You don't need the 338, that's overkill. And two rifles, is just more hassle. You never know what on your list you're going to come across so you will just carry one rifle anyways. If you really like your 7x57, I'd use that. It's really a perfect a plains game gun

Amen!

I still think it's the best value out there. It's hard to add the increase in air travel to it as that is outside the control of the hunting industry. Like other's have mention, I control the costs by limited taxidermy. Do mostly skull mounts and I am happy with it. I have a few painted to to...

I've hunted with Magnus at Rancheros twice. Myself, and the friends I hunted with, wouldn't ever consider anyone else. Period. Message me if you'd like to discuss my experiences.

I am a big proponent to bringing my own rifle. It's what I practice with and I find it improves my success. If you prepare, it's really not a hassle.

Might sound corny but I took a leather bound journal and wrote about each days experience. I reflect on it now and then and it's going to be something for my kids someday.

I use them as it's always a climate shock coming from the N. US to Africa. 100+ degrees and long stalks. I drink a ton of water but the supplements help

I travel with firearms several times per year. Never have I taken my bolt out. Other being asked if my firearms was loaded, one time I was asked to show the agent. In my pelican or any gun case I'm not really worried about damage to my rifle. As far as that goes, I pull all the foam out of my...

I think renting is all about avoiding hauling your rifle. Some wear and tear running through the bush but dropping it....that's on you. Should offer to buy another

At first I used a SA taxidermist for my Euro mounts but found they over bleached them and made them brittle. Subsequently I found a taxidermist that specializes in skull mounts. Much better quality.

I’ll take them
