    Eland, is the .308 Winchester enough gun?

    I've taken one with a 7mm Mag and the other with a 30-06 (partition bullets both times). Both one shot kills and furthest went 40yds. I think you'd be fine with anything .270 and larger.

    Nice! I think your 500 is a few inches longer than this 460.

    For Sale 460 S&W Revolver $2,200

    Never fired. I will cover shipping in lower 48. Im prepping for a hunt next year and need a new Swaro. Hemmoraged enough cash at this point, if you know what i mean. Added the one photo of the revolvers just for size comparison. That is a 357, 44 mag, then the 460.

    List of required questions for negative hunt reports

    Also agree. I had a very unpleasant hunt with one of this site's sponsors recently. I have nothing to gain by posting a negative report and sure as shit don't want to run through the interrogation process of posting a bad report on a sponsor.

    Clearing Customs in Atlanta

    Just came through ATL on Saturday with rifle. Wife made it through non-Global Entry faster than I could go through Global Entry...not as beneficial as it once was (both through in ~10 min). Took about 20 minutes total to clear rifle and I was 3rd in line.

    Dangerous Snakes of Southern Africa - Snakes & Snake Bite

    Let's say I walk up on a mamba or Cobra and scare it to death (theoretically). Can I import that back to the US? Am I crazy for wanting a stuffed Cobra in my collection?

    Which Gun Would You Choose?

    Absolutely agree! Flat shooting and will handle anything they'll let you pull the trigger on.

    Why are Weatherby guns in 375+ calibers not liked on a Safari?

    Velo Dog, I believe you are referencing the .375 Weatherby Mag calibers and up. While the .340 and smaller do pack a punch, they kick no harder that comparable Mag calibers of the same size. I own Weatherby's in .300, .340, and .375. I shoot a Sako in .300Wby for almost all my needs and the...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Rance Safaris Hunt Report

    DAY 8: Last day of my hunt. I was feeling good enough to move around and with many doses of different kinds of pain meds (not a clue what they were) I could handle a truck ride...going very slow. Only drove around in late morning and headed back for lunch and another healthy dose of meds...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Rance Safaris Hunt Report

    DAY 4: Woke up feeling like crap and hoping I wasn't coming down with the flu that was going around. Took some meds and headed out that morning after some Impala. Wind was quite heavy that morning. Hoped we could use it in our favor but the females were just too quick and we couldn't get in...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Rance Safaris Hunt Report

    After the morning Eland we decided to look for warthog to keep us busy until we went back out for Nyala that evening. This one was cut and dry...quick walk to a waterhole and dropped the unsuspecting resident. This one was for the butchery (not a trophy) but turned out to be unique because...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Rance Safaris Hunt Report

    Accommodations were at the Sweetlands Farm Lodge. A cozy establishment that was set up with the comforts of a family hunting lodge rather than a 5 star hotel. Exactly what I was looking for...comfortable bed, good food, and a fire pit outback for evening drinks. DAY 1: At this point I...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Rance Safaris Hunt Report

    I had been planning a hunt in conjunction with a business trip for the June 2015 timeframe, and it really did not come together completely until a month or so before I left the US. My final agenda ended up consisting of a hunt on a friends farm for a couple of days in Natal, then down to the...

    Delta ban on Trophies

    I also just sent them a lovely email. Too bad Americans don't have a choice that is much better than Delta to fly with. If we could only get Alaska Airlines to fly direct to South Africa...hmmm. Also posted to their facebook message board and it only too ~15min for a PETA troll to respond to it.

    Traveling with reloading components to Africa

    Warbird782 - Good stuff. Couple of questions...Did you need to declare them at the US airport when you left or at the SA airport when you arrived? I assume you just threw them in with one of your check-in bags?

    Traveling with reloading components to Africa

    Had a request from a friend to bring some nosler partition bullets (not ammunition, just the bullet) with me on my next trip to Africa. Does anyone know if I can bring a couple hundred bullets over in my check bags without dealing with a bunch of governmental bullshit?

    .378 Weatherby

    Good question. I'm selling this for a good friend who has had this in his collection for a few years and has never shot it. He is 60+ yrs old and I explained to him the punch that my .378 has (which is also ported). I think I scared him a bit, so he is selling this one to purchase one in the...

    .378 Weatherby

    No. The 378 is a horse. Muzzle energy up around the 470 NE level! Weatherby's pack a punch and the .378 is essentially a necked down .460 Weatherby version. 300 win mag I would venture to say has half the muzzle energy.
