While we're on the subject... any news on some .404 Jeffery brass?

Elite Hunting Outfitters

I brought one with me to Namibia in 2018. We did a self drive tour after the hunt was done. It was invaluable for that portion of the trip. It wouldn't take an address as we know it though. I had to look up the coordinates of any place I needed to go, and plug it in that way. Worked very well.

"And No Birds Sang" by Farley Mowat. It's a memoir of the author's WWII experiences with the Canadian army in Sicily. A departure from his usual books on animals and the Arctic. Sometimes graphic, sometimes somber, not a lot of glory, but I think does a good job of explaining the realities of...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

I've booked a Buffalo hunt with Mpeti for September, my first. My pal is joining me for his first plains game hunt there as well. We're really looking forward to it!

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris! And Thank You for the opportunity!

I have been daydreaming/tire kicking the idea of a double rifle around for some time. I've made a few bids on auctions (with the advice of those with knowledge from this very forum), and handled a few of the entry level pieces. I think - (maybe) that I have finally put this idea to bed. I...

Me too. Have your Permit to Transit The Netherlands with a Firearm form approved prior to departure, and you should be good to go.

This could very well be a tit-for-tat reciprocity kind of thing. We were in a little tour bus going from Botswana to Zimbabwe to go see Victoria Falls for a day trip. The bus held about a dozen people from all over the world. The Visa cost for each nationality was different, ranging from US...

I've been a Firefighter for the last 23 years now. I take every overtime that I can get, and live pretty simply to be able to afford travel/Africa. No toys (boat, motorcycle, ATV etc.), and no vacation property either. This was our choice to live this lifestyle, as we value travelling and...

I had the pleasure of corresponding with, and then meeting up with Shootist43 earlier this year. He graciously invited me to his home while my wife and I were on route to SCI. We spoke about all things rifle, gave me some great reloading tips, and generally made us feel like we were having an...

If the rifle speaks to me in some way, nostalgia, rarity, craftsmanship, or just plain lust for what crosses my path, I have purchased it in the past. Then, the search is on for components or a deal on the factory ammo that is required to feed it. For me, the search for these components is...

I own a pair, 10x42, and really like them. The last time I took them to Africa, my PH needed a quick look at something and I offered them up to him. His reply, after looking through them, was "Jesus, what brand are these!" He likened them to his older Leica's as well.
