Swaro EL 10x42… if buying new today I would get a pair with built-in range finder. No matter the model or power, IMHO there is no better glass than Swaro. YMMV. One other thing is to ditch the Kuiu or similar bino pouch we use here in NA and that have become a bit of the fashion. Very loud...

2009 911 Turbo coupe (997.2) with manual 6-speed transmission. One of only 50 imported that year so a bit of a unicorn in the Turbo world. 2009 was also the last year of the legendary Mezger block, hence the vanity plate.

Please congratulate your wife on some beautiful photos!

Love the AI response, +1 for Trust but Verify!

Beginning to acquire the bits and bobs for a .358 Norma build - intrigued by 35 caliber …

Incredible shot under pressure.

Wow, what a find! Super cool!

+1! Both Spectacular!

No Barnes experience on plains game (they make a killer muzzleloader bullet tho!). In my experience, 300 WM for sure with 180 grain Swift Scirocco II bullets. They seem to be a bit harder than Accubonds and punch a hole clean through plains game of various sizes from duiker to zebra (about...

OMG - I love that buff detail! Have never really been a gold inlay/detail guy but I love that execution!!! And, CE solids are the bomb!

Good luck on the sale. Please PM me if you will part with some 375 Ruger brass independent of the rifle sale. Thanks, Javaman

As a new member I expect to be viewed with some suspicion in transactions involving money. My sense is I need to build up a little trust by sharing experiences and commenting on things I know something about, building relationships as they come along. It’s too bad those a$$holes scammed you...

I ran both a .375 bolt action of my own making (REM 700 platform) and a Model 70 in .416 two years ago in Africa (buff, zebra, others). Picked up a lightly-used Ruger No 1 in 450/400 3” NE for this May’s DG Safari. Rifle scoped with a Leupold VX6HD 1-6 and low Alaska Arms left-side QR scope...

Heck of a bull!

Eastern Cape 2021 with Blaauwkrantz. Left 50 1/4”, right 48 3/4”, right and left bases 9 6/8”. Was SCI top 100 at the time (about number 96), now surpassed.

Excellent! Thank you!

Hey BeeMaa - been thinking about that paracord mod on my viper flex sticks - something the Brits do a lot for stalking - details are a bit tricky to find on how folks do it, in your “spare time” maybe you could post a couple of detailed pics on your paracord setup (where and how tied), would be...

Small pocket flashlight - small enough to have a hat clip … used so many times to find my dropped glasses in the deer blind, find the path out at night or dig out car keys. Also helpful to get a cold beer from the cooler when back at the truck after dark on safari!

I have a set of Viper Flex Journeys and like them a lot - used on three African safaris with a fourth coming in May. Bought them from Holland Long Range - they break down into a travel pouch and easily fit in tuffpak gun case. I like them because they support both the front and rear of the...

Even though you’ve found a bullet that works - On Cutting Edge bullets … we shot two (2) buffalo plus a host of other game (Gemsbuck, eland, zebra, etc) in 2022 with Cutting Edge Safari Raptors - on game performance was unbelievably good- massive internal trauma. We are taking them again in...

Well done! Enjoyed it thoroughly!

This just in from Edwards, whom I contacted about installing a reducer in my 450/400 3” NE Ruger No 1 … “Thanks for the email! I started chemotherapy last week, so Edwards is currently closed. It will be several weeks before when (or if) we reopen, so I’ll stay in touch. Thanks for thinking...

Greetings! Having done a lot of lurking over the past five years since my first trip to the Eastern Cape with a 300 WM that I built on a Zermatt Arms action and factory ammo, I finally decided to join the group. Hunted a very wide old buff in 2023 with a Model 70 .416 RM that I hand loaded...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I found the above info helpful to me last year in Limpopo. YMMV. Cheers, Javaman
