    500 NE Range Day

    I had my 500 Verney at the range today checking loads. All shots were off of sticks and fired in fairly rapid pairs. Range was 25 yards. I'm quite pleased that it's shooting well with the A-Frames and Nosler Solids as both are great loads.

    Qatar Airways

    Has anyone flown it from The USA to JRO (Kilimanjaro)? I've done the Delta/ KLM route through Amsterdam and don't love the way it's broken up. Would prefer longer first leg for more sleep. The only other option is this Qatar flight. I know a lot of people use the Dubai one to Dar but haven't...

    First Double Rifle

    Oh happy day. I've been wanting a double for basically my whole life. I've always prioritized safaris over the rifle but finally got to a point where I could afford to take the plunge. I bought this Verney Carron 500NE today. I also got a chance to take it on the range and shot about 20...

    375 Ruger 250grain GMX

    Howdy all, I know people on here like crapping on Hornady bullets, but I never hear much about the GMX. I am looking at the 250gr. GMX in 375 Ruger as a pretty darn good all-around plains game setup. Does anyone have any field experience with it that they can share? It looks comparable to a...

    458 Lott Nosler Solids

    I'm planning to use them on my upcoming elephant hunt and was wondering if anyone has any experiences to share? The design looks dynamite and my rifle lays them in one hole, but looking for practical and personal experiences. Thanks all.

    SAA Business Class JFK to JHB

    Has anyone flown this route lately? I'm looking for a run down on how the flight is. Seat comfort? Plugs available? Entertainment Quality? Amenity Kit (do I need a tooth brush etc?) Thanks all!

    Pelican Case vs. Kalispell

    Okay folks. I am headed to Namibia in April and taking two rifles (458 Lott and 338 WM). I would normally use my Kalispell aluminum case for the trip, but I am thinking of getting a pelican. It looks like, with the custom foam etc., it might protect better on a series of flights and...

    Elephant hunt in the Caprivi

    All, I am thinking about booking a trophy bull elephant hunt with Ndumo Safaris in the Caprivi. Does anyone have any experience there as far as numbers and quality? I am trying to decide between the trophy hunt and a non-exportable bull and looking for info on potential quality on the trophy...

    Bullet Selection for Leopard and Crocodile

    Gentlemen, I am headed to Namibia next year. In addition to elephant and buffalo (for which which I will be using a 458 Lott), I have leopard and croc on license and hope to take both. I plan to use a 338 win mag for my light rifle for these guys. I am trying to select a bullet that is soft...
