    Bertram USA, Scam or Ligit?

    I've been looking for some hard-to-find brass and discovered what II need advertised on the Bertram USA site. I'm concerned about placing an order because their only contact information is an email address; no address or phone number that I could find. I did make an inquiry using the email...

    Shipping firearms before/after safari

    Are there trustworthy companies that can ship firearms between the US and Africa (RSA?). I had read an article in the SCI magazine about this, I think it was by Boddington, unfortunately that is long gone now. If at all possible at times it may be advantageous to ship. For instance, if you...

    .303 British Trigger

    I have a .303 British No4 MKI that has been my go-to rifle for hunting Whitetails. Love the handy little rifle except for trigger, it sucks! I don't know if it is the same for all of these rifles but is is the sloppiest thing you can imagine. Mine literally flops back and forth in the triggers...

    Trophy Fees

    "Trophy Fees" have been a curiosity to me since I went to Tanzania. I had assumed that they are $$$'s that go to the wildlife department of the respective country but apparently that is not entirely true. This became evident when I learned that what I paid was not consistent with others that...

    Thoughts on Peregrine Bullets for Dangerous Game

    I have somehow become fixated on handloading Peregrine bullets for my next trip to Africa, I really can't explain why because I simply do not know. Peregrines are not readily available in the US but I have managed to get a few in .375 and .511 (they were supposed to be .510). As yet I've only...

    Beginning of the end for Selous?

    I came upon this article while doing some trip planning for a return to Tanzania. It's very disheartening but I can't say surprising. Tanzania has signed on to the Chinese "Belts and Roads" initiative which in itself will be a disaster for the people and environment. I was there a little over a...

    Ruger Safari Magnum Project

    I purchased a RSM .375 H&H about 5-mos ago sight unseen. I needed this thing like the preverbal hole-in-the-head, never intended to get it. This all started quite by accident via a guy I met on my way to Tanzania for a buffalo hunt. It’s long story but the extremely short version is that we...

    Ruger RSM Recoil System

    I've recently purchased Ruger RSM 375 H&H; purchased it but have not physically seen the thing as yet; an uninteresting story that I won't get into. It is currently with the gunsmith that I use and in our discussions the seemingly convoluted recoil system was brought up. Frankly I've never seen...
