I have one of these. Extremely accurate rifle. Definitely kills on one end and wounds on the other. Best of luck with the sale

I'm going to follow this post for interest. My future brother in law wants me to join him on duck and goose hunts. I've never been waterfowl hunting. It is pretty crazy how many different brands/blends/sizes of shotgun shells are marketed. On a side note, does anyone use an over-under for...

My hunt in 2021 was four nights. At the time, my job offered criminally low paid time off. I hunted over the 4th of July (a Monday) so I could do the entire trip with only using four vacation days.

A few years back, I worked the gun counter at a big box retailer. I ordered a 70 Safari Express directly from Browning. Their rep said they produce those rifles for one month each year. Same can be said for many wood stocked rifles. They would rather turn and burn plastic stocked rifles for a...

From my hunt in July, I was charged $116 per animal for dip and pack services. Figure in roughly $500 for permitting, documents, etc etc on the South African side. My air freight out of Johannesburg was $600. Domestic freight was closer $800. Customs gets a cut, plus terminal storage fees...

That's probably right. Mine was 64 kilos from Johannesburg to Chicago and it was $600

Yeah I can believe that. I'm having three shoulder mounts done: blue wildebeest, impala and a blesbok as well as having the backskins made into throws and my quote was $4300. I have almost $3500 into dip and ship, freight and the legal stuff.

I have the 30 cal DeadAir Sandman-S. A downside, if you can call it (see any porting/braking thread), is the requirement for a key mount muzzle brake at ~$80 per unit. But, it's extremely versatile. I run it on all my MSRs, my 6.5, 308, 300 Win Mag, etc. And if I ever hit the Powerball, it's...

My crate just cleared customs in Chicago. What I found shocking was that domestic freight to Central PA was around $450. In comparison, my air freight was roughly $600. Kinda had some sticker shock when I got the invoice

My dip and ship taxidermy is flying out of Johannesburg next Friday to Chicago. I have an impala, blesbok and wildebeest capes, horns and backskin as well as an impala skull and horn for a euro. My shipping was $600

I had one heck of a time getting an interview during Covid. I'm a 2 hour drive from Pittsburgh International. Over the course of 10 months, my appointments were cancelled in Pittsburgh, Toledo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh again and finally I had to settle for a border crossing in Niagara Falls, NY. A...

I cannot speak for that volume of animals, but I just paid my final dip and ship invoice for 4 animals, all relatively small, and air freight was $600 from Johannesburg to Chicago
