In Uganda you can only hunt with a valid Ugandan hunting permit, together with a Uganda-licensed Professional Hunter, within a hunting Concessionaire's Government-approved Hunting Area and under supervision of a Uganda Wildlife Authority's Ranger.

NITECORE MH12SE - INITIAL REVIEW LED technology advances every year, and I decided that it was time to upgrade my EDC for the last 7-8 years, a Fenix UC40UE. This has been an exceptional light, totally reliable, and I just love it - but today you can get more light, more throw, and more runtime...

Great report, well written!

Interesting... I'll get a couple of laser pointers in red and green, and try that out with different animals. Maybe I could get a lion to chase a dot like a house cat? :giggle:

Michael, thanks a lot, that's exactly what I wanted to know! I gave some thought on how to set up a laser on my rifle: I have a piece of picatinny rail under the barrel, but that's for my light. A light/laser combo would add complication and reduce battery life. A possibility would be to add...

Has anyone tried a laser on a DG rifle for close-up work? Seeing that most professionals in SF/LE who see close-quarter action do have lasers installed, and seem to quite like the setup for the advantages it gives in quick, close, confused situations, it would make sense that the same...

As a working rifle, a .460 has so many drawbacks that it's a hard sell to most everyone who does the sums. When you carry your rifle from morning to night in the bush, and need to be split-second fast and accurate with it, there are a few points to consider. It's heavy. It's long. It's...

Selling my Heym 88B Safari in 450/400. Factory-installed peep sight on claw mounts, rifle stocked accordingly. Nice, well-balanced rifle. Just been refreshed and checked by Nate Heineke, gunmaker in Laramie. New leather-covered recoil pad. Pictures below were taken before the new pad. Rifle is...

The plastic round nose is just for feeding. Woodleigh does the same with the Hydro, which by the way has a similar "dish" in the nose, although it does not deform like this one does. The reduction in diameter is insignificant in terms of energy transfer, what really matters is the nose shape...

That's one of the reasons I prefer carrying a 9.3 for ordinary duties... :D

NECG are selling Recknagel sights and parts made in Germany... And if you look at the whole Recknagel catalogue, you'll realise that there is a LOT of good stuff in there. http://www.recknagel.de/Joomla/ Unfortunately you can't get that good stuff, because NECG is not importing it, and...

With all the advantages that a sling can have for a hunter, when it comes to DG hunting in Africa there is a quiet consensus: the vast majority of professionals do not use a sling. Out of the two dozens or so that I'm personally acquainted with, old, mature, and younger, not a single one uses...

I find slings to be an annoyance on the rifle as far as carry is concerned, I hate them dangling around and they seem to always be in the way at the wrong time. I'm used to carry my rifles without a sling. On the other hand, a properly set sling is a terrific help in steadying the rifle for an...

:p Yep......
