Hey that wasn't too bad...applied in Nov/Dec and got my approval today. Much thanks to Conservation Force for their work in expediting it. Also, there were a number of questions from USFWS that had to be answered with research around their conservation concerns. USFWS didn't rubber stamp it...

a special on 4/16 on .416 bullets. I ordered 3 boxes.

2 full boxes of Federal Premium 570 Woodleigh hydro solids - $250 each (Midway priced at $310) 2 full boxes of Hornady 570 DGX bonded softs - $200 each (Midway priced at $250)

I shoot a wood stocked R8 with 375, 300, 257 and rimfire barrels. Great setup. In my traditional rifles, I also like the 458 Lott. I'm thinking of adding a R8 barrel in 458 Lott but don't want to open up the wood fore end for the 22mm Safari profile barrel. I'm considering all options...

Lightly used or new...anyone have some they can spare?

Looking for some .50-70 Sharps brass. Would also consider .50 Basic. Thanks.

anyone looking to sell one? Looking for .45 or .40 caliber in a Creedmoor or Long Range Express style...keeping my options open and there are many variables but let's see what might be available. 1874 or 1877...I've owned both and like them both.

This V/C 500 nitro express shoots and handles very well and if it doesn't sell, I would be happy to keep it. No issues...just some honest wear, which makes it more attractive in my opinion. It opens and closes so smoothly and has the best feel of numerous doubles I own. I just had it at an...

I'm sure there are a few here that have finished their spiral horn slam. Please share some photos. There must be a few more that are serious about the spiral horns. Who's close to being done? I'm nowhere near close but after this season I might be just under 1/2 way there. That's the easy...

I got these 500 pieces of 327 Federal brass primed from Freedom Arms and never got around to that project. I paid $220 for them but would sell them for $175 shipped in the lower 48 states.

Could I see some examples of your Blaser R8 cases setup for multiple barrels? I have the factory hard case for 2 barrels but was looking for some examples of how you setup a case/foam for 3 barrels, etc. Thanks.

Who has hunted all of the buffalo sub-species in Africa? Have any of you gone on to hunt most of the world's wild cattle/bovine/buffalo? I don't remember what all of the species are but you have the African buffalo and sub-species, banteng and water buffalo in Oz, water buffalo in South...

Posting my Dakota model 10 7x57 used on one recent safari in Sept/Oct. Gun is in excellent condition and was only hunted for 2 weeks taking kudu, huge duiker, 12 impala (mostly head shots...this gun is accurate) while looking for that big leopard. I'm including the high resolution photos from...

This is a rare opportunity for a Sterling Davenport Mauser 98 500 Jeffery, priced at $9500 plus shipping. Included in the sale are 175-600gr Weldcore PP and 75-600gr FMJ Woodleigh bullets. Also included is the like new RCBS 3 die steel set and shell holder, 1” dies, which needs an adapter (not...

For me, it's hard to imagine a trip without some kind of DG on the menu. I find myself taking incidental PG that is above average but ONLY if I'm not on tracks for DG. I just keep coming back for mostly buff and elephant and my 2 trips booked for next year will continue that trend. I love the...

Now that DSC is moving in '25 to Atlanta for 5 years, what other hunt shows are available in TX in addition to Houston Safari Club? What shows are available on a reasonable drive outside of TX?

This custom 375 has been to Africa a few times for buffalo and misc DG and PG by its former owner and myself. Butch Searcy built it on a ZKK-602 action and it has a nice Fajen stock, some case colors and a Winchester style safety. Holds 4 + 1 and has 24" barrel. This has been a great rifle...

(Champlin’s description as only George can do) #438, Champlin Bolt Rifle in Caliber 458 Lott with a 24" Octagon Barrel with a Machined Integral 1/4 rib, front ramp and barrel sling stud. The gun has a fixed standing rear sight, The 1/4 rib is hand matted, Tang safety, Two panel bolt knob...

Does anyone have a right hand R8 stock setup for 22mm Safari barrel profiles? Also looking for 9.3x62 and .416 barrels. Thanks,

Every day hunting is a good day but sometimes you just hit all of the marks. This is one of those hunts but in some unexpected ways. Call it hunter’s luck…or good fortune…but I was very blessed to be able to take advantage of this cancellation hunt. At DSC this year, a client of mine...

Any recommended reading or videos about hunting in Europe? One source on videos that I like is on MyOutdoorTV.com...lots of production quality videos on roe buck, driven boar, fallow, mouflon, stag, etc. like those that have Franz Albrecht featured. I haven't found any great contemporary...

The recent topic on running shots gets close to a topic I've been considering...for your first boar hunt in Europe, would you recommend a driven shoot or something else like stalking and/or high stands for individual boars? Also, where would you go and any recommendations on what time of year...

I see a lot of photos of suppressor use in Africa but I think all of them were owned by the guides. Has anyone taken their own from the US into Africa...or for that matter Europe, etc? I was thinking of taking one for some night hunts but wasn't sure of the paperwork or legality of traveling...

