    Elucidate me please!

    Many years since I’ve hunted in Africa but never stop dreaming. I have watched several recent hunting videos where I see guides reaching over to adjust the clients scope, putting the safety on or off, even taking the rifle off the sticks and out of the clients hands almost before the shot...

    First Gun Purchase for new Hunter

    I have the Ruger RSM in .375 H&H, Ruger M77 .270 Win and the sweet little Ruger M7722 stainless. With these 3 rifles I can hunt everything from squirrels to buffalo and the basic platform works the same.

    Anyone ever had trophies lost during the import process?

    Unfortunately investigation went nowhere. Insured by something like Honest John’s Insurance company which tied things up for a year and then paid something minimal to make me go away. Live and learn.

    Anyone ever had trophies lost during the import process?

    I lost a shipment many years ago. Kudu, Caracal and some plains game skins. It made it to New Orleans and evaporated.
