Option 3. Shooting a double 470 is just unbelievably satisfying.

Not sure if it's correct, but I filled out three (3) Form 4457 for my trip and in the Number portion I put "1 of 3" "2 of 3" and "3 of 3"

Similar issue with a kudu I had done in Namibia. It - along with multiple other mounts - were garbage. I took the horns to my 'go-to taxidermy' and they sourced a real kudu skull and matched everything perfectly. I wasn't too excited about the synthetic skull, but that was my back-up option...

I'll take it. PM sent your direction.

Nice! I'll plan to go in and take a look. Thanks for the heads-up.

I procured a Chapuis Elan chambered in 470NE last year from Gordy's in Houston and I've put over a hundred rounds through it, and I'm terribly happy thus far. She is taking her maiden voyage to Dande in Zim June 2023. I would have no reservations looking really hard at Chapuis. @Tom Leoni any...

Congrats on the Chapuis 470. I acquired one about a year ago and it'll be heading to the Zambezi Valley June 2023. I love that gun. Noticed the fly rod cases - are you going to try for tigerfish on the fly while in the Save?

Growing up in central Texas, all I wanted was to shoot a "big deer." I didn't have the means or the opportunity to go to south Texas for the deer I read about in TTHA magazine. So I waited - somewhat patiently - and it wasn't until I was 35 (5 years ago) that I was finally able to hunt a true...

Why would someone do that to themselves?!?! I love my Ruger No. 1 in 416 Rigby but boy after a few shots at the range I am done.

IMO the IWC Pilot's Spitfire with the green strap is the ideal adventure watch. My early 2000's no-date sub has made many journeys around the world with me and I use it in a way that it was built for. When my son turns 18, I'll pass it along to him and hopefully he'll be able to get even more...

@Houston Bill Collectors Firearms has 450/400 DGX, was in there browsing the other day and saw it (memory isn't too great, but believe it was the DGX....)

Yes, I must certainly go for the highly coveted African trilogy of fur, feather and scale! I am taking the trusty 375H&H, but also just took ownership of my first double, a Chapuis 470NE, so the only thing that could make it even better is that we can get within double range for the buff.
