Hey guys, I am thinking about adding a tusk less elephant to my safari. Is it true that no part of the elephant cannot be imported? Not even the tail for a bracelet? If this has been addressed before you have my apologies. Also I finally put up a picture on my avatar. Let me know what ya think.

Hey guys. Was at a local gun show and ran into this South African knife maker. He had a lot of cool models of knives he makes, but I had to have this one. Enjoy!

Some of you may have been keeping up with the weather in the south with days and days of heavy rain. I live in Columbia SC where we're getting the brunt of the floods. Cars and some houses underwater and we have lost 9 people so far. So far my house and neighborhood ok. Please keep these people...

Has anyone here used Kynoch 470 ammo in their double rifles. If so, what kind of results? Now that my other two rifles have been sorted out, I'm ready to start work on my Searcy 470. I realize their ammo is expensive which is why a lot of people don't use it, but if it regulates the best for MY...

Some of you might have read an earlier post about my concern of Remington Safari Premium 300gr Swift A Frame accuracy in my Winchester 375 H&H. Well the range report is no worries for me. I think my gun likes it. The lower right hole is first shot, then scope corrected one click up and one click...

Well guys my leupold V6 1-6x24 w/firedot came in today. Guess what?? Firedot doesn't work. I put supplied battery in the correct way, positive side up, nothing. The directions say if it doesn't work or light is dim change battery. I had new ones at the house, so I tried them. Nope. The ones I...

Well guys I went in to my local pawnshop to see if he had any scopes I would be interested in. He is a Zeiss, Leupold, and Swarovski dealer as well. We started talking about Africa. He said he had a near mint 375H&H for sale, and as I already have one I wasn't that interested. Well low and...

Upon looking for a scope for my 375 H&H, I am looking at 1-4 x 24 and 1-6x 24. In you guys opinion, do you think it's that critical to gain 2x more with the 1-6 x 24's? Iv'e found some good deals on 1-4's but not 1-6's. The scope will be used for plains game, AND also a backup rifle for...

Guys, some of you know I'm a single dude. Divorced long time ago. Well, I went to a bar the other day. I walked in and saw a thick/ heavy set girl dancing on a table. I walked up to the table and looked up at her and said " nice legs". She said do you really think so, and I said yes, if they...

Gentlemen I have a Swarovski 4-12 x 50 scope for sale. Tube is one inch and the scope is mint. It was mounted on a rifle and never hunted. No scope ring marks or scratches. This sold for over a thousand bucks. Comes with see through scope covers. Sorry I do not have the box. I am only selling...

Besides knowing the fact that the ammo would have to shoot well in this particular rifle, Model 70 safari late production, what Factory ammo would you recommend for plains game and maybe buffalo. I'm planning on my double for buffalo, but you never know. Just for giggles, lets just say they all...

I swore I would never sell this but things are slow and I need to get to Africa. A minty 98-99% Winchester model 70 in the classic 300 H&H. $ 2200.00 plus 40.00 shipped in hard case. This is a pre 64.

Hey guys, I just bought a Kimber 8400 Montana in stainless. It's in 25-06 and I'm going to mount a 4-12 x 50 scope to it. The scope has a one inch tube, which rings/bases would you use. My gut tells me Warn or maybe Talley's, but I'm old school and have done all my mounts with Leupold, and...

Are these bullets safe to shoot in double rifles like Searcy, Heym, etc? I know dumb question but hear things like bullet compression etc. Thanks in advance. Oh yea..caliber is 470 NE.

I think I know the answer to this question, but I will ask anyway. If I drop my hammers on snap caps, then take forearm off and take barrels out, then take snap caps out of chambers, then reassemble the gun, it will be de-cocked and no pressure on ejectors correct? If I'm not mistaken, the...

Some of you remember when I got my Heym, I decided to get a Searcy in 470 that I had on lay away. In the classified ads I recently sold two Ruger RSM's to off set the cost. Well I'm happy to say my Searcy 470 made it home today. Here are some pics ( if I do this right ). Not chest thumping, just...

This sale is for a Ruger Safari RSM MKII in 375 H&H magnum. This rifle comes with a Leupold 1.5-5 multi-plex reticule. The rifle is excellent throughout and I would rate an easy 98% or better. A couple of very light handling marks and that's it. Round count is about 120 rds. Very nice wood as...

First offer to you guys is a Ruger RSM MKII 30-06. These guns are rare as Ruger didn't make many of them compared to other calibers. I bought this rifle new, been a safe queen and is mint. I've fired less than one box of cartridges through it. Comes with Ruger high mounts as I had a 50mm scope...

Ok guys...just a heads up. To fund my Searcy 470, I am contemplating selling my Ruger RSM rare 30-06 and Ruger RSM in 375 H&H. Both rifles are gorgeous and excellent. The 06 is 99%, the 375 H&H is a strong 98%. I'll decide by tomorrow July 5th. Just something to keep in mind. Offers to my...

Being new to double rifles, I have a few questions. First one is ...sometimes I see three holes 120 degrees apart on the front of the receiver where the firing pins protrude. What is the purpose of those. Second..what does bushed firing pins mean? Thanks in advance.

