    QD sling swivels

    Sauer has used flush cup, push button swivels forever on their 200/202 rifles. My Sauer sling on a 200 in 30-06 has been carried the most out of anything I own and has never given me issues. That gun is heavy too.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Has Anyone Hunted With Brian Suddaby Safaris?

    Hunted with Brian also; and although I have hunted different PH’s since because I like to meet new people and see different countries/properties; I’d hunt with him again.

    First time big game hunter - should I start with an African safari?

    In 2016 hunting with KMG (who is a well know sponsor here); I shared camp with 3 young guys who booked themselves a hunt and 2 of them never hunted anything and the other had shot a couple deer. They had a great time of the whole thing. Went and played golf nearby one day, each took one animal...

    Pelican prerogatives - 1750 vs 1700 for int'l travel - experiences wanted

    I have both, and have done several trips with both. The longer case for a bolt action and shorter for a Blaser; sometimes one barrel,sometimes 2….. I do multi stop itineraries on majority of hunting trips, hardly ever airport,hunt,airport; that short case is REALLY handy when doing multiple...

    Benefits of Joining SCI or DSC

    If you read a fair amount of posts on here, and you have an eye for who posts BS and who is legit; you’ll learn more. I’m a life member of SCI and went to a couple conventions many years ago; it was terrific for seeing all the possibilities for international hunts. But for me, I have booked...

    Preparing for 1st Safari

    Take less crap, take more money for trophy fees. I can do 2 weeks with a carry-on, gun case and ammo case. ”Stuff” is highly overrated.

    What did you buy or book at the SCI Nashville convention

    Bean field is his longer range rifles….and an action you supply or choose. I’m pretty sure he still calls his heavier larger bore guns “professional hunter” and built on his own action and barrels. I haven’t seen him in years, but Kenny was always fun to talk to and deal with when I ordered my...

    Great American outdoor show

    FWIW, Trump is supposed to be there on Friday the 9th. Just a heads up if planning on being there that day, I would expect a cluster f* of crowds,parking, and security issues.

    Early booking or last minute?

    Kinda depends….. I have never booked more than 5 mos out and have never paid for airfare in ”prime time” slots either.……I’ve also never had a cold morning on safari more then a light jacket and frankly the idea of having to be cold on a hunt is revolting to me…..so I find off season airfare is...

    Laymen: what have they asked you?

    I live in the North East, not to far from NYC and this is amost the same for me. Once I get explaining the conservation end of things, I almost always get a positive reaction and although a few would choose another way for me to enjoy my vacations; I have never been chided for my involvement...

    Any Caeser Guerini guys out there?

    I have a C-G Essex in 20/28 with a very low round count from both sets and going to be selling. It has been afield for pheasant and some clays, but in very good condition. Factory length of pull and drops. Color case. Bought new at a C-G dealer, one owner. Matching wood for the fore arms. Solid...

    Too Much Gun?

    If you want to hunt buffalo you dont need a tune up first PG hunt, go hunt what you want. Lots of reports even on here with first time DG hunts and not always plains game. I didn’t get interested in buffalo or elephant until after several PG trips to several places. And my finances lined up...
