    Looking for Elk hunt advise

    The whole process of getting a tag is pretty involved so I would want to work with an outfitter who could either take care of that aspect of the hunt or be willing to walk me through it I figured a guided hunt would run 5k each plus tags Would not want a fenced hunt As far as lodging I’m not...

    Great prices from a great outfitter! They will treat you great and make sure you have a good time. I brought my family to hunt the Eastern Cape with Marius and the crew and we all have wonderful memories for sure. I would jump on the Bontebok a very handsome animal.

    Soooo you got a new President...

    I think the biggest danger is suffering permanent hearing loss from the high pitched liberal whining. I celebrated the inauguration by purchasing another Remington 700 in 35 Whelen While Trump is far from perfect he is far less imperfect than HRC and hopefully we will see some push back on the...

    Which reticle for a VX-R

    I have a Remington 700 in 375 HH with a VX-R on it and I went with a firedot duplex.I sighted it in 2.5 inches high at 100 yds and shot animals out to 250 with no problem.Keep It Simple Sammy-worked for me. I will also tell you that I have one pin on my bow.

    Savage Model 24 Combination Rifle

    I killed many rabbits and squirrels with my older brothers 410 22lr.A friend of mine found one just like it which now belongs to my son. I think a 30 30 in a 24 is not very common,I would buy it in a heartbeat if it is in decent condition. Some people don't like the looks of them but they...

    Scope For Leopard Hunt

    After careful consideration I have pulled the trigger on the Leica ERi 2.5-10 42. I am not sure if there is a bad scope in this price point.At a grand I think it should be a good value,Im not sure why they are so heavily discounted but so be it. Thanks for all the advice it was a fun...

    Ruger No.1 .300 H&H Cabelas Comm.

    I actually like that reticle with the circl,e I use it as a peep sight.If I am target shooting at a round target I adjust the power until the circle part of the reticle is just a bit larger than the target.That way you will have a circle around a circle and you don't even need to look at the...

    Range Report for NEW TO ME .375 H&H Magnum

    Looks like you have a winner Scott. Now that you are on paper its time to move to the sticks for the sake of your shoulder . I use a Past recoil harness which helps if you are going to shoot a lot of rounds. Good luck with it!

    Ruger No.1 .300 H&H Cabelas Comm.

    Super nice gun in a great caliber.I picked one up in 243 for my son to shoot.I think it happens to be a great gun for youth shooters as well.It is a" must own " in my mind. I will echo enysse's opinion on the Redfield scope though.I bought one and it was fine picked up another and is blurry at...

    Remington 700 375 H&H

    Good for you Scott. I like my .375 for a deer gun.I use 235 softpoints. My only complaint is that it is a bit loud. Enjoy your 700.

    Scope For Leopard Hunt

    It looks like everyone agrees that a illuminated center dot is desireable as we can assume it will be either a low light situation or a case where a spotlight will be used and fast target acquisition will be necessary. The whole exit pupil thing is a bit confusing and I think I need to study it...

    First Hunting Safari booked!

    You will have a great time with Marius and his crew. You might want to practice shooting off sticks.I took most shots either sitting or kneeling off sticks due to the low brush which does not allow much in the way of standing shots. Marius has a bipod set of sticks which he prefers for some...

    Scope For Leopard Hunt

    I have heard good things about the 56 mm Trijicon for low light conditions.It seems like a good choice for a specific type of use. "Horses for courses" as they say

    What is the Perfect Plains Game rifle? and what is too much?

    I used a Remington 700 in .375 Holland and Holland. Zebra Waterbuck Kudu and Impala with one bullet a piece so I was pleased with it.My trip to Africa gave me an excellent excuse to buy it and I tend to like tradition so the H&H was an easy choice.Scope was Leupold VX-R 3-9 with Firedot.

    Scope For Leopard Hunt
