Bought a german rifle that came with a bases for a German claw mount system. I'm looking to put a removable red dot on it for hunting, so I would like to find a claw mount set for a picatinny rail, but so far I have no leads. I did find one setup with only one contact point in the claw mounts...

Been looking around online, and I cannot find hardly any quad sticks in the US aside from Spartan and 4 Stable Sticks. Anyone use the 4 Stable or anything else? Looking for a set to practice and hunt with.

“Accidentally” won a Heym 22A combination gun (7x57r/16 gauge) last night on Gun Broker for cheap. Anyone have experience with the gun or cartridge? I’m assuming it performs no different than 7x57 Mauser, although the factory 173 grains are a little heavier than the 139s I’ve used in the past...

Okay, so I have heard of plenty of people using 9.3x62 for buffalo without complaints, but my outfitter said they don’t have good luck with hunters using 9.3s, but I could if I wanted to. I was considering getting a 9.3x74r and using Woodleighs or A-Frames. This was especially appealing because...

I live in the US, and I’m looking at a classic combination gun. Obviously, they check your gun’s stamps for the caliber when you’re checking it at customs. Has anyone ever had an issue with bringing one over to South Africa or subsequent issues with ammo being approved? My main concern is...

Okay, so this is a post I could not make on an American hunting forum, as I would be tarred and feathered, so I figured I would bring it here. I bought a .45-70, and I was curious about the efficacy of FMJ bullets on whitetail- or impala-sized game out to 100 yards. I understand that the...

Found a good deal on a 1940 German Mauser (still with the eagle stamp) that was sporterized and rechambered in .300 win mag. Looking to buy it and chamber it in 9.3x62. Reading around online and some people are saying it’s just as simple as buying a prefit barrel while others are acting like a...

Just got back from hunting with Koranna Mountain Safaris in the Free State. Wanted to provide this report as they are rarely talked about. I booked a hunt last year for gemsbok, cull animals, and bird hunting. It was planned to be my first trip over, but we ended up going to Limpopo last year...

I figured this would be a fun one… So I’m going on my third hunt in Africa in September 2026 with my parents along with several extended family members. I decided to use this opportunity to challenge myself in a new way. I live in a neighborhood where, for some unknown reason, people throw...

Going to ZA next year and I want to bring reloading components (cases and bullets only; no primers or powder) in addition to a tip for my PH in calibers they load. Has anyone ever put these in their checked bags from the US to the UK to ZA? Any issues forseen? I plan on calling all countries...

So I’m a giant planner when it comes to the big picture of hunts down the road. I have a 2024 trip booked to Limpopo for plains game and a 2025 trip to Free State for a mix of trophy and cull plains game, predators, and bird hunting. I would like to start looking at buffalo and dangerous game...

Hey all! I have been a reader for a while, so I’m finally joining. I live in Texas, but we’re moving back to Mississippi soon. I’m blessed to have a wife and job that allows me to spend weeks in the field every year hunting many species across America. I have finally booked my first and second...
