I hate horses... I really hate them. They are problems dressed as a solution. My advice - do not get on one that has any of the following names - Widowmaker Dirty Ernie Twister Cookie Monster John Wick My Ex Wife Any of those are bad news... I know because I had them.... You have been warned.

Call Kathi Klimes or Gracy's and let them do this for you. I have made over 200 trips across the Atlantic for work and pleasure. I use an agent every time. Why? When things go wrong on a trip, and it will eventually, you need boots on the ground to sort it out. That is why they exist and why...

When you are in the luxury toy business, customer service is the "biggest thing". I never understand gun makers, ammo makers (Swift to name one), safari operators, and all of the hangers on to this business that do not make 100% effort to do everything right the first time - no questions asked...

There are plenty out there, just takes time. The best I have seen is a Model 70 that was customized by Matt Roberts. Check his website for this one. It is always a function of cost. You get with you pay for.

I have hunted both places. By far, Cameroon is the most remote and a challenge for a hunter who has not been everywhere. In summary - Uganda - safe, good infrastucture, plenty of big buff, a chance for sitatunga, and a variety of planes game that are fairly easy to hunt. The only really...

If buff is key, then you are headed to Zimbabwe most likely. I have made 5 trips there. No problems at all. CMS Safaris is outstanding - Buzz Charlton and his team are top shelf Anyone in the SAVE Conservancy are very good - Mokore with the Duckworths, Humani and the Whitalls are super. A great...

Barnes has a bunch on their website. Or try ammoseek.com

Swarovski SLC 8x30 or 10x42

Winchester 9422 - Rifleman style!

I use suppressors at every opportunity. However, my 14 yr old daughter handles a .300 WM just fine in Africa. Each kids needs to shoot what they can handle as should each adult. I do not handle .458’s and bigger very well, so I stay in my zone. So, as to the 6.5 CM, shoot it, but as for me, I...

Further, if you reload, why not use the best components available. Use RWS or Norma brass…

If you are concerned , toss it. Not worth the risk to save a few dollars….

I quit, then buy again, then quit, then buy again…I see a nice big bore or a Hagn single shot or high gloss checkered 9422 XTR or a mint 63 or a really understated elegant shotgun or custom rifle….or I go by the Parkwest booth and order something or I call Matt Roberts and build something… And...

Been there twice. I hunted with Tholo Safaris - great hunt and more kudu than I have seen anywhere. My experience is 15 safaris. Safe, friendly, no bugs unless in Okavanga Delta area. Go.

Had similar experience. They really do not represent the guns well. I avoid them after similar bad experience.
