I’m so glad I didn’t get the tattoo I 100% agree on all the cool guy stuff. Just wish I was the one who sold stickers to these kids. I wouldn’t have sticker shock looking at the rigbys!!

Seems like the is quite a bit of love for the brownings!! What you guys have shown are some of the nicest looking rifles I’ve seen. Thanks for all the input!

Looking through the classifieds and article on rifles I don't see alot of talk about browning rifles like the x-bolt, x-bolt ii or A-bolts. Is there a reason or am I just missing the right articles. The Medallion rifles look very nice and seem to be fairly accurate on the few reviews I have read...

My wording on “Modern Classic” meant to me was a gun that could be purchased new or fairly recent. This was simply due to thinking that many of the guns you have all suggested would be out of reach both financially and obtainability. More or less I wanted to know which newer guns would be worth...

USN, Thanks for the heads up on the Benelli. I do like the looks of that!

I didn't purposely put a budget so I would get multiple opinions. But realistically I would like be $2500 or less. The main reason being is I am not sure at this point I would appreciate the difference. My knowledge and experience with rifles is small. I am a typical midwest whitetail/turkey...

The Ruger has my attention. I already own the 77/22. These rifles would compliment each other to hand down to my son and seems like I already have a platform I am used to if these rifles are as similar as they appear. Understandably different going from 22lr to 30-06.

Looking to buy a new/new to me rifle that I plan to use for my future African Safaris. Looking first for a PG rifle probably a 30-06 after reading much on it and hits history. My plans are to have this gun for many adventures and put some of my own history into it. If all goes like I have...

Mark-Hunter, Thank you for your informative reply. It is very obvious that you have much knowledge and experience in African safaris. As I stated everything I have learned has been through reading, and watching videos, and speaking with people. Zero first hand knowledge. Hence the reasons for...

Thanks for all your replies. This is why I asked these questions and I meant no ill will towards any of it or anyone. I am just the average guy and hunter here in the states. My main passion is turkey hunting and it took me years to say once in awhile I have a fighting chance with them. I have...

For the last couple of years I have more and more found a interest in going to Africa. After winning a safari and learning what that is all about I recollected my wits and started doing proper research. I have spoken with several good people on here and have read as much as I can, up to this...

I wouldn't take the chance. I just always liked the look of these guns and thought this would be a good reason to get one. But finding this out, and after watching a few videos, the accuracy really seems to be an issue. Thanks guys

Thank you for letting me know. Is there a certain reason? Is it just being a semi auto?

Is there any more of an issue traveling to Africa with a semi auto rifle like the Browning bar or the Benelli R1?

Just a new guy here trying to learn all I can. But this seems to be a topic I can voice an opinion on. Regardless, Lion or Sable, Whitetail or pheasant, when I hear some of the reasoning for CBL is so that more people can afford it I lose interest quickly. This is life. Where do you stop with...

New question guys. And I am only asking on this post since I started it and I don't want this question to be turned into a big debate. I am just looking for clarification so I can make a better decision. Can someone please explain the fencing, ranches, game farms and concessions? I am not so...

Philp Glass, Thanks for the upfront advice. This is exactly what I am doing now. I have went from zero to 100 and back to zero in 3 days. At first I was excited just to win until I figured out what was going on. Now I am researching everything and asking questions I hadn't even thought of. The...

Thanks to everyone for the advice. You guys really step up on these matters. I would never imagined getting this kind of response so quickly. I have learned a lot in the past 24hrs. Now, after waking up from my dream state of winning an African Safari and realizing it was just a marketing ploy...

Well it must have been my lucky day at the NWTF show. lol I just got another email saying I won their hunt also. Starting to see I must have shown the most attention. I'm sure both of these places are legit but it starting to feel a little slimy. "Pick the most interested guy and he will surely...

I appreciate all the advice and it appears I have even more homework to do than I thought. Are you guys saying the prices on the Hercules website seem rather expensive compared to what you have paid at other camps? I definitely believe you get what you pay for and I am not sold on this place...

Limpopo delta of south Africa is what their website says. All this is brand new to me as I just found out yesterday that I had won. I apologize for not being more specific. I will learn more in the next few days.

Impala and wildebeest

JImP_Thank you for the advice and help. I will definitely check with Travel Express. As far as guns I was thinking of using theirs to save on the hassle of traveling with guns. What is your thoughts on this? IvW_I didnt pay anything. It was a drawing at the NWTF show this past weekend.

Just this past weekend I won a 10 day 2 animal safari with Hercules Safaris. I am beyond excited. This was something I was planning on doing in the next 5 years but it looks likes my plans are moving forward faster than I expected. This is my first post on here but I have been reading for quite...
