I’ve got an itch to hunt Zimbabwe. I’m sure there are a lot of members here with lots of experience in that country. I see plenty of YouTube videos with various outfitters hunting in some of the more renowned locations like the nuanetsi , nakasanga, the Omay, the dande, and matetsi. My question is less about outfitters and more about the locations. I’d like to hear about the good and the bad. The difficulties of reaching the remote areas and the types and quality of game. Let’s...

I’ve never agreed with the philosophy of spending more money on a scope than I did the rifle and I still don’t. I’m a died in the wool Leupold fan and they’ve done everything I’ve asked of them.

I have about a half dozen VX1/VX2/Freedom models and they work fine. Very basic but more than adequate...

My daughter isn't a hunter.

She's not an "anti-hunter," just a non-hunter.



She owns a handgun (S&W 380 EZ) and she can shoot very well.

She's only 5'2", so needs to get shoulder fired firearms that fit, but at a price point that is not excessive.


"Santa" gave her a Pointer Acius O/U 20 gauge for Christmas. The LOP is fine, but the grip is too large for Jack Dempsey.


Recommendations on 2 rifles?

A Ruger 10/22 will probably be one.


The other???
