My shitty experience with Optics Planet. Ordered scope filled out signature required so I knew when it was delivered, sent to my son's address, somewhere in the order i missed something so when I went back and filled in missing item it reset order form to default address and no signature...

Looking for recommendations of places to stay, things to do, stay away from May/June timeframe. Places to eat etc. TIA

Oh I will book way in advance but I cant check June 27 for another 60 days, which I know June will be higher than May but may is reasonable so far.

Typically, Airlines allows you to book 270 days out. I personally have found better deals 180-270 days out.

I picked one up at local auction mine was IBM manufactured came with 8 magazines, bayonet, sling , manual and have the govt transfer paper and yes they were sold in 1964 i think for $20. Wild I owned the other variant that had the metal grille on topside but it was stolen in the 90's.

Well, I have been a devout Delta customer since SAA quit flying the JNB route several years ago just looking at June airfares as I am leaving June 2027 to get a ballpark of current rates.... YIKES, I know fuel has gone up but it hasn't doubled or tripled like the airfare has. I've always been...

I have a 270 WSM great round my opinion recoil will be less on 270 than 300 for sure only thing that scares me as I have been to Africa and suitcase with ammo did not arrive in JNB, so I hunted for 4 days no close no ammo. Never got the ammo due to it not being pulled out of suitcase as per SAPS...

I just picked up a Chapius 450/400 from George at Chamlpin few weeks ago he had 2 more in stock $15,300. Gun shoots really nice, sent it to JJ to get LOP fitted for me and machine rib for RMR red dot if I so choose to get one.

Damn

I have never owned a Trijicon Scope, so I am needing some advice from some that have them. Looking at a 1-6x24 to put on 416 Rigby but they use ambient light to illuminate. So, question is if sitting in Leopard blind at pitch dark will you still be able to, see? Yes, they do make them that have...

Well I have surpassed the John Wick category and only 1 safe queen as it is new in the box unfired Rem 1100 16ga. that my dad gave me, he also gifted me a 30 yr old unfired .357 pistol I took it out the next day and ran a box of shells through it to let the wife practice as she did not like the...

Have no experience yet with ELE but will next June, PH said 375 little to light so I will take 450/400 double and a 416 Rigby as a backup gun in the Matesi ESA area. Tic Toc tic toc.

Also note USPS Registered mail is handled hand to hand and must be kept in locked compartment at all times so its not just chunked on a conveyor. As well as has a higher level of insurance you can purchase, max out at $50,000. I am sending JJ a gun this week and will be using Registered mail and...

The way they did mine and my sons everything went on 1 license, and they labeled accordingly and I was #1 and he was #2 so when they came in, they had a tag and # written on back of mount in case tag was removed. If you did separate hunting license then I don't know as I have heard the same, but...

I saw a monster in Free State in 2018 we were hunting Roan and you could see his tusks from 250+ yds away he was a dandy wish we had time to locate him. My personal opinion COVID helped the pigs grow in EC as we saw many very nice ones when I went back in 2022.
