I am excited about going to and hunting Spain. I first got interested in Spain because of a post by @Just Gina and @ActionBob. I chatted with Gina about their hunt and was encouraged to go. I am doing a Roe Deer hunt and a representative Ibex hunt. Bob probably will not surprise me with an...

I have a Blaser R8 Classic Sporter Stock that has several cracks that run all the way through the wood. You cannot see it in a picture but one is the ebony end cap, one in the forearm. I don't want to sell it because it was damaged. It was damaged by UPS and they never paid for the damage. I...

I am curious about the AH community's thoughts about SCI Awards. I have never had an animal scored or cared about awards, but my adult children are interested in them as a legacy. I qualify or will soon qualify for the world hunting awards: Animals of South Pacific, Spiral Horned Antelope of...

Background to stock: UPS damaged the stock in shipping to an AH member. The stock was believed to be cracked and checkering flattened. But when I got the stock back it only had very slight damage. I took it to my stock builder who said it was not cracked but had a small chip in the ebony end...

Does anyone have experience using a Trijicon RMR or RCR mounted to the side or top of a scope? Will it work on a 375 H&H as an all-around dangerous game/plains game/Elephant/Hippo/Bison/Buffalo/Brown Bear/Moose rifle? Which mounting method would you prefer or is this a bad idea? I would prefer...

I was wondering how durable a giraffe rug would be on the floor. If giraffe hides stand-up to moderate traffic for 20 years, then I will do a rug. If they will not hold up then I will make a couple chairs with buffalo cushions and bags/gun cases with the left-over hide. I have a new trophy...

I have been to South Africa 3 times. It is time to adventure out some. I am looking to do a plains game hunt on a budget. Is it possible to do a 7 to 10 day hunt in either country on a $10,000 to $15,000 hunt budget, not including flights or expenses. I am looking at plains game like...

I'm still in South Africa for another week in Sabi Sands. I just finished my hunt with Limpopo Big Game Safaris. We hunted from early morning till dark, ate dinner, and returned to the bush for night hunts. I will write a report when I return but here are some of the photos. We did well for 6 days!

I am primarily going to Limpopo for night critters. I will hunt a couple days of Klipspringer and Duiker. I am flying Delta in the bulkhead. I have a carry-on and a small camera backpack and my wife has a carry-on and a small camera backpack. We are using the PHs rifles because of night...

Trying to decide on my next hunting trip (probably 2025). South Africa- 3 trips (going to SA in August 2023 for night hunting) & New Zealand 2 Trips. I am thinking about Alaska for Moose/Brown Bear. But it is really expensive compared to other hunts. I would love to hunt Zambia but again...

Finally settled on target animals. With my last post, several people suggested additions and attractions. I consulted my guide , added a few animals, and deleted a few. Here is my final list: TINY TEN (I have a Steenbuck and Red Duiker) Duiker Grysbok Klipspringer NIGHT HUNT Civet (Priority)...

Headed to hunt with Limpopo Big Game Safaris. I have narrowed my list to: Night Hunting Civet, Honey badger, Genet, Caracal, Serval, Jackal (probable should add spotted hyena but did not tell the guide to add, wondering how likely to see) Day Time Warthog, Duiker, Klipspringer, Lechwe (had...

Where can I hunt in Europe in December that has great Christmas markets?

I have sold all my Blaser R8's. I am a 6'2" long necked guy that hates shooting a 13.25" LOP rifle. So, I am custom building all my rifles to fit with exhibition grade walnut at 14.75" lop. I overpaid for the complete Pre-War action at $1450 but I could not find what I wanted. So far, I have...

I sold an R8 stock on AH a month or more ago. The stock was damaged in shipment by UPS. They are so difficult to work with and getting claim filed, rifle evaluated for damage, and claim paid. The stock is a Blaser R8 classic which is impossible to find. They want to have the cracked stock...

I am headed to Africa next August for night hunts and more of the tiny ten. But I will be looking at the Dallas Safari Club Convention for my next hunt. What are you looking for next? I am looking at Australia, Spain, Turkey, Romania, Alaska, Mexico, and western USA. I have a $10,000 budget...

I will be hunting in Limpopo for 10 days. Any suggestions for attractions within a few hours of Louis Trichardt for my wife. Any must sees. I know it is not a tourist area. What would there be for her to do besides hunt?

Going on hunt in Limpopo for 10 days for a few of the tiny ten and night creatures. This will be my 3rd trip to Africa. Also spending 5 days Zambia, Victoria Falls. Would love to hunt a few days for Kufue Lechwe near the falls. I am looking for just the Kufue Lechwe on a budget. Any suggestions...

