    Good African Safari Shirt?

    The best I've found, currently produced, is the Bass Pro/Cabelas Ripstop Cotton Poplin LS Shirt and Beachcomber Poplin Shorts. $20 a pop and tough. Buy 3 of each and you're done.

    Cash on Safari

    That's correct for SA. I actually swapped some newer versions of $100's that I brought over for some of the old versions that he had that the SA Bank's wouldn't convert. Prior to the exchange I verified that they were actual tender and not counterfeits. (He had asked me about it prior to coming...

    Traveling with ammo

    My last trip to SA, my duffle/ammo made it, but my rifle stayed behind in Atlanta. First time I've lost either. Good news is my rifle made it in late the next day, but lost a day and a half of hunting due to having to transit back to J'burg to retrieve my rifle.

    Getting mixed answers on bringing ammo into South Africa

    You can't bring in ammunition without a rifle chambered in that caliber and no ammo without a rifle in general. I.E., if you are temporarily importing a 30-06 to hunt with but are also attempting to bring in a few boxes or 375 H&H for the outfitter you are going to have major issues with the...

    Utilitarian Reasons to Own Similar Rifles in the Same Caliber

    I have four 30-06 for different hunting situations here in the US....... three Winchester 70's and a TC Encore. Of the Winchester's one is Featherweight with a 22' for stalking/mountain hunting, one is a Super Grade with a 24" for powerlines/food plots that I've put a B&C stock on to save the...

    Favorite caliber for cape buffalo?

    I have taken buffalo with 375 H&H 300gn Barnes TSX (2), 9.3X74R 286gn RWS and 458WM 450gn Barnes TSX. As has been pointed out thoroughly, first shot is critical for success and safety. The only follow up shot I've had to do was with the 375, even though the first shot was a heart shot. He spun...

    CBP Form 4457 Questions

    In Atlanta, where you have to get your 4457 paperwork processed is off airport property across the interstate, you would need to get a cab……bad idea to try to do it day of. What airport are you flying out of? They should have a CBP office there to process your paperwork. Yes you’ll need to have...

    Game possibilities for .30-30 Contender

I also use a Contender in 44mag with a 10", Encore in 30-06 with 14" and a Ruger Blackhawk Hunter in 44mag with a 10".

    Skull prep

    I use a "Buck Boiler" with some Dawn dish soap for all my euro/skulls. It doesn't make the bone brittle like standard over boiling can do.

    LVPO question for a DG rifle

    Trijicon Accupoint 1x6 with the green dot. I've got that LVPO on my Winchester 375 H&H and 458WM both and have taken two cape buffalo and numerous bears with this setup. I use Trijicon products daily and bet my life on them, they're bomb proof.

    Winchester Pre-64 Model 70 Supergrade African 458 (1956)

    As unfortunate as it is, I'd be hard pressed to even bid on this, even if it sold for a $1000. Too many issues........

    Opinions on 1” Quick Detach Picatinny Rings

    Please don’t use anything Leapers for a DG weapon. I prefer Warren but Talley is also excellent. A couple of ounces is worth it for quality.

    American Hunter Killed in Uganda

    I have never seen an individual more contrary and uppity than @Ontario Hunter. He is the self-proclaimed expert on anything he pontificates and is the smartest man in the room anywhere he goes. It must be a burden to be that all knowing......but who are we to question his vast knowledge as we...

    Scope or red dot as primary for Buffalo in Eastern Cape terrain

    A good quality LVPO scope is the ticket. I run a Trijicon Accupoint 1x6 on my Winchester 70 in 375 H&H and 458WM both. Keep it on 1 for close shots and crank it up to 6 for distance. On my double I run a Trijicon RMR.

    Barnes TSX vs Swift A-Frame on Buffalo

    Having used both on Buffalo , I prefer the Barnes TSX 300gn. My rifle likes them better but I wouldn’t be afraid to use the A-Frame any day.

    Wild Pigs Kill More People Than Sharks

    I've got a pretty good scar on my calf just above my boots that a boar gave me and I've been bit by a couple of sows also. All were the product of dispatching said pigs after my hog dogs had caught them. Point being, a pig can and will hurt you if you get carless around them or if they're...
