    Wanenmacher Gun Show-Tulsa

    As the others have said or suggested, this is the "gun show" to go to. And have no doubt in your mind. This is a gun show, and a huge one at that!!! Last time I was there all of the AR and AK crap was in a separate area. Pre-64s, RSMs, collectable Winchester lever guns, and a fair share of...

    Don't order much anymore, but have order most everything in years past from Midway and don't recall ever having a issue. Used the same credit all of that time.

    Benefits of Joining SCI or DSC

    I have been a member of DSC since 2013. Not only have I learned "most" of what I know about African hunting from this forum, I have made so many friends that I have from this forum and the DSC show, I've learned just as much from them.

    Blaser S2

    Dan, I had an interest in buying one maybe around 2016 after talking to @Red Leg had told me all about his. At that time I found one for about ($7000) Don't remember the caliber. By the time I came around to actually spending the money, they were discontinued. A few years later I ran across the...

    Hello from Austria & Hungary

    Welcome to our forum. I spent a lot of time in Hungary some 20 years ago. The country side was covered with wild game animals. Unfortunately for me at the time, I wasn't allowed to hunt due to my employer. I spent some time in Wien, but never much in the country side. Both countries were...

    Age to Start Kids Hunting in Africa

    Unless it recently changed, if the child's mother is not going with you, you may have to have a legal document granted you permission to take the boy out of the country even if you are the father. Follow this closely, it can completely cause your trip to be cancelled. Good Luck.

    Post Covid Rising Safari Cost

    Lon, are you referring to medical insurance you have to carry for your staff? On both of my trips over I carried Global Rescue to for medical emergencies and to get me back to my home if necessary. Fortunately I never had to use it. I believe I paid about $170 for each trip to cover me. I...

    Post Covid Rising Safari Cost

    Covid caused many of we as hunting clients to lose substantial money (by my standards) for the hunts that we had pre-paid before Covid hit. I recovered my international flight costs, but also lost my local flight costs within South Africa. Not the same problems that outfitters are currently...

    Melanie Passes away at 76

    Read of her death yesterday. Google up her with Lay Down and the EH singers and listened to it several times. What a great song it was and still is. I was about 19 or so. So sad.

    DSC 2025 in Atlanta....are you going?

    Good to hear from you Phil. Sorry I couldn't make the dinner this year. Atlanta is twice as far as Dallas for me. Before I can make a decision about Atlanta, I will have to know all of the details of the show itself and the details on the location and hotels. I personally only know my way around...

    Three Ruger RSM's For Sale

    @rookhawk now lives in Wisconsin. One of you guys could see about him helping you contact and confirm info on the seller. Although I don't believe he considers RSMs high end rifles.

    You guys with Ruger Africans in .275 Rigby take notice of this!!

    I had one of the Lipsey Ruger Africans in .275. and paid about $975 when they first came out. Sold it for about $1600 about 3 years later. Asking $3000 plus for that rifle is xl2jsu. Offering to pay it is worse.

    .458 Lott for Plains game?

    My two cents about your question. I don't own a .458 Win Mag or a Lott. I have taken one buffalo, and killed it with one shot at 90 yards with my .404 J with a 400 grain Barnes TSX. BUT more relative to your question....Several years ago I attended the Tulsa Arms Show. Met a couple that were big...

    Ruger RSM Recoil System

    If the recoil system continues to cause you a headache, I am pretty sure you can sell the RSM fairly quick then find you a rifle with a more standard type recoil system. RSMs don't last very long for sell unless they are over priced. And that does happen on this forum fairly often in my...

    Want To Buy Ruger M77 MKII Express Rifle 30/06

    Like most of my guns, they pretty much all shoot better than I can. I only shoot out to 100, with only occasionally shoot out to 150. My express has a older model 3x9 Zeiss. The best scope I own!
