The USA has labelled both Canada and the EU as threats to their "National Security" in order to justify new duties declared by their military Commander-in-Chief on the international trade of steel and aluminum. So I suggest that USA made products such as firearms and ammunition should be sold exclusively within the USA so Canada and Europe can help our esteemed neighbour defend themselves and improve their national security. Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that Canadians and Europeans...

Is there a Safari 'Easy Button' ?
Back in the day when I was doing 200 roundtrip flights/year (glad that is in my rear view mirror), I had a travel agent that was my 'easy button'. All I had to do was give her a call as I ran through the airport and by the time I hit the ground on the other end, my travel issues were resolved.
So is there an 'Easy Button' for Safari that can take care of everything from flights, guns, safari, layovers, transfers ... ? Not that I can afford such a service, but while doing my initial...

Ruger M77 African 6.6x55
Simply rejiggering my collection according to my current interests and hoping someone would put this rifle to good use more than I ever will.
I worked up a load when I first got it, probably 80 rounds through it all together.
Zero handling marks or blemishes of any kind. We can do a video call to go over it.
For those who haven’t handled one of these M77 African rifles, Ruger/Lispsey’s really knocked it out of the park, particularly the slenderness of the stock.
I think I have this rifle...

Buffalo or plains game?
Hi all. I am planning my next trip (my fourth) to South Africa. My first trip I took a buffalo cow and a few heads of plains game. On the second and third trip I took only plains game. I'm now debating...do I do a mixed plains game hunt or do a proper buffalo bull hunt? Several factors are weighing on my decision. Price is of course a consideration. If I do a buffalo hunt, additional animals would be limited, which is the next consideration. One primary animal, and potentially only...

Power-Point / Core-Lokt bullets in Africa?
Hey,
Who has used standard bullets like Winchester Power-Point or Remington Core-Lokt in Africa?
How did they go?
Now c'mon guys, before the barrage of replies saying,
"Why would someone skimp on a non-premium bullet when going to Africa?"
Or
"The bullet is the least expensive but most important part of the trip..."
I know that. I do.
If I were to go, I'd use the Australian-made Atomic29 premium copper hollowpoints in my 425 Express and .300 Win Mag.
But I'm just curious about people...
