Bob, I just read your story re: your hunt - FANTASTIC!! Boy, that sounds exactly like the hunts you read about and see on the hunting programs - excellent. Thanks for sharing ... How did it work out borrowing the rifle? Sounds easier than packing my 30-06 with me... Did you bring...

Thanks, Brian. Guess I'll have to look into Namibia = was leaning towards SA, and everyone so far has mentioned SA plus another country. I guess travel would be easiest - direct flight from NY to Johannesburg. What animals did you get last year? What is it about Spiral Horn that has you...

Thanks, Bert. I checked out Reveille's website but didn't see any prices?? Must have missed them. What animals did you get there?

Just found this forum few minutes ago. Wow... Thinking re: trying an African Safari - probably for antelope (Kudu, Oryx, Wildebeest, etc), but also daydreaming re: cape buffalo. But buff sound very dangerous/expensive:( I don't own a .375 or .416 either - sounds like a waste to buy a...
