We were in Lidl yesterday and it looks like they are selling biltong. Not sure how authentic it is but may provide a taste of Africa for those unable to go right now.

KARAMOJO BELL: THE SMALL BORE IVORY HUNTER https://revivaler.com/karamojo-bell-the-small-bore-ivory-hunter/

It was 72 degrees with a 5 mph breeze and surprisingly few mosquitoes. I had the option to clean out the workshop or go out shooting. So I was at the range the other day familiarizing myself with my new all weather rifle. I’ve shot it enough now to be pretty comfortable with it so I can start...

Not my ad but the guy has 100 loaded rounds for sale.

Nosler is having another sale on their Custom Ammunition line. Prices for 30-378, 375 RUM, 8 mm Mauser, various 9.3 mm’s, 7mm STW and 257 Roberts look good. If you have a niche cartridge this sale may be worth a look.

I received an email promotion this morning for a sale on 3-9 scopes specifically. Scrolling through the models available from all the different manufacturers I realized that not only were all of the scopes listed from disposable brands or entry level models, but I haven’t seen any high end 3-9...

We’ve been cooped up for a few days now and doing our best to keep a safe distance from the rest of humanity. Torn over our normal routine of helping out at the in-laws house, we’re splitting up the duties to avoid exposing them to any unnecessary contact. Seeing as I’ve never met a home...

Just read a pretty I uninformative article about a new line of Meopta scopes but it did pique my interest. 6x zoom Adjustable parallax Zoom leaver that can be placed anywhere along the zoom dial Several reticle options (some even being minimal) Option of illuminated reticle Option of some new...

I like to shoot at golf balls with 22’s and occasionally 9mm/357/45 while my rifle barrel cools down. Keeps me occupied and away from blowing down the muzzle. A friend loaned me his 454 Casull as consolation for refusing to sell it to me. I bought some 45 LC and hot 454 ammo and plinked...

Dirty Russian ammo. Today I finally made it out to shoot my new foul weather rifle. I bought a Tikka T3 stainless light to use in rainy weather. I’ve never taken the time to break in a barrel before but decided I’d give it a try this time. I ordered a couple of boxes of cheap Russian ammo...

I was watching a YouTube video of a buffalo hunt last night and saw something that had never occurred to me. The client shot a buffalo and it went down with the first shot. A second buffalo was standing next to him and started slowly coming towards the hunting party. The PH yelled at the...

Some of us have nice rifles and some of us have utilitarian rifles. Many scoff at “safe queens” and deride those who are overly concerned by the odd scratch on their shooting tools. I don’t mind scuffs and scrapes from honest hunting but rust is just neglect as far as I’m concerned. I like my...

There are flashlight forums dedicated specifically to pros and cons of different flashlights but I don’t feel most understand the specific needs of hunting so I ask here. What flashlights do you use and recommend? I hunt primarily in the US Southeast and am looking for a light that fills the...

My better half just informed me that we will be going to Barcelona the beginning of March. She drags me all over the place to eat and hike. We never hunt on these vacations as they are usually not during hunting season (fall and winter is my time to hunt at home). I would like to start...

I saw that the new Bushnell Forge scopes are discontinued on Midway and selling for 50% off. I’ve never been a fan of Bushnell and definitely don’t care for the aesthetics of the Forge, but the line was touted as their overbuilt bad-ass line. The magazine propagandists were big fans at the...

Hello from South Carolina. Planning to visit Africa within the next three years. This site has lots of good information and surely will prove to be indispensable in planning. Thank you all for the wealth of knowledge and I hope to be able to contribute.
