Very informative report everybody, great to know! Please keep us updated about this possibility (with quite the time advantage so to please the boss and book everything). p.s. can you tell us more about the certificate? The legal validity around Africa? Eventual expiration date? I mean, could...

I’d really love to attend this course, but I couldn’t get days off at work for this September. Please plan something like this again next year and I’m gonna be in.

Thank you guys, followed your advice and got rid of that powder

So, just a quick update here. Got me my shell holder and bullet puller die with appropriate sized collet from RCBS. After bit of a struggle since the RCBS shell holder wouldn't fit my Lee Cast Press and had to "machine" that thing the horrible way around with a Dremel and wrong bits just to try...

Couple of days ago they celebrated the anniversary with fancy boat party and many known industry guests. Don't know if they announced anything about the Stalker lottery on that occasion thou.

Unless Rigby already contacted the winner alone. But yeah, just asking so to know if people like me who didn't had info after the 25th february = didn't win OR Everybody still on the run

So, who won the rifle? If I ain't wrong, giveaway winner has yet to be announced.

@Odinsraven replied, hope that helps. Yeah, to sum it up: affordable and reliable guns. Not very accurate, nor pleasant to look at... but they work. Also, not available in dangerous game chamberings. People has to remember that most of the cost on bespoke double rifles is about time, ammo and...

So... someone bumped an old thread. Well, I ain't gonna bash on other people guns. I too have been dreaming about my first DR for so long before having the chance to get my hands on one... let me just put it this way: I wanted my first DR to be "proper", and you pay what you get. Never heard...

And I am relieved to say I got rid of the 682. I did because I wanted an O&U shotgun more suitable for hunting, but I would have done the same even if I just kept shooting clays. So, yeah... loss of faith, but at last ain't got regrets about my purchase anymore.

Does one need to bring his gun and ammos for the course / hunt? Or are these things provided by the school?

Seriously thinking about this and anyway, you should think about doing this at least once every year Checking flight availability and prices from my Country right now to get myself overall cost idea. Where should one drop? Johannesburg?

Got me a pair of Rangers after I entered a Christmas giveaway without success. I have yet to test them out on the field but just trying them on these were among some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. Yeah, a bit wide looking on the toes but it works. Fit true to size, at least to me...

I'd say I lack experience, Sir. Anyway, good to know the provenance of the game you'll be hunting it's clear, I think it can make a great difference in overall experience. I believe hunting on public land is more true of an experience. Still, I don't understand... even if true that most...

I think I can answer this one. There is this nice book, "White Hunters" by Brian Herne. Apparently, scostman Alan Black could be the OEM PH. At some point some british aristocrat hired him and a somali hunter to guide a safari. Since Alan surname was the same english word for the skin tone of...
