    Blaser R8 Silence - Integrally suppressed R8

    I love the integral suppressor but I don't like needing to grind out the stock for the added od. If they solve that and it fits a standard r8 chassis, it's dynamite

    While I appreciate the rustic side of things as well, I'll stick to pants. Don't sweat the wildebeest. Unlike North American hunting, I would wager wounded African animals suffer much much less. Tennyson said, "Tho nature, red in tooth and claw..." I don't think he was referring to Africa...

    Imagine that thing coming into your tent for a midnight snack. What a toad!

    What is the purpose of carrying a knife out in a safari..

    @mdwest - very cool idea. Add me to the rotation roster. @baxterb can you tell us more about that knife? I really like the dimensions and shape.

    My 2025 Pronghorn is done

    The unique ones are more memorable to me. Looks great! I wasn't gonna shoot a warthog last year on my cape buff hunt but this guy came out. Has character.

    How is everyone’s winter prep going.

    I do the same. But I have a buddy in DeWalt sales so I get a solid discount. They make a "shorty" version reciprocating saw that allows the one handed approach I hold the ham over the cooler and cut the femur just above the knee. Super handy
