I have been Diamond/Platinum on Delta forever so it was natural for me to fly them to RSA on the well traveled Flight 200/201 out of Atlanta. They are about as gun friendly as a airline gets, especially since my jumping off point is conservative, small airport Grand Rapids MI. People here have...

MRC 416 Rem Mag dying for someone to take it home and kill a Cape Buffalo with it. . The gun has a laminated stock with Pachmayr Decelerator pad, fiber optic front sight, QD bases and rings and the barrel/action is teflon coated. The person got it from swore it had never been fired, that he...

So last summer (July 2022), I took my first Cape Buffalo hunting with Marius of @KMG Hunting Safaris. We took a ancient bull with just minutes of shooting light left after a couple exciting stalks on him. One shot kill through the lungs with my .375 H&H but he ran about 100 yards down into...

I took it off a 1952 Rifle when I used the action for a custom build. No rust, no pitting, bore and rifling looks good. One scuff in bluing on barrel, blue by muzzle is a little worn Hope somebody can use it. $45 shipped to Lower 48

This .416 Rem Mag followed me home today. I already have a Win 70 Safari Express .416 but I just couldn’t leave this gun sitting unloved like an abandoned puppy. It was whining for me to take it home and kill a Cape Buffalo with it. The gun had a custom laminated stock with Pachmayr...

I used to use Bachelders in Grand Rapids (where I live) but since Brad died the service has taken a hit and honestly I am not sure the people are up to the quality he gave me. Who would you take a rifle to if you wanted the action blueprinted and a front site bead replaced (do they even do...

Was reading about the 2 PH's that died hunting. They were all over the place before that. Did the anti-hunters run them off? It seems that this forum played a part in getting them in the crosshairs of the liberal lunatics and they were under attack. After the second PH died, Buzzfeed did a...

But the best you can do until your next trip is load up your coffee with Amarula…. Damn I can’t wait to hunt with @KMG Hunting Safaris again!

Day 1 My son Derek and I were successful on our DIY Pronghorn in NW Colorado. Derek had never hunted anything but whitetail. It was his first western hunt, so I was semi-guiding him and then hunting myself assuming he tagged out. The area we drew is not known for many Booners so we were just...

Sold a rifle Went to UPS to ship it to the FFL which was in fact the buyer UPS said “no can-do” Said that as of the end of August only FFL’s can ship rifles????? Is this a UPS thing or is this a ATF thing??? I am blown away as I have shipped dozens of rifles legally in the past. Always...

Picked up a rifle. The stock has a major dent about 1 1/4 in front of the bottom metal as can be seen in the pic below. Can something like this be fixed or do I just live with it. I mean, it's a hunting gun not a piece of art. It is a tool, but if I can have it fixed/repeaired for a...

10) John always wanted to be a Cowboy growing up and did in fact buy a horse and did a stint competing in rodeo's in the U.S in the late 1989/1990. It was a short career change...kind of like when Michael Jordan left the NBA and tried Minor League Baseball. Luckily for hundreds of hunters John...

For sale Zeiss Diavari-C 3x9 36MM Made in Wset Germany Took it off my Colt Sauer .270 Excellent condition. Bright and clear. Can see where the rings were but that is it as far as "blemishes" Rubber eye piece is nice for if you put it on hard kicking guns and the objective bell is...

Is there somebody in the US that does this kind of stuff? I would love to pimp out my Win 70 Safari Express like this but have no clue who to ask. Thanks

Dumb question probably. Wondering if you can safely load 41 Mag Handgun Bullets @ .410 diameter in .416 Brass to make practice loads? Wanting to make some low recoil practice loads for shooting at 25 yards - 75 yards. Only need to be getting MOPP accuracy (Minute Of a Paper Plate) for what I...

Last trip with Marius we were walking down a dirt road on our way to a spot to find some warthog when this Jackal stepped out of the bush 50 yards in front of us and froze in middle of the road when he saw us. Wrong place, wrong time for him. I had my .300 Wby in my hands, pulled it up...

