    Preferred Case Orientation

    I have done my combi case (double & bolt) this way in the past. I am just about to change case and I will for sure flip things around to ensure that the serial numbers are visible w/o removing the weapons from the case for identification

    Zimbabwe Recommendations

    I had the pleasure to hunt with Dalton (Dalton&York Safaris) in October of this year. Did a great two-site hunt with 7 days in Chewore South (Tuskless and Buffalo) and 5 days in Omay (Hippo and PG). Would recommend anyone who has the possibility to hunt two areas to do so… like being on two...

    Three European calibers for a do-it-all R8

    Never thought I would say this but don’t go for the 9.3x62 unless you want to be a true purist… just to be clear… I believe that the 9.3x62 and the 9.3x74r (depending upon what rifle one owns) are the best caliber in the world. 6.5x55 (instead of the 270) 8.5x55 (keep it, unless it is traded...

    Great to see/heard that it is appreciated. I have found that writing these report help me sort out and bank my memories from the trip in a better way. Furthermore, (with the risk of sounding pretentious, which I am not) I hope that my trip can aspire and/or help a fellow AH member who is...

    ZIMBABWE: Oct 24 - The Adventure Of A Lifetime

    Thanks for highlighting this part. As I have previously stated, this was my first DG hunt in Africa and like everyone else, I read articles and watched YouTube clips about charges and when things "go wrong" in Africa. This of course creates a perceived view of what to expect but Dalton was clear...
