    Trophy Elephant Hunt Immediately Available In Sobbe Conservancy Caprivi Namibia

    That's a relief!!!! No doubt if it had still been available when I get there on May 15th Karl would have "found" that bull while we were hunting buffalo and I'd be out 25 grand :)

    Exactly!!! If we stop going and hunting, our African outfitters will not survive nor will the wildlife!

    Scope Recommendation - Swaro or Trijicon

    I am strictly a Swaro guy - EXCEPT for the Trijicon 1-6x24 (I prefer the amber post)…. I am not a fan of Trijicon scopes except for that one - best damn DG Rifle scope I have ever used!!! On 1 power you can shoot two eyes open with ease!!!

    375 ruger or 416 ruger?

    .270 for plains game? Should I be scrapping it?

    Use premium bullets and well placed shots and you will be fine.. I would consider it a bit light for my taste but it will serve you fine if used within its capabilities…

    I flip mine every 3 years once they are depreciated.. There are always guys at my dealership just waiting for those of us that trade low mileage Duramax trucks.. On average, my truck and 15k puts me in a new fully loaded Duramax.. When I stop buying company trucks I’ll stop flipping them...
