    Does each barrel on an R8 count as a separate weapon?

    Professional Hunter personal hunt

    For you PHs out there. With all of your experience and knowledge, if you are the hunter does your choice of gun change. Instead of your stopper do you go for a lighter scoped rifle?

    Firearm restrictions

    No, I'm not sure. I read it somewhere on here. PG rifle, DG rifle, 375 backup to first two, shotgun.

    Firearm restrictions

    I imagine the limit on the number of guns you can take to Africa is frustrating to most of us.. To make matters worse is S. Africa is the worst allowing only 2 guns. Is SCI or someone lobbying to get this changed?

    .264 WM

    I have a Win M70 barely used in 264. Am getting 3550 with a 100gr. Barnes TTSX with no pressure signs. RL 22. Would this be good for plains game?

    DSC Wants your help with Importation Ban - End Run!

    The Senate isn't about to hold up a huge bill like this because it harms African animals and hunters.

    LH CRF 264 Win Mag

    Use the 7 mag. Pretty much just have to screw the 7 barrel off and put a .264 on.

    450-400 3 Inch NE DR...You Will Not Find This Kind Of Deal Anywhere!

    That's a great attitude, Rare Breed. Sometimes things just don't work out for some reason but there is nothing we can do except pick up and continue. Wish I had the funds!

    Detachable rings

    Thanks guys. I figured they must be really accurate with as many of you using them.

    Detachable rings

    Thank you guys. I bet every one of you was apprehensive about the first set. Now what about the claw mounts you see on many doubles?

    Detachable rings

    It looks like a fair number of people use QD rings. Are they really that repeatable?

    Hello from Mississippi

    You know, I can't say I have a favorite rifle. I guess if I had to pick it would be my first. Rem. 700 Classic, 30-06. Original Barnes X 165gr. Just bought a Model 70 in .264. It is going to be fun to play with. I have a 100 gr. TTSX at 3550 with no pressure signs. A guy on another forum has...

    Accomodations

    Most of the pics of the Outfitter headquarters on here look like resorts. Let's just say you are on a 30 day safari, Buff, Leopard, plains. What would you say the average number of nights are spent at HQ and how many in "the bush." This is assuming it is a reputable outfit with considerable land.

    Hello from Mississippi

    Longtime lurker and noticed a neighbor from Alabama (WAR Eagle!} introduced himself. Lifelong hunter (40 yrs.) all in the U.S. except for doves in Mexico. I have always been fascinated with Africa and the romanticism of the hunting. I am a big gun guy and a traditionalist as I mentioned. I love...

    Lead core vs all copper

    Monolithic on every count. If for some reason you have to use lead, Swift is the answer.

    Shipping/transporting guns

    Thanks for the answers guys. My main problem is with the U.S. airport personnel. Usually rude, uneducated, and just generally have a chip on their shoulder because they hate their jobs. Having to check a gun just adds to the hassle and I hate doing it. Leasing a plane in the CONUS sucks but is...

    Shipping/transporting guns

    Thank you. I have never hunted Africa. I hate air traveling in the U.S. with guns and would be even more nervous internationally traveling with them. I guess it's just part of it.

    Shipping/transporting guns

    I HATE traveling with my guns dealing with the airlines. I don't trust them plus it is just a PITA. Would it be possible to just FEDEX my rifles to a PH in S. Africa and eliminate all that? I completely trust FEDEX.