Ok guys...I just got off the phone with the lady at Searcy & Co. I asked her about Butch retiring and their warranty. She said the warranty still applies if the gun has NOT been tampered with. She also stated that Butch was semi-retired but in a few years he might be completely retired she just...

Guys I have a Ruger .416 RSM on the classified ads. Offered to you guys before it goes on sale elsewhere. Have a look.

Ok guys...I'm selling this to offset the cost of my Searcy .470. I hate to sell this but somethings got to go. This is a 99.99% Ruger RSM in .416 Rigby. This gun has been shot exactly 25 times. It's a tack driver. I have a 450/400 double, am working on a .470 double and have several.375's so...

Since this will be my first DSC, I have a dumb question. Iv'e been holding off buying cartridge belts for my doubles as well as gaiters. Will they have these available from the major manufacturers at the DSC or do I need to order on line? I know sometimes vendors just have " samples" not for...

Hey guys. Just came across a really good deal on a 3-12 x 56 30mm tube Docter scope. I'm familiar with Ziess and Sarovski as I have a few. Does anyone have any experience with these scope makers. Some people I know love them. They are supposed to be quality German optics. I want to put it on a...

A man had a pet Parrot whom he kept in the bathroom all the time. Every time the man went to shave, the parrot would say " your going to cut yourself". Eventually the wife tells hubby he needs to get rid of this bird. The man says ok, then decides to hide the bird in a basement bathroom...

Since this coming Dallas Safari Club Convention is going to be my first one. Can you convention veterans give me an idea of the best hotel to stay in. Preferably with transportation to and from DSC convention. I get to lazy to drive.

Well guys awhile back I posted a thread where I bought two Ruger RSM's. one in 416 Rigby and one 375 H&H. Well yesterday while shooting my double I finally got around to shooting my Rigby 416. I had never shot one before and was a little worried about whether I could handle the recoil, as I...

Some of you wanted to see how my Heym 88 PH shot after I just got it. Well after a month of rain I finally got out today and shot it. Bear in mind I have never shot a double rifle before so here it is. The group is to the right 3 inches. It didn't take me long to see why. From the factory the...

Since I'm still in the planning stage, if you wanted a Buffalo with a good drop and tight curl where would you go? I know you can find one like that anywhere, but some countries genetically produce more buffs than others.

Well guys...some of you may have followed my earlier post about My Heym 88 PH being on layway. Well..after nine months and ten days she's mine. A 450/400 NE. Please don't take this as boasting. I just wanted to share my dream gun with you guys. Enjoy the pics if I can get them to show.

Hey guys. I see on Tracks Across Africa hunters wearing hunting clothes with DSC patches and logos on them. I assumed they were from DSC web site store..but every time I visit there, they don't have anything. Am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks.

All the little rascals are sitting in school when the teacher asked who can spell the word ( dictate). Spanky is waving his arms and the teacher calls on him. Spanky says d-e-k-t-a-t-e and the teacher says no spanky..that's incorrect. Buckwheat waves his arms and the teacher say's "ok...

Hey guys...since I am on the verge of owning my first double rifle ( Heym 88 PH ) I have heard about barrels needing to be re- regulated after a time. Since I am not familiar with this I was hoping someone would chime in and explain when and why they have to be re regulated. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,, I recently joined the Dallas Safari Club on line. It said it would be reviewed at board meetings I guess. Does anyone know about how long it takes. Just askin. Thanks.

ok guys. I'm slowly getting my stuff together for an African Safari and since guns are out the way..I'm working on boots. Iv'e heard a lot about Courteney and Russell boots on this site. Iv'e read most the post. I wear anywhere from a size 8 to 9 1/2 depending on style and mfg. Do any of you...

ok..here is a dumb question..I know..I know...are most of the shooting sticks used on safari rubber tipped? I know a rifle used for hunting will get dings and scratches..I can accept that. But seems to me getting two dents on each side of gun is unnecessary if theres no padding between forearm...

Ok guys....I have a chance to get a Ruger M77 Safari ( older one ) mint condition or a NIB Winchester model 70 Safari both in 375H&H. Both are about the same price. I like the quarter rib on the 77 and both fit me well and weigh about the same. The Winchester I like too. Which one in your...

I have a chance to get a Whitworth express rifle in excellent shape..matter of fact like new condition. I thinks its interarms MK X. Does anyone have any experience with this rifle..good or bad? Thanks. It's in 375 H&H.

Hey guys...I'm planning my safari for 2014 for buffalo and I keep reading that my soon to be Heym 88 in 450/400 is too light for buff. I myself a beginner doesn't agree with this. I realize there are better buff calibers out there of course...but I can just imagine throughout the history of this...

Hey guys! As my earlier post in the greetings section stated, I'm a newbie planning my first Safari and was wondering what problems people had with their rifles getting lost or stolen traveling to and from their Safari. I will be taking a double rifle and concerned about this. If any of you "...

Hello ladies and gents. Iv'e been lurking for a while and decided to join. It seems that there are some very nice people on here and I can learn a lot. I used to live in Africa as a kid..and now want to go back and hunt. I'm a newbie so please bear with me:).
