I have always preferred Leathermans, especially the Wave, but I recently bought a Roxon. Their modular kit allows you to build your own multi-tool with only the tools you want on it. So far it has been great. The quality is as good as Leatherman and I only have the tools I want. If my needs...

I had one on a RJ Renner Ruger Rigby. It's a great sight, but I found it got in the way of the safety. It might be better with a different safety system, but that was my experience. YMMV.

Like I said, folks will believe what they choose to believe. I'm not going to get into a debate with folks or defend my position further. I've had my fill. It's really easy to say, "it's just the cost of doing business"...until you are suffering the consequences later on down the line. We...

This response is also for @towserthemouser. I've been in service to our country for 36 years. 25 in the Army, and the rest as a federal employee working in, shall we say, the "National Security" field. I am in charge of, among other things, the counterterrorism vetting unit at USAID. The...

You shouldn't believe everything being fed to you. What's going on to dismantle government agencies and what federal employees are enduring right now is beyond the pale and unconstitutional. Ask me how I know... That being said I hate any company that tries to push any social agenda...if you...

Great to know. Thank you!

Funny you should mention those...I checked out Hendershots and they were Out of Stock on pretty much everything 7x57.

Glad you didn't run it up as well, but also that I didn't snatch away something that you were really gunning for (pun intended ). A 7x64 ZKK or ZG47 sound really cool...good luck in your quest!

Great tip, thank you for that!

Excellent! Hopefully my rifle likes them. I really like the penetration and expansion with the copper monolithic, so I am hoping the TXRGs can be my one and done round for the Mauser...until I get around to reloading for it.

Thank you! I'll have to give the Norma Whitetails a try as well.

Again Sir, I appreciate your perspective. I heard that the S&B round had a tendency to separate and that American versions of the 7×57 tended to be underpowered. So far I have had no luck finding the PPU heavy rounds, but I will certainly keep an eye out for them.

Any feedback on the S&B 173 gr. SPCEs or the Federal 175 gr. Powershoks?

I saw those as well, that was going to be my alternative.

Excellent! I'll have to try a box when my rifle arrives. Hopefully it shoots them well.

Thank you all for the feedback thus far, please keep it coming!

Good to hear! Great to hear of some first hand experience with this round, especially from someone as esteemed as yourself, Sir.

Yes, that's the one I just bought. I love the Whitworth rifles and really wanted a classic 7mm Mauser to hunt PG in Africa.

I just bought a Whitworth 7x57mm and am looking for a good factory round for PG. I will eventually reload for it, but for now, I am going to stick to factory loaded. I already have too many projects to take on load development for yet another caliber! Just like the title asks, has anyone used...

I had RJ Renner customize a Ruger M77 30-06 rifle for me. I had him do his "Ruger Rigby" package with a couple of modifications. He added a new white bead front sight and barrel band. For the rear sight, he added a rear Rigby style aperture site to the bolt. He shortened the LOP for the stock...

I don't have any experience with the A Frame, but I used factory Barnes Vortx .375 H&H, 300 grain TSX on my hunt in Limpopo earlier this year and took warthog, impala, blue wildebeest, and cape buffalo with one shot. All complete pass throughs (including the buff, which was impressive!) and all...

Buckd975 is a POS scammer. I was dealing with him the same time I was dealing with another scammer here. Gave me a name and address in Ohio. Same story, contacted me about a WTB post I made. Sent a USPS mmoney order after he sent pics of the acope. Then no scope, no money...just excuses and "...

I had a WTB listing for a scope ( yeah , I know...) and the individual reached out to me, sent me pics and contact info. Yes, I contacted local law enforcement, yes, I contacted USPS and yes I have an address...to a 19 year old girl in a different state than the area code of the phone. I should...

I sent the USPS money order to vandingmax724 for a scope. Trying to get USPS to investigate as a stolen money order, going to cost me more money and take up to 60 days.

vandingmax724 is a scammer. Received a USPS money order a week ago...no contact since and no response to requests for info. Later checks shows phone number doesn't jive with address...probably stole someone's identity as well...

Want to Buy a Leupold VXR 1.5-5x33mm Scout Scope with FireDot Duplex reticle. Been looking for one of these specifically for a while now, with no luck. Hoping one of you have one collecting dust somewhere! If you have one you'd be willing to part with, please PM me. Thank you!

Another vote here for a Tikka Tx3. My wife is a lefty and wanted to start hunting after our trip to SA. We got her a .308 Hunter...super accurate, nice wood and blued steel, and not too heavy. She loves it!

Well this last one wasn't my fault...but I do tend to use my gear pretty hard (not abused, I just don't baby my stuff). Of course, I was an Infantryman for a good chunk of my 25 years in the Army, so I can be a little bit like a gorilla with a rock! @mdwest I agree the VIP program pretty much...

Just to add to the list. I am a huge fan of the Leupold VX-R 2-7x33 scopes with Firedot illuminated reticle, particularly the Ballistic Plex reticle with the small circle and cross hairs. This reticle really catches my eye and heIps me get on target quickly. I really like the 2-7...

I bought a Rambo ebike about 4 years ago. It definitely is a game changer to how I hunt. It lets me get further in, in less time, and it's definitely quieter. Another benefit is I'm not all sweaty when I get to my stand. It also is great once I have something down. I invested in a pull behind...

Agreed, I bought one of the new ones in .375 H&H for my trip to SA in May of this year. It was my only rifle for PG and even a Cape Buffalo and it performed great! The only complaint on mine is the safety is still a little stiff, but its breaking in. Accurate, smooth cycling and the balance...

PM sent, very interested in this one!

Using a Barnes Vortx 300 grain TSX round ouy of my Winchester M70 Alaskan at a distance of about 75 meters, I got a complete pass through of a cape buff. Heart and lung shot, dropped in her tracks. Never even took a step. Dample size of one though, so take it with a grain of salt.

I have had a Guide Gun in 30-06 for over ten years now. Its a great rifle overall, although she is a little heavy for a 20" barrel. It helps soak up recoil, but it does get heavy packing her around all day. With Federal 150 grain Powershoks I usually get .75" groups at 100 yards. Topped with a...

Thank you all for the comments! It was an incredible trip. I have to thank all of you for the tips and knowledge you impart on this site and I'm glad I found this forum, it was extremely helpful before the trip.

Hyde Hunter, thanks! Its like you peeked over my shoulder and saw my new wish list! Hahaha! I might add a Nyala too. And yes I am anxiously awaiting my trophies. Its going to be a long painful wait. Hahaha. I am having the taxidermy done in SA.

Gillettehunter, thanks! She is definitely a keeper. R.M.C. thank you! I had no idea they were so skittish. O never would have guessed they would have been the hardest one to get!

Bear with me, this is a long one...so grab a biltong and a beer...enjoy! Just completed my first hunt in South Africa with Wild Wildebeest Lodge in Thabazimba, Limpopo. First off, it was an AMAZING experience. I now understand all the comments that there is no going to Africa just once. My wife...
