    Gaborone

    Curious if there is anywhere within a couple hours of Gaborone where I could do a one day hunt (picked up in Gaborone that morning and back that night or maybe back the next day mid day.) I will be there for work but don’t have much time to spare.

    No frills double

    I don’t know much about double rifles other than I want to own one at some point in my life. I want a no frills, not fancy, working man’s double. I know they are still pricey but I don’t want to pay for anything ornamental. I am unsure on a caliber but it will compliment a 375 ruger and 458...

    Charging buffalo target

    I have seen photos from the gun site academy as well as some PH training in Africa of buffalo targets that are rigged up on a pulley system to simulate a charge. Has anyone here made one or see one well enough to know what would be needed to make one?

    Custom work

    If you had a Winchester m70 or ruger Hawkeye and wanted to have it rebarreled and express sights installed or have the front sight moved back and barrel shortened and threaded where would you send it? Has anyone done this? Have a cost estimate?

I was planning to get the Alaskan version and replace the stock and have it cerakoted then I found out they use a super...

    Things to do in Gaborone

    Hello everyone, I’ll be in Gaborone for work, fairly short trip and it will be busy without a lot of down time. Just curious if any of you have any restaurant recommendations, things of interest to see (particularly for a hunter even though this isn’t a hunting trip), areas to avoid. Really...

    375 ruger or 416 ruger?

    I am debating between the 375 and 416 ruger cartridge. Either one will be in a ruger Alaskan rifle that I will do a stock upgrade one. Whichever I choose will be paired with a 7mm PRC. The use case for the big bore will be to Hunt Cape buffalo, American Bison and maybe coastal brown bear in...

    Red Stag in Argentina

    Just thought I would share some photos from my first hunting trip abroad. This was June 2023. My brother in law, best friend and I went to Estancia el Carrizal in La Pampa for a stag hunt. I can’t say enough good things about the lodge and would highly recommend them.