Want to trade my Khales K525i (5x25x56) or my Khales K318i (3.5x18x50) (paid $3300 each) both have been mounted on Blaser R8 but never hunted. for Swarovski Z8i 1x8x24 or Z8i 0.75x60x20 (would consider Z6i with money or other trade but must include a scope before I would be interested) or...

I am building a 300WSM M70 with custom wood stock and Lijia barrel. All complete except I cannot find a steel two piece trigger guard. I have an aluminum but I want steel. Does anybody have one that they will sell or trade? PM me with price, questions, or where one is in stock.

I hunted Red Stag and Fallow in. 2019. This time I hunted Tahr and Chamois (South Island (Geraldine Area), and Rusa (North Island). I shot a second Rusa much larger but my guide has not forwarded pics yet. I am still in New Zealand on Holiday for another week. What a trip. It was extremely cold...

Here are a couple pics of my Elk from last year.

Please post your hunt report if you are going to New Zealand in 2022. I will hunt in mid July for Tahr. I am hoping someone is going in April - June this year and can report issues or successes. If you are going to New Zealand before me please send me a PM or post on this thread. I am...

I was wondering and tried to Google why some people add greenery to antler horns or in the animals mouth during trophy photos? I see it in some African and European hunts.

My PH says that New Zealand is reopening by first of May, 2022 (ahead of schedule). We are scheduled to hunt July 4-9, 2022 or 2023. I cannot decided whether to go in a few months or next year. I am scheduled for a Rusa hunt on the North Island and a Tahr hunt on the South Island. This is...

So, I have a Blaser R8 with a factory 300 Win Mag Barrel (shortened to 23") that I was going to use on a recent bear hunt. I bought the Winchester Magnum 180 Grain Nosler AccuBonds because of past hunting history with the factory round. It grouped poorly at 100 yards at around 2" with an...

My wife and I are heading to Fairbanks September 11 for a couple weeks. I want to hunt. I don't care about fishing but would love to spend a few days on a caribou or brown/grizzly bear hunt. I have not experience with self guided hunts in wilderness areas. I usually go with a guide. Now to...

I just got back from Northern Idaho bear hunt in the middle of farm land. There are some giant black bear in the deep canyons in the middle of Idaho farm land. The first hour of the hunt we had two bears come in at 300 and 400+ yards. An average sized cinnamon bear for the area came to bait...

I am thinking about a hunt for 2022 or 2023. These are my top choices. What would you choose? I will pick the country based on budget (hunt cost only $20,000 not including flights, tips, etc.) and availability. I have been to South Africa two times with many plains game and one cape...

I bought a new Blaser R8 Standard Professional stock & receiver a month ago. I got a great price with a bolt group for $2,200. I found two barrels on AH in 300WM and 6.5CM for a bargain, less than $1000 each. I have added Swarovski Z5 2.4-12x50 Ballistic Turret to both barrels with Blaser...

I have used Lilja blanks on several custom rifles in several calibers. I am interested in getting a Lilija blank for my Blaser. I am told that Lilija cuts the shank for the bolt and the gunsmith will have to cut the chamber for the caliber. Does Lilija cut the locking recess behind the...

Travel + Leisure (Online Article): The thought that the island nation will remain closed off for the bulk of 2021 was jarring, but Ardern explained it with scientific-backed reasoning. "For travel to restart, we need one of two things: we either need the confidence that being vaccinated means...

I am thinking about trying to set-up my standard Blaser stock (ST- standard caliber bolt) as a travel rifle. Which 3 or 4 barrels would you suggest for all types of hunts. I have been thinking about using only a standard caliber bolt! 1. 22-250 for night hunting and tiny ten. (prefer 223 but...

I want to trade or sell a 30-06 Blaser R8 Magazine for a 6.5 CM or 308 Win magazine. Will sell magazine for $100 plus shipping.

Need help buying a donor rifle for 404 Jeffery later today! I want to buy locally (Dallas area) but I cannot make up my mind. Here are my choices? These are the prices on the guns but will probably get the rifles for a few hundred dollars less than marked. I prefer wood. New CZ 550 375 H&H...

The questions I have now since I have booked an African Hunt for May 2022: 1. Will there be any new pandemics in 2022? (I have had 2 hunts canceled do to Covid-19 in New Zealand & Idaho) 2. Where to hunt? (My guide hunts Limpopo in South Africa, hunted 2 times but also Mozambique, Namibia...
