Anyone have any experience with the Kenetrek Safari hiking or Desert Guide hiking boots?
 
Both Excellent! Have had 1 pr Safari and 2 Desert Guides and now the newer, lightweight hiking variant (like a higher quality version of Hi Teks.) I believe one of them might be waterproof (a plus,) soles of one may be better for Africa. The absolute MOST comfortable boots worn EVER, and I had problems with other "premium" brands in the past on 15 mi daily walks in Africa! Desert guides suited me well out W. as well. Son said the flatter, less agressive sole on the (Desert or Safari? they're usually sitting right in front of me but I don't see 'em now lol) was a bit slippery in AK, but other than that (he's wearing my old pr still, after 10 yrs of hard hunting!!!) 1st in 2014, 2nd in 2017, 3rd in 2022-all fine still. :) I used to buy em from Europtic, but occasionally pass by this new OI place and can simply try and buy when in the neighborhood. With summer nearly upon us and African hunting in-mind, check out their newer, lightweight hikers (also a bit less costly!)

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
