I know the mother and father of this young lady, they are a wonderful family who is hurting beyond description. If you are so inclined, they could use a special prayer today. As you can imagine, as more details of the attack come out, it is just as horrific as you would think...

I have several Rand hats, all of them are fantastic , but like guns and watches, I never get enough. I am having them do another Safari style hat, but I am not locked in on a color, does anyone here have one of their hats in the moss green color. If so, do you like it and could you please posts...

I am fairly new to fishing, or fishing with seriousness to it, I am setting up some different rods for a bass fishing weekend. Tieing 40lbs braid to12lbs fluoro and then a couple with 20 to 6, if that makes any diffence. What knot do you guys use?

Did they discontinue the Mark 6 series? Specifically the 1-6 scope in that line? I heard that today from someone I usually trust, but I can't believe that would be true.

Good morning, everyone. For over a decade I have run a fantasy football league on another large forum, it is a ton of fun and those of us in the league over the years have become good friends. A few days ago I reached out to @AfricaHunting.com to get his blessing on possibly starting a similar...

I have a buddy who is taking his family to Amelia Island in a couple weeks, his son would like to go fishing. This son is probably 6-7 is my guess. Anyone have an outfitter they can recommend in that area? Thank you

Well after multiple delays and then not being able to make the re-re-rescheduled dates work on my end, I am going it alone. I am sorry to miss out being with the group, but I am thankful Marius found some dates that worked for me. So the bags are packed and I am walking out the door for another...

4 shot group today from my 338 wm, I think I can stop messing with it. Ready for Africa in a couple weeks.

https://nypost.com/2021/02/26/woman-wears-her-own-thong-as-mask-in-grocery-store/ @KMG Hunting Safaris, just so you know, I too am planning on using my thong for a face mask while in county....

I picked up an unfired Dakota 76 the other day, I would like to have a couple things done to the rifle, mostly just iron sights added and the barrel floated. I like the Dakota sights, so I thought I would call them about sending the rifle back to them, but I can't get anyone to answer and also...

I have been looking for a couple months now, just wanted to see if anyone had one they wanted to part with. Thank you.

I didn't want to derail the coffee thread posted by @Kevin Peacocke, but seeing the number of countries visited made me think it might make a good post on its own. When I was in my teens, I made it a goal to always have visited more countries than was years old. I am 43 and have been to 41...

I have had a 300PRC build setting in the safe for nearly two years, I have never even mounted a scope on it. Now that I want to set it up, dies, and brass, are very hard to come by. Whidden can make a set, with a custom stem and bushing set for around $300. Thoughts on Whidden dies? Or if...

8lbs of biltong just went into the biltong tub, should be ready to go in 4ish days. It isn't Africa quality, but it's damn good and I love it. Who else makes there own?

This is just brutal for the company.

Veteran reloaders, if you had to pick just a couple rifle powders to last you a very long time, what 2-3 powders would you choose. Retumbo, Varget, H1000, CFE 233, H4831 and H4350 are pretty much gone. Any experience with IMR 4451? This would cover everything from 5.56 to 416s. I bought...

I think with the current state of the US and world markets, I thought I would make a thread so we can talk about what moves everyone is making. The first thing out of the gate this morning, selling SQQQ, I bought this late on Friday. I am looking at some bank stocks, Citi is going to open at...

I am pulling out early tomorrow morning for my Wyoming elk hunt. I will be leaving the compound around 6am and will be driving to Laramie, then on Monday heading up to Jackson to spend a couple days in the altitude before we ride out to camp on Wednesday. I am hunting with Trophy Mountain...

I have been putting off ordering a rifle from Mr. Forbes, I certainly hope he is building rifles for many years to come, but I think it is time I get my order in. His Model 24 rifle is 5.5lbs and is based off 30-06 family, it has a 3 3/8" mag box. I am thinking straight 30-06 or maybe a 35...

Can anyone give me some advise on the best powder to use for a reduced 44 mag load? I bought a great deal on some 200gr cooper plated round nose and I also picked up a bunch of cast bullets, also 200gr. I am only about 30 miles from both Midway and Graf's, so I am pretty lucky when it comes to...

I bought a rifle from Bob Beck a couple years ago on whim, I am vulnerable to knee-jerk rifle purchases, its a weakness I am not working on. I have had it a few years now and have shot less than 20 rounds through it, just enough to dial the scope in and then fool around. So I have decided to...

I usually elk hunt in Chama area of New Mexico, but I am seriously considering a pack-in elk hunt in either Montana or Wyoming for 2019. I want a horseback hunt and maybe be interested in adding a mule deer also. I have heard good things about Swan Mountain Outfitters, but would love to hear...

John and Abigail were born this last Tuesday night. Abigail had little breathing issue and has been hanging out in the NICU, but she and her brother will be coming home tomorrow. Mom is doing well and big sister is very excited to have someone to play with.

I haven't seen it posted on here yet, but I got a call earlier tonight from a friend of mine in the industry and he told me Jason passed away this morning. There are plenty of rumors as to what has happened, I am sure the cause will be confirmed soon, but he was on a sheep hunt.

Well after a year of planning and a ton of bothering members on here, I am about to walk out the door on my first hunting safari. I am leaving St. Louis, flying though Atlanta to Johannesburg and then on to Windhoek. I am leaving my house at 9am on May 20th and hope to be on the ground at 9:30pm...

I have tried to search for this question, but can't find anything on point. I leave on Sunday for Namibia, flying through Johannesburg. I am checking a Tuffpak with rifles and I have a pelican case I am going to pack my ammo in. It is a medium case, the 2100 model to be exact. I am just going to...

I am not an expert by any means, but I am thinking this one might be a bit hot.

Yesterday, I went to the range and shot the 375 a bit. So a bit turned into 40 rounds, let's just say I wasn't doing any pushups this morning.

Like many, I will use any conceivable reason to buy a new firearm. I am looking for a full stock, European made, rifle for my trip. 6.5x55 or 7x64 is the direction I am leaning. Please give your thoughts on you favorite full stock rifles, I am leaning towards a Heym model 21 or a Mannlicher...

Hello all, it's been a bit since I have posted, we moved into to the new house the day before Christmas and it has been crazy getting the last few things finished. I was taking a little time this afternoon to do some planning and I have been thinking about rifle cases for my trip. I have...

I have read a couple threads about the issue, thought some might like to read this article. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/africa/south-africa-sees-protests-against-murders-of-white-farmers/2017/10/30/526d7324-bd6b-11e7-9294-705f80164f6e_story.html South Africa sees protests against...

I am looking at flights to Windhoek, the most convenient flights for me leave from Atlanta. It looks like the time between plane change in Johannesburg is around two hours. Does anyone have any experience with making that connection on to Windhoek? Thank you.

New member here, I found the site in doing research for a hunt. I am in the beginning process of planning a hunt for 2018, I have a window from around middle of May until the end of June I can make the hunt work. I am fortunate to be able to hunt often around north American, but this will be my...
