Another satisfied shipment experience with Joy and the crew at Trophy Shippers! My May 2023 safari trophy crate has arrived seamlessly to Portland, Oregon and is on its way to the tannery. This is my second shipment using TS, and I will definitely be using them again in 2025 for my third trip.

If you’re on the Ford side of the fence, then I’d certainly look at one of the new ones! I’ve had multiple power strokes of all generations starting in 1996, and absolutely nothing holds a candle to this high output 2024. 500 hp w/ 1,200 ft lbs of torque averages 21 mpg empty and 12 mpg loaded...

It’s a fantastic place to hunt! Everything from thick coastal brush to open scrub country.

Ok, here’s the specs on the two rifles and my two cents on bullet performance. 6.5 PRC (built by myself): Lone Peak Razor Ti LH Short Action, HCA Summit contour 22” 1-8” twist CF Barrel, Manners EH-1 CF Stock, BDL Bottom Metal, Triggertech Diamond, Nightforce NX8 4-32x50, and SilencerCo Omega...
