    Tracking Bull Eland

    Does anyone have any recommendations on a free range (or large sustainable fenced) eland tracking hunt? I imagine that Namibia is probably the easiest and most cost effective location and I am very happy with a basic tent and basic food. I have discussed this with a PH, unfortunately he can...

    NAMIBIA: 2023 - Kambaku, Otjiwarongo

    I have been meaning to write this for some time and have finally got around to putting something in writing. After hunting in Mozambique in 2022, I was totally hooked and after some internet searching for a place that offered ethical fair chase hunting, mainly on foot, I found Kambaku. I...

    KKC stocks

    Is anyone here using a KKC stock on a .375 H & H rifle? If so, how does it hold up to the recoil? I am looking at one for my Blaser R8, as the standard professional stock does not fit at all without a lot of shuffling about.

    New rifle choices

    For the last 10 years or so, I have had a 30-06 and a .17 Hornet. Foolishly, I sold my Heym 30-06 to get what looked like a very smart customised Mauser action 30-06. I have no end of trouble with it and have sent it away to a gunsmith who specualises in Mauser Actioned rifles. He called...

I have asked the PH not to...

    My rifles got a bit of a battering on the plane last year which had lead me to think would I be better removing my scope and putting it in hand luggage for transport (if it is in QD mounts)? Does anyone do this?

    Mausingfield

    Has anyone on here built a .375 Ruger on a Mausingfield action? I imagine it is too short for a 375 H & H. If so, which magazine did you use? I would ideally like a switch barrel .222, 30-06 and 375 on the same action using a floorplate magazine but I don't know how feasible this would be? I...

    DEET with sunglasses and watch straps

    I have purchased some DEET based insect repellent, having used Avon So Soft before (which was absolutely fine in the UK). I have been warned not to use DEET with nylon or plastic based watch straps or plastic sunglasses. What do you use? My watch straps are either nylon (I think) NATO type or...
