Short version - A few US gun writers decided they didn’t like the non-traditional looks and operation…bad reviews followed and it wasn’t long before Blaser decided to chop it. The Krieghoff Big Five has a very similar safety mechanism (called the Combi-Cocking Device) but has the additional...

:S Agree:

But those that do like them aren't selling. And those that want them will (unfortunately) have to pay the market price for an item that's no longer in production. The Blaser S2 is a very high-quality working double with the capability of going from 5.56x52R all the way to 500NE with no need for...

I know myself well enough to understand that I will NOT be doing a dedicated wolf hunt. The time, recourses and patience required do not meet my expectations for the kind of hunt I would enjoy. I would instead opt for an add on wolf while hunting moose, bear, elk, caribou…etc. The chances of...

I feel like an addict, who's in recovery...and just been offered a drink. Damn I'm thirsty. GLWTS.

Shooting "through" brush is a myth. It doesn't matter what bullet is being used, tiny little branches, thought to be completely insignificant, will cause deflection. The only laws that apply are the laws of physics and if the bullet hits something before the intended target, there will be a...

Our washer and dryer are from 1981 and running strong. :cool:

375H&H with 300 grain Barnes TSX. Second choice from your list would be 450/400NE and 400 grain bullets. Second choice from my list would be a 458LOTT with 500 grain pills. Now if I were just man enough to properly use one. :ROFLMAO:

We specifically ask the outfitter if we will be the only ones in camp as part of our interview process. We understand the lodges located near the airports being an exception for hunters coming and going, but as far as a hunting camp, we MUCH prefer to be the only ones there. Going to SCI and...

Or maybe an Omega Seamaster Summer Blue...:unsure:

Ukutula Lodge & Game Reserve It's my understanding that there are several of these in RSA, but I'm not familiar with anymore than just this one. Our PH worked here for a period of time (before he was a PH) and worked out a deal for us to do the Day Visitor Package with lunch afterwards for next...

Spending some time in one of the parks (like Kruger) will afford you the views you want, although we've seen leopard, Cape buffalo, hippo, croc and rhino all on one game preserve in RSA. We didn't see elephant, but did visit a big cat sanctuary where we were able to interact with several of...

Do you mean to hunt all of these on one trip? Or do you want to just see them and take a tour?

I understand you would like to hunt Cape buffalo. But can you explain in more detail what you mean by "big five tour" please?

@Shane6629 - Welcome to AH from a fellow Virginian (NOVA). With your budget at $5-6K for trophies/daily fees, there are several options but you will be limited to PG animals regardless of the country you are in. DG of any sort will blow that out of the water. South Africa and Namibia will offer...