Who has some experience shooting the cup point solids on game? I've been hearing reports of them creating wound channels of 2x bullet diameter, almost like an expanding solid. I'm curious in particular with Northfork's version of this but interested in anyone's experience with this style of...

Who has used this service and can you share photos and anything you learned from doing it? I'm considering that as an option for a hunt next month as it could take a long time to get ivory imported. Who would you recommend for making these? I will be hunting in Zim.

Looking for bullets not ammo.

My pronghorn from last years hunt in NM is done. I think it turned out good.

This brass is new in the shipping boxes. 7 cases (100 pieces each), Lapua small rifle primer 6.5mm Creedmoor, $100 each plus shipping 1 case (250 pieces total), Starline small rifle primer 6mm Creedmoor, $175 plus shipping I will consider .416 Rigby Norma brass or premium bullets (A-frames...

I have a leopard and elephant combo hunt coming up in Zim. I'm thinking of taking one rifle (416 Rigby) to do the elephant, bait animals and leopard. I'm going to verify that I can get Barnes 400 solids and 400 TSX to print close together. Has anyone used TSX on leopard? I know that's more...

I'm looking for 400 grain A-frames and 400 grain Breakaway solids....bullets not ammo. Thanks!

This is a beautiful condition Verney Carron 450/400 nitro express O/U double rifle. It shoots the included developed loads with Aframes, 400gr CEB, Hornady DGX/DGS to the same POI with 4 shots into 2 inches at 50 yards. This gun gets a lot of compliments with its case colors and nice wood. I...

I just returned from a fantastic DG hunt in South Africa with Mattanja Hunting Safaris and owner/PH Dieter Prinsloo who is active on this forum (posts here under his business name). In fact, I met him through the AH forums and we had some great conversations on WhatsApp. In all of that, I got...

Any recommendations on guides who like to get in real close for double rifles on water buffalo? I would like to get a small list of guides to visit with at DSC next year.

Anyone have one available? I don’t need the stock or barrel.

If I’m hunting in Zim or Botswana (or wherever), can the taxidermy be done in South Africa and then shipped to US? What about something that requires permits like leopard? I’m wondering if any of you have experience doing that? I was thinking specifically of using Life Form taxidermy in SA.

I've got the typical reading resources on reloading big bores like Pierre van Der Walt, A-Square, etc. I'm looking for more reading material about the 500J. Were there any particular works from Sanchez-Arino, J Hunter, etc that I should be looking for? I'm looking for any stories, hunting...

I’m looking for a 50 B&M rifle in that 18” barrel length. It’s one of the few 50‘s I haven’t tried yet. Any available out there?

I'm curious what you're doing for ammo on DG hunts. I certainly reload for practice and I have used both factory loads and reloads for the actual DG hunt. There has been some pride of ownership in using my own reloads for any of my hunts. However, how many of you reload for DG versus going to...

This is a beautiful takedown rifle that was built by Fraser and serialed in their logbook...but finished and sold by H&H and also serialed to their logbook. So it's a Daniel Fraser action finished by Holland & Holland. Caliber is 360 Express 2 1/4”. Details are overflowing on this gun in very...

This is truly one of the most accurate guns I have owned and certainly one of the most accurate hunting rifles you can buy. I have 2 load recipes that I can provide to the buyer but the top end load is a 325 grain Pittman custom bullet running just over 3100 fps (not a typo). That load prints...

I was just at Champlin's over the weekend and picked up a couple of excellent vintage pieces. Looking at the Chapuis again reminds me of how much value is there. Before making a decision, I wanted to see if anyone here has a Chapuis double in 375 flanged or 9.3x74 they would consider selling?

Since we're in safari season after the shows, does anyone have new favorite duffle bags or checked bag options? My rifle case is a tuffpak 1050 but I'm looking for a good duffle/backpack style bag or other good checked bag options for this year's trips. It will hold my locked ammo box and...

Any issues with taking bullets (not loaded ammo) to the PH in Africa? I would have them in factory boxes in a separate checked bag from the rifles of course. They would be in the bag along with my locked hard case of ammo. Not all of the bullets will match up with my rifles so is this a...

We know how important your feet are to hunting. I’ve had good results from Kennetrek, Lowa, Courtenay, Russels, etc. I recently got something new to me and wanted to share a bit. While my Russells are still in good shape after 15 years of use (amazing) I was looking for something a little...

Who has experience with the 450 TSX in a 458 Lott? I was looking at load data with H4895 in the 2200 fps range.

Just got notice from WTA tags that I drew it after 2 years of applying. I wasn’t ready for it! I’ve got a lot to do to prep for this one. Gun and load are the easy part!

Mine was damaged...conveyor tore the locking area. Anyone have one they are thinking of selling? I'm looking for the padlock version with wheels.

I ordered a Pelican 1200 but it's not big enough to carry factory boxes of 500NE. I was looking for something that could carry at least one box of solids and softs and also 1 box of 375. I thought the 1200 would do it but it's too small for the larger nitro calibers in factory boxes. What are...
