It was the Galana River, a little west of the Tana. It was pretty full of kiboko and mamba so at least Tasvo still has those in good numbers.

This still happens. I know someone in Kenya who had their 458 Win taken away and later had it returned for the same reason. A funny coincidence that .458 is also the caliber issued to the Kenyan Wildlife Service…

The SO is back up for sale. The buyer pulled out just before Christmas and I had not gotten around to reposting it. In the interim it did receive a full service from Beretta and has a clean bill of health. As before any questions let me know!

I have spent a fair amount of time living and working in East Africa and have come to believe anything is possible there. As has been said here before the post-colonial politicians looted natural resources to include ending hunting to allow for their sponsored poaching operations. They also took...

Thanks for the post and sorry to hear about your experience. They had a nice Beretta competition shotgun listed a bit ago that I thought about. Ended up deciding against it as I could see it was not in as good condition as they described. There are fewer and fewer dealers I will buy from these...

Has anyone else spotted this one yet? https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/double-rifles-english/charles-osborne-co-sxs-rifle-303-british.cfm?gun_id=103353187

Thank you @Killo totally forgot that bit. This one is set up for a right handed shooter with a right handed palm swell and a very, very slight cast for a right hander as well. Replacement stocks that are set up for a lefty or with upgraded wood are easy to come by for these. As are all parts...

Up for sale my Beretta 687 EELL Diamond Pigeon Sporting over/under shotgun chambered in 12 Gauge. Italian proofed and date coded to 2004. The barrels are 29.5” and are matte finished with 3” chambers. Features intricate engravings on the side plates as well as other parts of the receiver, all...

I think this thread has triggered some kind of 7x57 buying frenzy. Almost all the 7x57 on Midway has gone out of stock since this morning haha.
