that's a beauty! The VC round body is a great rifle.

Hunting buffalo is a whole different experience. On my first buffalo hunt in SA, I also took several PG species. When hunting PG, it was me and the PH with the tracker usually staying in the vehicle to come pick us up. PH had a pistol holstered but no rifle. On the day we went out for buffalo...

I highly recommend Quagga Safaries. Eric Visser runs a first class operation on the Manketti Reserve, 57,000 acres so plenty of room to roam. Great quality and quantity of game. The food is amazing and the accommodations are terrific. I've hunted with Quagga 4 times and all 4 safaris were...

great. as if airports and air travel wasn't already an ordeal of torture.

Great rifle. I have the M70 Super Grade birdseye maple in 300WM and love it.

Congratulations! I'm a big cheerleader for Chapuis doubles. I have the 375H&H with a red dot sight and love it. Been to Africa with it several times.

They are four legged roaches and need to be exterminated. Anyone with a hog problem? Let me know and I will shoot as many as I can.

I live in Dallas and have made the DFW to J'berg flight several times. Delta has an upgraded economy seating that is good service. I've also used the United flight and it was fine. Also bought their upgraded economy seating. It's a better seat for not a lot more money with upgraded...

In Africa, my Chapuis 375H&H double. With the RMR red dot, it's fun to shoot. For upland birds, my Beretta SL3 20g.

I want the PH to carry whatever he wants and knows he shoots the best.

I hunted water buffalo in the Northern Territory, Australia in 2023. I used Australian Outback Safaris and had success. They use a tented camp, so we were "roughing it" compared to most outfitters in South Africa. Lots of big buffalo to choose from. They are not as aggressive as Cape Buffalo...

Here in Texas, my favorite hunt is doves in September each year. For big game: Cape Buffalo. I've hunted 3 of them and would do more if I can find the money. Third place: any upland bird hunting--quail, pheasant, etc.

That is a beautiful SO5 and unusual with the case colored metal work. A new SO sells for $80,000 to $100,000+ depending on custom engraving, wood choice, etc. This SO5 is a bargain at $15k.

Yes. Went up there from Dallas about 8 or 9 years ago to buy a Perazzi 20g George had in the vault. I traded an old Beretta 12g plus some cash. Enjoyed meeting George and seeing all the guns in the vault. So many it was hard to pick out one to examine. JJ was still in the same location at...

Next shotgun I buy will be a 28. Been looking at the Berettas. The store in Dallas has a beautiful 687 EELL--but kinda pricey. Probably will go with a Silver Pigeon.
