    Lead Sled Experiences

    As I approach 70 years of age, I find myself becoming more and more sensitive to recoil. Even the moderate calibers like the 7-08 beat on me to the point where range sessions these days are limited to about a dozen shots. I have noticed some folks using the Caldwell Lead Sled device with good...

    Zebra skin rug problems?

    I must say that Louis at Spiral Horn Safaris has stepped to the plate today with an offer to send me another zebra rug free of charge and to check with the tannery involved to see that something like this never happens again. Nice, huh? I am a happy man.....

    Zebra skin rug problems?

    I just recieved my rug and have found that the head/neck portion of the rug is VERY stiff. So much so that if I step on that area it hurts. Plus, it does not lay flat so I am constantly tripping over it. Question: is there anything I can do about these problems now that I have the rug home here...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Second Safari Hunt Report

    Well. I have returned from my second plains game safari to South Africa. Again, I hunted with Spiral Horn Safaris and could not be more pleased. The owner's name is Louis van Bergen and he is also the PH. Lou met me at the Johannesburg airport to pick me up after helping me clear my hunting...

    Medical Insurance while hunting?

    I just heard from my Medicare Advantage insurer that the only coverage my policy helps with would be Emergency Room charges only. Everything else is out-of-pocket to me. Gulp. Does anyone sell med coverage while I am there hunting? About 10 days. What say you? Thanks...

    Another paperwork question?

    I saw on another site that a hunter headed to the RSA carried all his paperwork in a 3 ring binder. That makes sense to an anal guy like me. Question: do you folks think that punching 3 holes into my 520 form will become problematic when I land in the RSA? What say you? Thanks...

    Handloads to South Africa?

    As my hunt approaches I am concerned that I do this right. I would like to hunt with my own 30-06 handloads and was wondering if there exsists any special requirements for bringing them into the RSA? Right now I have no boxes for them and was wondering if plastic would suffice? What say you...

    Safari # 2 needs more hunters

    Well, I am returning to South Africa's Limpopo district for my second plains game hunt. My first was in May of 2011. I hunted with Louis van Bergen of Spiral Horn Safaris. In my opinion it was a wildly successful hunt. Louis found me a gemsbok, blue wildebeest, nyala, impala and a huge...

    Looking for a quality light gathering scope for .308 BLR

    I have owned the Zeiss and Leupold and could never make out enough difference to matter. Leupold has always been the standard against which all the rest are eventually compared.

    Looking for a quality light gathering scope for .308 BLR

    All the previous answers are good counsel. However, anything over 40mm objective is a waste of your money. Scopes don't "gather" light. They allow it to be used. The better the coatings and glass, the more useful they become. I like the Leupold VX-3 line. Good balance of cost and quality...
