Over my hunting career I have found several inventions that, to me, are ingenious and worked to perfection on certain hunts. Cabela's Safari Sling- I found this before my first Cameroon forest hunt. It is a 2 inch rifle sling which goes over your shoulder and your rifle is parallel to the...

I had a Nikon Slughunter on my 500 A2, it had 5 inches of eye relief and handled recoil perfectly. Last year I took a buff at last light and it seemed I was looking through a paper towel tube. I have replaced the Nikon with a Bushnell 6500 1.25-8. It also has 5 inches of eye relief and the...

Ukraine has nothing to do with burning in Africa. Can you concentrate!

Mauser, you are incorrect concerning just cool season burning, Scott and I have traveled extensively in Africa. You got to get out and stop reading some bullshit report

A 500 A2 is pretty simple to produce, BRNO 602(mine started as 458 Win needed no action work) a Bell & Carlson stock with very slight mods, a reamer and .510 barrel. Mine has had somewhere over 500 rounds through it and taken several buffs

Well Tanks, how much have we spent, and what is the limit?

After reading some of the comments, it seems some members believe if you criticize Zelensky and or Ukraine in any way or do not want to give them the entire riches of the U.S. you are Putin's best friend, a KGB agent or actively smuggling weapons to Russia

Well Russ my question to you is "How many billions should we send them?" 500 billion a trillion just tell me how much is enough. I guess you will say what ever it takes. Tell me again, how many trillion are we in debt? We can not even account for the money and equipment that we have sent over.

I can tell you what is a very common thought among many Americans, FUCK Ukraine. How many billions have we sent to that dip shit country? We don't even have an idea of where all the equipment or money has gone. Exactly how much has all the European countries actually given? It would seem if...

I flew Ethiopian a few years ago. 4 hunters get off the plane in Addis go to basement, 3 gun cases show up mine not among them. They can not find my case in time to make flight. I overnight and they fly me to JNB the next day. My guns show up in Vic Falls 3 days later. Not flying with them...

I fly to Bulawayo so the Jburg, Airlink is pretty simple but I just wanted to see what others are doing

My yearly method to get to Zim is Delta from Atlanta, either Premium Select or Comfort Plus. Debbie's people take care of me in Joburg and I overnight at City Lodge, Simple! I hear about Emirates and a few other airlines but it seems many have long layovers. Can someone explain to me their...

I just bought a 1.25-8 Bushnell 6500 to try on my 500 A2. It has 5 inches of eye relief like my Nikon slughunter so I am going to try it. If it fails I will put the slughunter back on

Save in July

put me down for 2

Hogpatrol, You are correct about the Mayor. Brought him some Weller's in July

I will be there and would love some type of informal get together. I fly out of Atlanta to Africa every year do not know the city but what is outside of the convention is of little interest to me. I will bring my own liquor and can survive on power bars while I am there. LOL

The easiest thing to do is get a BRNO 602 and make a 500 A2. Fireform 460 Weatherby brass, feeds perfect SIMPLE!

Would love to see updates!

Looking for a Bushnell 6500 1.25x8

You are absolutely right about the 500 A2, I have one on a BRNO 602 and it is fantastic. I shoot 570 Barnes X and it is devastating on buffalo!..Very easy to fireform 460 Weatherby brass and then load up!

Myself and 2 buddies headed to Tholo in Botswana, anyone one the flight?

That is the problem Scott starting with the Lott and on up. I have a Nikon slughunter on my 500 A2, 5 inches of eye relief but on my July Zim hunt when I was looking through my Meopta on my small rifle the difference in the glass was just unbelievable. I will never change the Nikon but wish...

I bought a pair of Jim Greeen 8 inch boots and used them in Zim in July loved them. Recently bought off of ebay a pair of Jim Green Razorbacks with the ranger sole. I really like them and they will be my backup for my hunt in Bots in a few weeks. Still like the 8 inch boots better

I have been blessed to have been on 20 safaris. I have spent 61 days in the forest with at least 25 days just me and the pygmies, they are truly amazing! I have also spent 10 days at Tholo in Botswana just tracking eland. The San trackers are also amazing but I thought the terrain made easier...

row 30 is great!

Mike Baird at B&B has done 3 for me, super!

Just returned from Zim and flew Delta out of Atlanta. We had row 30 Comfort+ bulkhead. I had 30C aisle going and 30A window coming back. I like the seats, and in my opinion, the best seats for the money on the plane. The aisle coming out of Premium Select is not straight so I stood up off to...

Just returned from Zim and put quite a few miles on my Jim Green 8 inch boots with ranger sole. They are fantastic for me, ankle support and quiet sole!

Just got back yesterday from Zim. All I can tell you after using Afton House years ago, which is very nice, the easiest is City Lodge. Gracy's people meet me, gun permits taken care of, then off to City Lodge. Pick me up in the morning and off to AirLink

Just finishing hunt in Bubye report to come Has anyone stayed at Senuko camp recently and send me pictures or tell me about it Thanks

Mike Baird with B&B Taxidermy in nw Houston has done all of my African work. I guess about 50 animals from 19 safaris. Just does not get any better.

Delta

most important is practicing off of sticks, you can use a camera tripod Many have never taken a shot off sticks and it can be upsetting

Good luck buddy I am on Flighr 200 Friday and staying at City Lodge. I like that route and it has worked very well for me. I will see how I like comfort+ and row 30

I hope Santa brings you. 45” buffalo

My 35 is about to go on it's second safari. 20 in barrel Remington 700 stainless in a Magpul stock Meopta scope shooting 200 grain hammers. From a died in the wool 375 H&H guy this thing in very impressive!!

Just pulled out my Timex Indiglo Expedition for my hunt in Zim, leaving Friday

I am so excited for all of you! The buffalo is going to ruin you! Look at what they have done to me I am chasing 2 in the Bubye, and have booked a hunt in the Save for next year I can not wait to have dinner with all of you on Friday!

Congratulations tremendous hunt What camp did you stay at

Delta brought out new seat configuration and I think new A350-900 for Flight 200 on 6-20. Just curious if anyone has heard anything about them

I am flying twice this year in row 30 comfort plus bulkhead

Hell wait a minute that is not fair LOL

Fantastic buffalo, will be looking for 2 like that very soon!

Thanks for the replies

In the past I have packed misc items in my small hardcase with my ammo. Just checking to see if anyone has had trouble lately

There is a tremendous difference of opinion on optics. The 375 is not a heavy kicker so many scopes will work, however mine 20 years ago destroyed a Burris with posi-lock. that is when I bought the Leupold What is really necessary to determine the difference is to look at the same object...

I have a Leupold vx3 3.5x10 on my 375 perfect for me. Been on 20 international hunts taken over 100 animals hope it lasts until I die
