    Flying Atlanta to Cape Town

    We are looking at doing this for our trip in 2025, curious to hear more on the rifle process as well

    Average Shot Range in East Cape SA

    I would plan on being proficient out to 300-400 yards, I took some long pokes out to 260 with my 375, I will be going with a 200 yard zero next time. I wouldn’t cut the rifle to run the can, it’s not going to matter if it looks like a flag pole.

    Optics thoughts, Leica vs Leupold

    I have been underwhelmed with my Leica trinovid Bino purchase for what this is worth. I know it is there lower end but have always bought optics in that class from zeiss and leupold and truly find myself grabbing my vortex more often than not as the handling is superior. Go figure

    Gaiters or blousing garters?

    I wore full length gaiters from cabelas and treated them heavily with Sawyers, I’ve had lyme’s disease and do not want tick bite fever. They do make it easier to stomp through low mountain brush as well

    New custom rifle questions

    I hope so too, we have plenty of time to work out the kinks, he could’ve scored an entry level blazer for the price.

    The eastern cape, he will be running a can on the end so hopefully the recoil will be manageable

    New custom rifle questions

    The fact that vortex has the silly bell on the end tells you it’s not intended to be on an action as long as a 375

    New custom rifle questions

    The detachable magazine is scraping the side of the casing for the shells to the point there’s a noticable groove along the entire side of them, it’s occurring as they get picked up from the clip

    New custom rifle questions

    Fierce 375hh rifle just arrived for my dad for our buff trip next summer. I am looking for feedback on the scope mount, I didn’t pick it, I think it crowds the action too much. I also cycled a few rounds and the action is not that smooth, there is also a very clear shearing effect on the...

    Threats to Hunting

    I’m actually really encouraged lately… I think Joe Rogan has brought a ton of good attention to hunting and I find a lot of his non-hunting listeners have + attitudes about what it is that we do. Need more celebrity voices like him that don’t care about backlash from the uninformed. The health...

    Shoulder vs Euro Mount

    I have never regret a euro mount, I think they are equally cool, I probably end up doing 50/50 across the board. If it is something really wild I usually go shoulder or full body. I think the tiny 10 all look cool as full body mounts. My klipsringer is a show stopper in my trophy room. Most...
