I'll be in Jacksonville visiting family for a couple of days. Are there any gun shops worth checking out? Particularly any that stock larger caliber sporting rifles. I'm not really interested in the "tactical" type shops catering to the AR crowd (I own enough AR's for now). Thanks.
 
Shooters on University Blvd, right off I95.
Lots of ar stuff, but other inventory too.
 
Nobody in town carries much in the way of large caliber rifles, but there's an old-style hardware/gun store called Curry Thomas Hardware that has lots of African game mounts in the store and occasionally a few interesting used guns on the rack. It's interesting simply because you don't see many of those stores any more. Shooters is mostly for the tactical crowd. There's a place on the West side called Green Acres that has a pretty big selection of hunting gear, but their prices are a bit high. And on the North side, there's a Gander Mountain. If you aren't familiar, it's a chain of big box sporting goods like a Bass Pro or Cabelas.

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks

hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
