Clarification Hey Tom. I guess my point isn't clear. It's not about the trophies. I figured that out on my own. It's about a U.S. booking agent knowingly sending a hunter to Zim on a dangerous game hunt with no PH in camp. It's about the booking agent connecting a hunter with an outfit...

Read for yourself I thought everyone might appreciate seeing exactly what the SCI Ethics documents say: “…Ethics Committee does not act as a collection agent for the complaining party and does not require the repayment of deposits, the delivery of hunting trophies or the settlement of...

Thanks Mike. I've been on this since 2008. And now have the facts straight. I appreciate your kind criticism but this is real and I've zeroed in on who is at fault. SCI was helpful along the way in recovering my trophies. But it took a lot of time and effort on my part and I learned the...

I booked a hunt with a vendor who is really active with Safari Club International (SCI) and had some significant problems with him including: deceit, intentional misstatements and misrepresentation of the facts. Last week I filed an Ethics Complaint against the vendor. Yesterday I heard back...

Send it back I've had a lot of problems with Leupold scopes in recent years. Not the exact problem that you have but other similar issues. I have several VX-III and not a one of them works quite right. All bought new. One Cabela's replaced with no questions asked. But the replacement now...

The Cabela's in Glendale, AZ has two in .45/70. The fit and finish was entirely acceptable for a $2,300 USD rifle. I would have liked the action to break further for extraction - it looked a little snug. If they get get them in any of the better calibers I may consider purchasing one. I'd...

Hey, this thread took an interesting turn but few comments related to your question. I've had one of the Cabela's branded aluminum cases with few complaints. But it is big and shiny and really obvious which may not be what you want. On my last trip to Africa I noticed that many folks had the...

Can of worms Boy, you sure are opening a can of worms. Everyone, myself included, is going to have an opinion on these topics. I'll open with an analogy to set the stage. Most of my life I'd been a freshwater fisherman. Catching bass and trout and such on light tackle. The first time I...

Good Oscar, 24" in fine for most .30. 26" might allow a little more burn time for the big Weatherby case. If you want maximum performance 26" is it. But frankly I'm having a new .300 Win Mag built with a 24" barrel It's a handy length and you don't lose much with the shorter barrel...

Cabela's plans to carry them A Cabela's Exclusive - Sabatti Deluxe Extractor Express Double Rifles - Numerous Calibers, Fine Rifle Gun Library : Cabela's

Mostly a great place I'm simply going to echo most of the earlier responses. Vic Falls and Harare were both easy for firearms transit compared to Jo-burg. Mostly everyone was very nice. Expect some nuisance $5 tips along the way and travel with your PH if possible. There was a police check...

Leupold I have several of the older Conquests and they have been great. A 3 x 9 rests on a loaner 7mm-08 I keep for guests and also a 1.8 x 5.5 on a .375 H&H that has exceptionally bright optics. Word is that recently Leupold began assembling the Conquest line for Zeiss. Not sure what that...

Fantastic People I hunted Zim in the fall of 2008 and also spent time in Vic Falls and Harare. The average person was simply fantastic. I was treated wonderfully throughout the trip. Everyone was so nice. The only stain on the trip was the cash hungry police that would stop our rig roadside...

Misled I recently fell prey to being sent on a buffalo hunt into an area where they had not seen buffalo all season. I am convinced that my US booking agent and Zim based PH would have told me anything to get my money. Whether they were greedy or desperate I can only guess but it was a very...
