My trophies have been picked up but the final shipper and should be here by Wednesday! The eight days in storage is just what I was paying upfront. That was the only price I needed to pay for storage. It really worked out for me with this shutdown that the 535 dolts in Congress are causing. My...

No extra storage fees, especially with the shutdown delay

Wyatt called me this evening and said that my trophies have finally been released, thanks to all our Senators for making we wait. Hopefully here next week and really glad I went with SSI so I did not pay a month of storage fees.

That is an interesting observation, if you can do it yourself successfully please help others rather than PM, we are all here to learn. Myself, I saved for 2 years to go and I did the VIP meet and greet and Riflepermits. Total was $250 and I left more than that in ammo when I left. I did the...

Yes the non resident LTC. I got mine about 7 years ago and was able to renew it with the old class. The online procedure is not to bad.

Join SCI! I care so much I joined the local chapters Board of Directors. As far as the measuring, my 3 year membership gets me 3 free entries, my impala should make Bronze and is a fun footnote to my first trip not any sort of real accomplishment to me.

I live in NH but all the stupid MA laws I pay the 100/year for an out of state MA permit. As long as its cased walking by State Troopers they don't even give a second glance. When I checked into United for Africa last year the checkin only took a half hour because I don't think the lady had...

The cherry bomb on my fix is a good suppressor mount but a loud comp similar to your setup David. I ran the whistle tip device which does the same thing and my PH did not seem to have a problem with the blast forward problem. I would loved to have taken my suppressor but did not want to deal...

I had Wyatt at SSI do my crate which is sitting in JFK right now waiting on Customs and USFW to get the heads out 10 days so far. For a Volumetric 87kg actual 50kg crate with a buff skull, impala skull, Warthog skull, bleskbok skull, wildebeest skull, zebra rug, buffalo gun bag and left over...

I read this book on Kindle a ton and took a paperback copy to Africa to read just because I enjoyed it so much. Its a good read. The Last Safari: A Season of Discovery in Zimbabwe This is the true story of an American hunter, Bruce VanBuskirk, who spent the 2001 season living a dream, working...

I second this by experience. When I was getting ready for my safari I tried harbor frieght batteries. My scopes did not seem to like them and when I changed I had no problems. HF batteries are great for home use but like thinking about cheap ammo, don’t save 2 dollars on a 5 figure trip. The...

I got mine at my local gunstore. Apparently walmart has them online but the direct link to the manufactuer is https://www.thompsontarget.com/life-size-deer-sight-in-19x25-targets/ I like the bigger fold open one because there is more space in case you hork the shot.

When I was first starting off my tripod sticks I was shooting at 200. This target was about half way through my practice. The rounds in the center were perfect aimed. The two in the lower right grey were where I rested my thumb on the barrel and moved them that much so be careful of that...

Wow all I did not expect this simple thread to spark so much discussion but I appreciate it. I did watch Professor Glass's video a few times. The gun in going to be used when I go on my next safari as a one gun safari for PG and DG. I will probably be doing the 2-10x scope because I plan to...

On my .375HH I currently have a Leupold VX3i 1.5-5x20mm with a German 4 reticle. It got rebuilt by Leopold and fixed a problem with the director and consistently groups well at 100 yards. I have a tendency to want the new shiny thing, but I’m wondering is there any reason I need to upgrade...
