So i am less than 30 days out from my lion hunt and the scope on my 375 has failed. It is a Swarovski 2.5 x 10 illuminated reticle. The reticle is crooked inside. I kept loosening the scope and squaring the crosshairs after a few shots until I noticed that the turrets were almost sideways...

A good friend has an opportunity to pick up a large concession that is coming available in Zimbabwe and is trying to put together an investment group. It is a bit much for me to tackle all by myself and I was wondering if anyone on here had any interest in getting involved. I have been on the...

I happy to report that I now have put 5 boxes of hornady 400 gr DGX through my sabatti 450/400 and it is performing well. I have mounted a swarovski z6 1x6 on it and have zeroed at 35 yards. The LR spread appears to be consistly and inch and under. At 50 yards I put three consecutive right...

Has anybody got a left over wild lion for 2011 they are ready to sell at a discount to a poor hunter trying to finish his big five? No fences please. Thanks.

I have looked at the hornady DGS which they say is a solid but it isn't technically a solid. Anyone used these on elephant? Looking for some feedback on the performance

Ive been looking at the spring Kamchatka bear hunts for a few years and would like to go but the outfits really have no room for an observer. This means that my usual suspects that I drag along to Africa as observers are unable to go. I would like to find another US hunter to go with. You...

I am really interested in going to Zimbabwe for 2010 but am really worried about the conditions there. Did anyone on here go in 2009? Is it safe to land in Harare or Bulawayo and travel to the hunting area? If you read the US state department website it sounds like a war zone. No offense to...

I have been approached by a semi-close friend who is trying to sell a custom .375 HH for an old lady whose husband has died. She is also selling some ammo and a small elephant tusk. (I guess the same will happen to all of us one day!!) Anyway, the gun has no markings except "375 HH Ed Chahir"...
