Bottom line-no. I have one just cuz, but ear protection is compact going through the bush

Suppressor definitely hits the cool factor, but totally unecessary with ~32db ear protection. I have a suppressor just cuz, but the ear protection is compact going through the bush.

Stay with the 300 WM 180 gr. anything. If you're just hunting plains game, 30.06 is primo and the ammo is everywhere......why buy a caliber that isn't readily available?

I never had an issue with TSA, but then we have no choice in the matter.

Keep what you have; it is enough gun to effectively kill all DG. JUST pay attention to bullet placement

I use Timney for my bolt action upgrades and Trigger Tec for my AR platforms

I shot a Texas Aoudad in April and the trophy fee was about the same as an Axis. I don't know where they are such a nuisance, there's nothing but ranches. Just like wild hogs......if they are such a nuisance, why isn't there an open season on them? Nope....you pay $$$ to hunt hogs.

Just look at the sponsors of this website; there's a bunch of outfitters who either live in Namibia, or have concessions to hunt.

Don't get hung up on bullet combos; bullet placement with appropriate DG bullets is the key. For Cape Buffalo, the hunter never knows how many rounds it will take to drop the beast, because they are bullet sponges. You just shoot and shoot until it drops.

No need to wear camo, just hues of browns, khakis, greens, and grays. I wore rip-stop cotton and waxed canvas jackets with layers...superb.

Twenty five years ago the only major canvas work brands were Carhart and Dickies; lined and unlined. Carhart was the most widely popular. Construction worker, carpenters, electricians; all the trades wore them.

Correction: Cutting Edge bullets are available, not North Fork.

North Fork offers them in 232 gr. They are currently available, because I just took delivery of an order 30 days ago. If they are out, give me a shout; I'll send some gratise.

Ballistically, there is really something to be said about the 7.7 mm round. I made a point of making my .303 Enfield (manufactured 1896) to be a show-off performer. I kept the same shitty, half rotted, original stock, reinforced it at points you couldn't see unless you were really looking...

There is nothing wrong starting a son/daughter out at 6 or 7 years if they are motivated. There are many different varieties of small PG animals that require only a .22/.223 to kill. Just go up from there.
