    Got my ivory import permit!

    Congratulations! Need to get that hunt on the books sooner than later. Talked to John Jackson at SCI and desperately would like to take advantage of his knowledge and skillset on getting ivory imported before he decides to hang it up!

    Who's Flying Qatar This Year?

    Been looking to try a Qsuite myself! Finally, after 15 years and 7 safaris, my wife finally feels comfortable that our kids are old enough for her to join me on a trip to RSA later this year. This will be my 40th birthday and delayed anniversary so I was gladly going to splurge, however, I...

    Tsetse flies

    Without having read through the full thread this may have already been suggested.... this was recommended to me by a PH in Zim to use in Tanzania this past year and to say "I was less than confident it would help" is an understatement. After a marauding group of Tsetse flies ate us alive and...

    Finally, my Heym 89b, 577 NE

    I'm thinking 450/400 would suit just fine.....

    Finally, my Heym 89b, 577 NE

    Congratulations..... Beautiful rifle! Makes me think real hard about calling Mr. Sells, pretty sure a DR is in my near future.

    Cape buffalo hunt coming..what bullets to choose..?

    I used Barnes 500GR. TSX out of a 458 Lott in October based on the outfitter recommendation. After 3 Buffaloes in 7 days I will not use anything else. I was traveling with a safari mentor who was use to the old 1 soft and all solid follow up, so he was skeptical at first. After the first bull...

    Thanks @Red Leg , it was an incredible hunt and not only did I use the Blaser successfully, it solidified in my mind there is not a better option for the traveling big game hunter! CK

    R8 one system two barrels for DG and PG in same hunt?

    I am struggling with a very similar issue. I have the Blaser in 458 Lott with a 1x6 Schmidt & Bender and considering adding a 375 H&H barrel to the kit. Conundrum being that unless I am simply on a PG hunt I will want to have the Lott ready to go and when the old adage kicks in that you have to...

    Thanks @Red Leg, the seller is completely open to it being inspected and will offer plenty of time for JJ to thoroughly examine prior to finalizing the purchase.

    B. Searcy & Co. Double Rifle Reviews and Wisdom Needed??

    Thanks @Hunter-Habib, I talked with a pretty famous elephant hunter in Botswana and they constantly over last 20 years had several in camp and were used with great success. I have devised that there is a great deal of polarity of people that love them and people that know they have a bad "rep"...

    B. Searcy & Co. Double Rifle Reviews and Wisdom Needed??

    There seems to be only one other topic that garners such polarity and difference of opinion and that is with saying the word "Blaser"! I get everyone saying get a Heym... would love to but looking at double the price. I have a hard time justifying a double rifle as I am sure it will only be used...