Took this Bushbuck with KMG We were looking at a Nyala on a far ridge trying to decide if he was “the one” when we noticed this guy 30 yards away in a opening in the bush. One look and Marius said “Shoot that Bushbuck!” So I did

My wife Toni and I like anded in Jburg last evening (13th) for my second Safari with Marius at KMG and checked into the City Lodge hotel at the airport. Adele from Hunters Permits Africa took care of us from the moment we landed. VIP express thru customs and rifle permit in hand, she and her...

I want to hunt a Cape Buffalo. I own a .375 H&H Safari Express Win Model 70 (Controlled Feed) Do I need to buy a bigger caliber to hunt Cape Buffalo? I know the .375 is the minimum for dangerous game in many places, but is the minimum enough? Thanks

I want to hunt Elk in Utah next fall or in 2014 since I have never hunted that state. I know lots of good hunting outfitters in other states but know nobody in Utah. Looking for suggestions from somebody that has hunted Elk in Utah with an outfitter they really liked. Thanks in advance.

Who have you used that you would give a "Thumbs Up" to and use again. Thanks

If not what is the lightest caliber you would consider in a non magnum rifle?

any life outside of hunting???;)

Well, we just got back from my second hunt in Africa. First trip was to Namibia in 2000 where I shot Mountain Zebra, Kudu, Eland, Gemsbok, Hartebeest, Impala, Springbok & Steenbok. This trip my target species were Nyala, Bushbuck, Blue Wildebeest, Blesbok and Mountain Reedbuck. I was open to...

Leaving for East Cape in 9 days and am sure I will have a blast. On my next trip to R.S.A. I want to show my wife Cape Town, Table Mtn and the wine areas north of Cape Town...but want to slip in some hunting as well while I am there and before I head out to other points in R.S.A. like East Cape...

Before my wife and I leave for the East Cape to chase Nyala with Marius of KMG. I last hunted Namibia and although I have been to R.S.A. on business a few times I have not hunted there yet. And it will be my wife's first time on the dark continent. Besides Nyala I am targeting Bushbuck...

And I can't wait! Hunting with Marius of KMG whom I would never had heard of if not for this great website. Nyala & Bushbuck and BlackWildebeest being the main targets. Beyond that whatever wanders into my crosshairs of the following list - Blesbok, Mtn Reedbuck, Warthog, Impala &...

Any body used the Hornady SST bullets on big game? I am going to give some a try and was wondering how well they held together. I am assuming they would be more like the Nosler Accubond than the Nosler Ballistic Tip in performance but was wondering if anybody here has some actual experience...

What is considered "Average", "Above Average" and "Exceptional" for trophy size on the Nyala in Southern Africa? I have not hunted Nyala yet but will be and was wondering what I should be looking for trophy wise. Thanks

Is John Sharp still running safaris? He was an outstanding PH in Zimbabwe but was getting on in age and maybe retired? I google him and find a link for his web page but it errors out so I don't know if he is still in business or what.

When I bought my .375H&H the guy I bought it from gave me a box of ammo. I was a box of Winchester .300 Grain Silvertip Ammo from like the 60s or 70s I would guess. Now, as I understand it, in it's day the "Silvertips" were considered "Premium" ammo vs. the standard Pointed Soft Point but...

Diary of an African Safari by Skip Berry March 2000 Day 1 I got to Namibia on March 18 and had the thrill of hunting there for 10 days. After landing in Windhoek at about noon local time, I got my rifle and cleared customs. There I was met by Pieter Stofberg of Nimrod Safaris. Pieter...

I mean if a guy wants a monster that is 57" plus, what part of Africa should be targeted. I know the East Cape area of RSA has lots of Kudu but I don't think it is known for especially BIG Kudu. Just curious where to hunt if you want a really big Kudu and are willing to hold out for one...
