This is the continuation of an unfinished project on an earlier thread. Now I feel I can finally put this hunt to rest. I started and left this hunting report unfinished for a number of years due to personal challenges that make up a different story altogether. My adventures since have been...

It has been two and one half months since my return from the trip of my life. I told my mother when I was nine years old that I was going hunting in Africa when I grew up. My grandmother made me a leopard print band for my black cowboy hat. For the next few years, I stalked my brother's cat...

Here are some of my treasures up for sale to help fund my next safari. If interested, let me know fast as they will be going to auction in a week. 1) Custom John Coulter 375 H&H magnum built on renown and highly sought after Sako A5 action, case colored 3/4 rib rear sight, flip up Holland...

Ok, I learned a lot from you folks on a similar post regarding 300 WM for plains game. I will also be hunting buffalo this fall in SA. I am bringing a customized CZ 550 458 Lott. The stock is designed very well and the rifle is fairly heavy so recoil with 500 grain factory ammunition is...

I am hunting plains game this fall in Limpopo, SA. I plant to hunt kudu, blue wildebeest, waterbuck, zebra and impala. I am leaning toward taking my 300WM, but it does not shoot 180s well. It shoots 165 grain Barnes TSX and Nosler Partitions well. It also likes Nosler Accubond 200 grain...

Hello, I took the complete firing assembly and safety off of a CZ 550 in order to glass bed the barrel and action without the risk of running epoxy into any cranny I wanted to protect. The problem is, this is a complicated bugger and I am having difficulty putting all the parts, springs and...

I just purchased a custom CZ 458 Lott. Seems a little short. A gunsmith says I have a 14'1/2 LOP and it needs to be a bit longer but I have always shot factory length rifles with no problem. I am not a big guy, I just have longer arms. I have heard proper fit is critical in the big boys, so...

After months of research I have sorted down to Ernest Dyason and Chris Troskie of Spear and CT Safaris, respectively for our first Cape Buffalo and plains game hunt in SA. It will be an approximately 10 day trip. Both men and outfits are members of the forum and both have impeccable...

I am researching my first African hunt. I have noticed that many animals are taken very near or even at water troughs in many African hunting videos and photographs. Is this customary in most areas? Is it possible to successfully find, stalk and shoot african game without such practices...

I am planning my first hunt in Africa. We are trying to get it done by next summer 2016. My friend will be joining me and possibly, our wives. This will be our first hunt in Africa although we are both experienced hunters. We have extensively looked at South Africa (fences) and Namibia...

I am looking to acquire a 375 Holland & Holland bolt action rifle for dangerous game hunting in Africa and bears here in North America. I have an opportunity to buy a really wonderful custom rifle built on a Sako action. This thing has got everything I have dreamed of: quarter rib, flip up...

I am interested in purchasing a slightly used high quality european scope in good condition. 30mm tube, 40-44mm objective, variable zoom. Zeiss, Swarovski, Schmidt/Bender etc. Prefer plex style reticles. Thank you, Michael Harrison

Greetings, members. I was referred to this site because I am in the early stages of planning my first hunt in Africa in June-August 2017. I am not yet certain what country to go to or species to shoot. My dreams include a lion, buffalo, kudu, sable, gemsbok and wildebeest. I don't think I...
