Leica amplus 6 would get my vote. That's what I run on my 300 wm. It does a superb job in low light. I have the 56mm. Now...I would also take a look at the trijicon tenmile hx...I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. The leica is better in lowlight and has clearer glass. Imo it is...

I have shot a ton of turkey in my life, but never one with five beards. Best I have gotten was one with four. That is definitely the bird of a lifetime.

If I had birds gobbling within 200 yards and they weren't coming I dont think I could sit there and hope they come lol. I would have to try to get within their bubble and make something happen.

I think your success rate would drastically increase if you weren't confined to a blind. I know several people hunt turkey that way, but I have always had much more success running and gunning. Find a bird that wants to play the game, get in his bubble, and kill him. If he is answering you but...

They aren't....we are supporting them with our tax dollars!

I always use DT Gruelle for import broker and Ty's Taxidermy in Vidor, Tx mounts all my African game. Super simple process and does amazing work. Highly recommend both!

Great looking rifle! If I didn't have taxidermy to pay for next month I would be all over it!

If the deal falls through, I would be interested.

TY's Taxidermy in Vidor, Tx does an amazing job and is reasonably priced.

I have used the Leverlution ammo a lot. It has performed flawlessly on whitetail. On multiple occasions it knocked a hole in them you could literally look through. Every deer I have taken with it provided an exit. Shots ranged from 30 yards to around 200.

I had a single crate that shipped last year with sable, eland, blue and golden wildebeest, Nyala, zebra flatskin, and backskins for wildebeests and Nyala. From SA to Houston was $1003. I dont remember what the dip/pack cost was just the shipping.

Was kind of my thoughts as well. My buddy took a 300 PRC last year and shot 190gr CX and they did great. I shot 168gr Barnes TTSX out of my 300 and they did really well too. Was just looking to try something a little different I guess.

Hell friends...recently got a new 7mm PRC I plan on taking with me back to Limcroma in May. Was curious what people's thoughts were on the 160gr Hornady CX bullets out of this gun? I usually take my 300 with 168gr Barnes TTSX, but wanted a shorter barreled lighter gun, so went with the Bergara...

Did you make two posts with the same gun?

Well there are these really awesome things called scanners. Scan the hard copy in, then the problem is solved. Another option would be to keep the hard copies until issues happen then input the information soft copy. I can understand what you are saying, but you shouldn't have a single point...

No. Not surprised. Guess more pissed off people can't do their job.

That in itself is a problem. In the military we have secondary and tiechary means. It's ashamed people are too lazy to do a little extra work!

Man I hate to hear that man!!!

Bingo

Oh it's not. Just pisses me off that my tax dollars pay for people to sit on their rear and be lazy!

Glad you had a great handling experience with coppersmith. Once again...the problem wasn't with the broker. Broker went above and beyond to try and fix the problem. I'm not changing from a broker that has been tried and true multiple multiple times. Simply wanted to let others know about...

They were airshipped from JNB. No issues at all with the shipment. Went from JNB to some other place then straight to Houston. Problem was with the F&W at Houston.

Like mentioned before....this is the first time there has been any issues. It could prove to be very expensive, but they have always stayed on top of things to ensure thing were promptly taken care of. This time F&W simply got the best of me and it wasn't nearly as costly as it could have been...

I have read a lot of horror stories and my situation could have been a lot worse. All my stuff is now cleared, but they could have continued to say their systems were down and the fees continue to rack up. I can't stand people that are lazy and it seems a lot of the issues reported could have...

In the past there has been no problems and the broker ensures things are handled properly. It ultimately boils down to the people at F&W being lazy and the terminal storage not being accommodating because of the Issues F&W were experiencing. Maybe the broker I have used two times and buddies...

Well you are jumping to conclusions with me clearing the trophies myself. I did pay a broker and they handled everything promptly and without issue. However, they do not have a storage space themselves. CBP was cleared asap and F&W would have been completed the same if they wouldn't have had...

Same way I look at it. However, I just spoke to the supervisor there and unfortunately they claim they are not on the hook for the charges regardless of how long they take. Typical lazy bum answer. I then spoke with the terminal in charge of storage and they would not waive the charges. Told me...

I am not one to usually rant, but the Fish and Wildlife at Houston is really starting to anger me. Monday my trophies from this year's safari arrived in Houston. Yesterday CBP cleared them very quickly and early that morning. F&W claimed their system was down and couldn't knock their part out. I...

The last one I had built was around 6 or 7 years ago. The ones I have built myself are cheaper as my wife's uncle owns a lumber yard and I can get materials next to nothing. I am having a couple built now, one for kudu and one for sable and will have 275 a piece in those. I just spoke to the guy...

LIMCROMA Safaris have fantastic kudu killed every year. There were multiple 55+ killed while I was in camp this year. Not to mention, a week after I left there was a 59.5 and 57 killed. I am not sure of the total number taken over 55 this year, but there was multiple!

I have had a few built of Old barn wood and one recently built out of blue ponderosa pine and they were nowhere near 600 a peice. I am in the wrong business. I am gone start building pedestals and selling them!

Never buy from a box store for bases. Find someone who builds them and purchase directly from them. They are cheaper and of much higher quality. I have built a couple myself as well and its not difficult. I can also promise you, I wouldn't have anything with any animal on it that looked like...

800 for a pedestal in the US is a complete and utter rip off! I have had pedestals for many animals built in the past for around 100-200.

I have the silencerco Omega 300 and love it. I take it from my 300 win mag to 223, 6.5 prc, 30-06, and 25-06. It is ridiculously quiet and with the military discount offered by Silencerco, was hard to go any other route.

Thanks for the kind words. It's a great camera with very little use. I think I filmed 6 or 7 hunts with it. Now that my son wants to go more I want to focus more on him and the hunt than filming. Not to mention, I have Africa trips to pay for lol!

Canon Vixia XA30 with Campbell's camo wrap. This is a great hunting package for someone. Has all top of the line accessories along with the camera. No issues whatsoever. Just getting out of filming hunts and no longer need the camera and accessories. It will serve someone very well. Looking for...

Africa Sky or afton house. I've stayed at both and both are nice. The rooms are nicer at Africa Sky but the food was better at afton house. I'd stay at either again though.

Welcome. Also from Louisiana!

My animals from last year are at the taxidermist now. I did dip/pack in South Africa and had a couple backskins tanned there. I also did the same for the animals this year that are scheduled to ship aroudn the end of next month. Great job all the way around for communicaiton and quality of work...

Like others have said, simply put it on your 4457, take your tax stamp with you (I also put a copy in my gun box along with a copy of 4457) and you will not have any issues. There will be individuals on here tell you you can't do it and its illegal blah blah blah, but I spoke directly with ATF...

You will have a great hunt with @Limcroma Safaris. IMO they are one of the best outfitters in all of Africa.

IMO @Limcroma Safaris is one of the best bow hunting destinations in South Africa. I have had a couple buddies bow hunt with them, I only rifle hunt now, and they took some exceptional game. Not to mention they have specific properties for bow only and have great bow set ups and amazing...

I would recommend Ty's Taxidermy in Vidor, Tx. They do an amazing job on their mounts. They also ship all over the US at a very reasonable price.

When I started reloading TSS for turkey hunting, I spoke with my choke manufacturer and he recommended denatured alcohol. It works wonderfully and thats all I use now for cleaning my shot gun barrels.
