    17' King Cobra

    I was born in the provinces, and we always had a lot of snakes there. I remember people who suffered from snake bites. There were deaths, but mostly people managed to get to the hospital and get an injection. And someone didn't give any injections, like my alcoholic neighbor, who simply...

    Most Dangerous Hunt(s)

    Products that just won't DIE

    Ideal/preferred cartridge on species

    That should be enough for all the animals listed. Maybe you should take something bigger for buffalo, although with accurate shooting .375 h&h will do just fine. However, one thing surprised me when I read the thread. Many are ready to shoot moose with a caliber of 9.3 and higher. Up to .500...

    Warning on new Leupold scopes

    It seems to me that Leupold will soon stop producing scopes with such uncomfortable covers for users. How Sako stopped producing rifles that could be locked with a key.

    Will this locking ammo box be acceptable to the authorities ?

    Comment by 'Raven' in media 'Ernest Hemingway's .577 Nitro Express Double Rifle by Westley Richards'

    Rifle/ammo failure on Elephant

    But at the same time, there are many safari videos where the bolt-action rifle has problems. And the thought comes to mind: "Why didn't he choose a double rifle?!"

    458 Win vs 460 Weatherby

    Did you leave the rifle as is or did you customize it?

    SOUTH AFRICA: I Have Smelt The Buffalo

    Great start. It's like reading an adventure novel from the past. It'll probably get even more interesting from here on out.
