It's been a minute since I've been on here but I am back nonetheless! With deer season here and gun week coming quickly (I live in OH so we only get 1 week of rifle hunting and it has to be with a straight wall cartridge) I am looking for a classic rifle in a straight wall cartridge. The 1895...

Figured some of you on here are into cartography or like old maps. Does anyone on here have any cool old maps of Africa or other places you'd like to share?

I can’t find much on here or google about the topic so I figured someone on here has to know. Looking into a custom rifle after finding out the new John Rigby rifles aren’t even made in England so I don’t want to go that route anymore. is it possible to rechamber a m70 that’s currently in 416...

Brand new winchester model 70 safari express in 416 win mag. Gun has never been fired but has a few small dings from the safe. All are very small and hardly noticeable. This particular one has some good looking wood which seems to be hit or miss on these. I bought this gun recently and have...

It’s been a little since I’ve been on the the Africa bug is still eating away at me. Today I got my first big bore! t’s a Winchester model 70 safari express in 416 REM MAG. It’s not the Rigby BG I drool over but I’m falling in love with this quickly though. I picked it up at my LGS today. They...

Hi guys, I am trying to find out what the differences are between the Winchester safari express and super express. I haven’t been successful finding much here or online. I am thinking about buying a model 70 safari express in 375 H&H but just wish they made a super grade safari express. I...

Since I am mainly an upland hunter and have Africa calling my name, I want to get some "bigger" game under my belt before going over. By bigger I mean something larger than pheasants and coyotes. I can't stand Midwest whitetail hunting but a trophy pronghorn has caught my interest and possibly...

This probably isn’t going to help any future nerves whenever I embark to go after my big five but figured I’d ask anyway. To start with, I understand that all of the big five have a lot of potential to seriously hurt or kill you. My curiosity lies more in the details from the hunters who have...

Starting the planning of my African safari for sometime in 2024 or 2025. This’ll be my first trip so going for a good mix of plains game. So far on the list is a few zebra (I want set of zebra chairs), Kudu, springbok, gemsbok, warthog and wildebeest. I am hoping to have 10 days of hunting and...

Hi everyone! I’ve searched all the threads on here already but haven’t found what I’m looking for. I am hoping some of you who are more knowledgeable can chime in. I have a Winchester model 70 super grade maple in 300wm on order. Without getting into a debate on guns it’s my dream rifle. I plan...

Hi everyone, I am looking for a new rifle mainly something new to shoot and carry around the farm to thin the coyote population. Also, I would like to take it on a hog hunting trip and maybe take it for whitetail. I know this site is mainly for African hunting so there isn't too much .308 stuff...

Hi everyone! I have been bitten by the English gun bug and it has bit HARD! Who on here has a lee speed rifle they would like to share pictures with? Bonus points if it was one retailed by Westley Richards, Holland & Holland, Etc. I love these rifles and have been trying to learn as much as...
