I never thought I would say this but for the first time in almost 40 years I am NOT planning a trip to Africa. My reasons, I'm tired of being treated like an unlimited ATM machine by everyone involved in the trip. If I'm going to hunt, I want to bring my trophies home. Shipping, dip/pack...

I had one just like it in same caliber. Dream rifle except the LOP was too short for me and socked me every time I pulled the trigger. It was originally made for a big shot Indian and apparently he was a petite guy. Still a nice rifle.

Old railwood teak or yellow ironwood with a splash of warthog or giraffe bone for the handle would be bad a**.

Just an fyi but the BVC is no longer a PG meca. I hunted it 2006, 08, 10, 13 and 15. Unbelievable amount of PG and leopard, everything in abundance. Just talked to a guy who hunted there last year, saw one wildebeast, two eland cows and handfull of impala. No kudu, nyala, sable, bushbuck...

My son, raising him, probably the only thing I've done right in my life. Sound: no doubt, a cape turtle dove cooing at an African water hole. Both of the above from the blessing of God.

One of the greatest joys of hunting is the "unexpected". Not knowing what will step out of the bush is the most exciting thing for me. I have hunting Old Mexico for over 4 decades and the reason is you never really know what will step out on big low fence country. Guys that feed deer like a...

I shot the original A Square .470 Capstick that was presented to Peter by the company when first introduced. A brutal weapon to shoot. For some reason, maybe because it just didn't fit me but one of the most punishing rifles I have ever shot.

Speaking of Wayne, I thought he quit doing those conversions a few years back. Is there someone else who does similar work? Wayne did a 9.3 x 62 CZ 550 conversion for me which turned out to be a jewel.

Anyone out there have the Brno 602 in 404J they would part with??? Don't know till you ask, LOL I have a CZ in the 416 Rigby, nice rifle for the money but I would consider giving up a left nut for a 404J original.

I have a 602 Brno in a .375 caliber. Very impressed with the quality. I believe Brno also made the 602 in 416 Rigby and 458. Does anyone know if they made it in a 404. I would be keen to try and find one in the 416 or 404 if available. Anyone out there with one and consider selling??

Back in 1988 I went to DSC when they were still at the airport. Had $5500 tip cash in my pocket from past five years of guiding. I was finally going on a dall sheep hunt that I had dreamed about since I was a kid. Problem was none of the guides would give me the time of day. As I dejectedly...

31, Maybeeeeeee 32".

You can import a brand new land cruiser but it can not be registered for highway use. For instance, if you have a big ranch and want it ONLY for hunting on your ranch than it can be done. You will need patience to get it done and will need someone who is familiar with the import process. You...

I had the 2H in the pickup in my pic. Why they left that engine in after doing all those upgrades is strange. The 1HZ would have been MUCH better and even better with a turbo. If you're going to spend the money, do it right.

I go back almost to the very beginning of DSC. Only missed two shows in close to 40 years. DSC(Dallas) was not only a convention but a tradition for my family. I didn't go to Atlanta last year and will never go to another DSC event. What they did was not only a bad decision but a gut shot...
