It’s all fun but there is a difference between wilderness and ranches. It was summed up quite well by MarkB on a previous post. Wild country is usually more expensive and there are more unknown variables but if the ph has hunted the area a while they do still kinda know where animals hang out...

Spend as much as you can afford for the upgrades. The fact that you've had a level 3 fusion and you're still going over there blows my mind. I'm 3 months into recovery from a bad L4-L5 ruptured disk microdiscectomy and I figure I may have a couple safaris left, the plane ride was low on the...

ParkWEST would be a good way to go, otherwise you're going to spend 50k or more and wait 2-3 years. Life is too short unless you are curating collector items for the future or family heirlooms. Every example I've seen of Duane Weibe takedown system is beyond excellence and he actually did it...

We saw at least 6-8 mid 50" kudu bulls in Namibia on an 8 day hunt with Burchell Wolf in Sept of 25. I would say you could be successful there. Be aware, its rough country and tough walking. If I hadn't already put 3- 54.5-57" bulls on the wall over the course of the last 15 years I would...

I wouldn’t bother

That's a nice example of a 350, it appears un messed with. I think brass and dies is going to be the hard part there.

His stock work is on par with anyone anywhere. It looks like they used koenig rear sight, bad ass stuff.

I've been working in this gun industry for decades, the entire market is struggling to find a way to sell sporting rifles and stay profitable. The trend lately is maximum performance from a small lightweight package, long bullets with different twist rates, shorter barrel for suppression, techy...

All good info here so far. I am looking into the same thing and the few guys I've talked to don't really have any interest in working with my parameters. For example. I don't care where the hunt is because I don't want to pay for any ivory or ship anything back, I would like to shoot an old...

I could see that point of view, I used to be that guy, at one time I had about 20 rifles for personal use, I'm not a collector. My mindset is just where I ended up after being over there 5 times, mostly wilderness hunts, dealt with coming up on lions at close range, surprised by elephants, and...

Buy a pre64 M70 in 375 HH and go kill everything you can afford. I may be of a different mindset than many, I don't like having 40 rifles laying around. A 375 does everything well, they aren't big and heavy as some would have you believe, and the versatility between 270 gr and 350 gr takes...

I carry a pharmacy when traveling, zpac, pain pills, anti inflammatory, anti scoots, muscle relaxers, eye drops, lip balm, etc. I think the med kit that’s being advertised on Fox lately would be the whole packet right in your luggage

I’m done doing business with swift, clearly they don’t know how to run a company. Barnes TSX, used on over 40 head so far never a single problem with performance. And if a guy wants something else why not go with north fork, at least that guy is trying to supply the demand and he’s in...

Mendoza is a guy you can see making it in the NFL for sure. The kids got a great head on his shoulders and knows how he needs to play with his skillset to win. Add to that his teammates seem to love and respect him,....the sign of a real leader.
