    My Quest for the Big 5 (kinda…)

    I’m seriously considering cutting the barrel to 20” and fluting it to drop some weight. The weight is good when you are shooting it on the bench to zero, but in the field, the recoil isn’t noticeable, so the weight just adds more to carry. I’d also love to find a pad for the forend. Safari...

    My Quest for the Big 5 (kinda…)

    I finished my hunt and am headed back to the US. I’ve decided I’m going to put my hunting stories on this trip together and submit to a magazine. Hopefully I can get them published somewhere. Think my kids would love seeing it in print one day When I’m too old to tell the stories. Or to correct...

    My Quest for the Big 5 (kinda…)

    Doing the big 5 can get expensive, but Africa hunting overall isn’t that bad. You can get there for a little over $1000 and you can hunt a bunch of animals for a few hundred each (as long as you are after representative animals). I’ve seen multiple packages at my local SCI banquet go for minimum...

    My Quest for the Big 5 (kinda…)

    Thank you. It was a great experience. It made me want a double rifle in the end. Maybe I am the traditional big game hunter…

    My Quest for the Big 5 (kinda…)

    I made a few mistakes and I think I got bad advice in some areas. Overall though, it was a great experience.

    My Quest for the Big 5 (kinda…)

    Thank you. The elephant hunt was my toughest. I walked a bunch of miles for that elephant. Couple days without seeing one after tracking them. Then the successful hunt was 9 miles over hills and we shot him within 100 yards of a road. Just wish he would’ve walked in that area from that road and...

    Yes, this elephant should be exportable. He was harvested on a Zimbabwe National Park quota. The USFWS takes the import on a case by case basis, but everyone involved said they weren’t aware of a single case being turned down under these circumstances. So, I should be able to import them into...

    My Quest for the Big 5 (kinda…)

    Planning: My quest began 5 years ago. I bought a hunt for plains game in Africa from a charity auction. I took this trip in 2019. I added a Cape Buffalo to this hunt as my first Dangerous Game hunt. The outfitter wasn’t able to provide the Buffalo on his concession and I was sent to another...

    Rifle Scopes Bighorn hunt: Z6i 2-12 vs LHT 4.5-22 vs March 1.5-15 vs…?

    I built a XM length 7 SAUM on the anTi action with Bartlein CFW barrel and XLR magnesium chassis. I‘m using Hawkins Long Range Hybrid rings and love them. Would highly recommend them.

    Another hunting scope thread, but with a twist…

    Been looking at the Vortex Razor 1-10. I like the reticle. After spending some time looking at the TT Hunter, I might try to find one. Even if it doesn’t work for me on this rifle, I have several other rifles that could find a new scope. I’m starting to lean towards two scopes for this QC...

    Another hunting scope thread, but with a twist…

    Here’s the situation, I started on a little hunting rifle project with Jon Beanland last fall. We were planning on building a 300 PRC and 375 Ruger switch barrel rifle using a Terminus Zeus QC and XLR chassis. I have an extra ZCO 4-20 in my safe room that was going on it. I’m going to Africa...

    If these don’t sell, my plan is to replace the GP tubes with WP. Maybe I can get spec sheets on the tubes at that time and move those tubes. Thanks for the suggestion about contacting L3. Someone needs to buy this set before I have to spend more of my hunting budget on them!

    I don’t have a spec sheet and I’ve never turned them on. I’ll get them out this week and fire them up. I’ll post pictures when I can.
