I’m definitely in the new camp. I’d much rather purchase a factory brand new rifle than anything used. Especially older guns. Given the option of purchasing factory new or used I’m going factory new every time. But that said, I have bought used guns when factory new in that brand/model was not...

You beat me to it lol. I use the magnetic version. But they offer the non-magnetic version as well...

OP: Lots of great responses in the thread. The one common denominator you’ll find, is we all hunt differently, and all value different items. There’s an entire range from nothing but what you can fit in your pockets, fanny packs, backpacks, culling belts with accessories, strap bino harnesses...

I’m biased, as it’s what I use. But I’d take a hard look at marsupial gear...

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask, but can we create a new updated tipping thread? Hopefully a moderator will see this. This tipping thread has been wonderful. But the original post is now 17 years old and there are 76 pages of responses! That’s a lot to sort through for anybody...

I’ll jump in and be one of the few voices that goes against the grain on this one lol. I’d say it depends on how you hunt. If you use a bino harness on all of your normal hunts, then I’d say use it in Africa as well. My first buffalo hunt, I used a Kuiu enclosed bino harness. It worked well...

I’ll be there for the AH dinner in Atlanta Friday night. Chase

I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and feedback! I’ll have to make a final decision fairly soon. I’m already having the back skin turned into leather. So I suppose I could have the cape turned into leather products as well. Definitely would have a lifetime supply as all I can think of is a couple...

Meaning to ask this question for a while. Long story shorter. I did my first Safari in Mozambique in 2023 and killed my first Buffalo. A 37.5” bull. Nothing exceptional trophy wise, but I am extremely happy with him. Had a fantastic hunt! I had planned to do a wall pedestal mount with this...
