nd buffalo. I thought it would be one and done but actually can’t imagine not building a trip around the murder cows every time

    Vaal Reebok

    Looking for stories, picture, advice on chasing Vaal Reebok next year in the eastern cape. It will be a tad bit out of the way from our home base so trying to make sure it will be worth the couple days in the high country. Also- optic rec for a 270 wsm for a Vaal hunt

    300 WSM or 270Wsm

    I made the mistake of choosing the 270 wsm over the 300 wsm in my sako a7 tecomate. Don’t be like me. The 300 wsm is the ticket- the 270 wsm has not really impressed me that much, basically just a 7 mag except the bullets cost twice as much, if you can find them.

    Quick Release / Quick Disconnect Scope Mounts - Do You Use Them?

    I do not and don’t think I ever would. I know they are proven but it still seems sketchy to add and subtract a scope in the field.

    Suppressing a Dangerous Game rifle - 458 lott

    The trend is clear that suppressors are becoming more prevalent and legal in new states and countries, their use on dg rifles will probably continue to increase despite some people being staunchly against them being used on dg rifles for reasons I will never understand, but I also don’t...

    Does it matter to you?

    On my only dg hunt. My ph carried a double and had to use it to stop a mountain Reedbok of all things. I was very impressed with his shooting ability!

    If you want to shoot dangerous game..

    This is an odd take. Buff are dangerous, especially wounded buff. The added pressure of making that first shot perfect is real at 80 yards or 30 yards. Walking up to a herd of Black Death, even within 80 yards, is not something most people are capable of. It’s still exciting, sporting, and...

    Meat Eater - Steve Rinella in Africa

    It will be good for African hunting. I support people exposing the sport to new eyes. It will have no effect on the prices or access in my opinion.

    trophy room furnishings

    There is “African Trading Port” in Capetown that is the only time I have ever enjoyed shopping in my 40 years of life. It’s actually worth a trip to Capetown by itself! I was in there for 4 hours and some of the items I acquired are absolutely priceless to me.

    Duck hunting shotgun question...

    I’ve seen people lose their shotguns on two occasions dude to them being camo. If you lay a camo shotgun on a Levi it disappears. I don’t feel like it is necessary and would only buy black.
