    What was the most challenging animal you've ever hunted?

    Leopard is my nemesis 0 for 2 now hopefully that will change in the next couple of years.

    Tinnitus driving me crazy

    As said above hearing aids helped mine as I can tell a big difference when wearing them.

    What scope for a 416 Remington Mag

    I have a VX6 1X6 on my 416 but I don't shoot at 250 yards that said if you're shooting that far the 2x10 would be better.

    The “Three Days Rule” for outfitters, guides, PH’s

    I guess I've been lucky as everyone I've contacted responded quickly. I have booked two hunts through Mark Young and he always answers or calls right back.

    First Safari - What would you do different?

    I think the number one thing a person should do is book with the most reputable and trusted company within your budget. My first safari was a shit show the second was a little better but the third one with Johnnie Duplooy was what a safari should be.

    Quest for the ultimate Dagga Boy

    For an old scrum cap bull I think Uganda is the place to go. Look at safari classics videos on youtube and there are some hunts in that area on there.

    Best flashlight thread (or, "torch" if you are from Southern Africa)

    Another vote for fenix I've had mine 4 or 5 years and still holds a charge for a very long time. It is small and I think is around 3000 lumens on the high setting.

    Blaser R8 Grade 9 wood, lightly used, threaded, with Swarovski scope

    Dogcat is great to deal with as we have had a few deals......his 8x30 binos are killing me but I don't think I need them....lol

    Advise On 9.3x62 Mauser

    It looks like a very well done rifle on the pattern of a Mauser African model.

    Just brain storming....450/400 for AK Brown Bear

    At the cost of a brown bear hunt today I don't think I would hamper myself with a short range caliber as it could turn into a $30k lesson.

    What knife are you carrying everyday right now?

    I've had this assisted opening Benchmade in my pocket for over ten years now and like it better everyday.

    Sunglasses for hunting

    I still wear my 40 year old Ray-bans with glass lenses.

    Classic plains game rifles and cartridges

    I would also consider a used Dakota in the calibers mentioned. A good used example can be found at about the top of your budget.
