Elite Hunting Outfitters

migrabill, Thanks a lot! Now I have another one I have I have to look into. Lol Seriously, Thank you and everyone else that has replied. Jb

Still in the planning stages for my 1st time going to Africa. What I would like to know is what was important to you on making your decisions on which outfitter to go with. Each time I think I am narrowing it down I come across another outfitter that looks just as good or better than the...

Thanks guys! Appreciate all the input. I am a sponge right now for all information I can get.

All new to this but was wandering what is the general consensus on joining or attending one of their shows. I am still in the planning stages of trying to pick where I want to go and which outfitter to go with. Will joining either of these organizations help with this? I have been a long time...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

You guys are a wealth of information!! I now have plenty of homework. Thank you to everyone.

I don't have a trip planned so I cant give specifics yet. The animals will range from impala on the small end to Zebra and wildebeest on the larger side.

Looking for a starting point for 30-06. I understand each rifle will be different but looking for suggestions on bullet type and weight for plains game hunt. I am not a re-loader so looking for off the shelf or even going with custom loads. Thanks in advance!

How often do you shoot out to 3-400? It might be a consideration in magnification but it’s a personal preference too. I used these numbers wanting to make sure I would be good for future Africa hunts? I have never been (yet) but from videos I do on occasion see guys shooting this far. I am, at...

What brand 30-06? Bergara B14 Hunter Does the rifle require a one piece or two piece base? Either (I believe) What eye relief are you wanting...

I think 2 or 3 power on the low end would do well for me. Seems like I always use more power than what I see guys using. I know for a 100yd shot I would probably be on 7-9 power and I see that typically guys using 4 or less for this range. I feel like the more I zoom in the more accurate I can...

Looking for opinions. I am setting up a new 30-06 rifle. It will be for hunting. 300 to 400 yard shots being the farthest for me. I do not care for the tactical look and would like to stay with direct mount rings to avoid a rail. Recommendations on good rings would also be appreciated. I have...
