If you want to go, don't hesitate, sign up! I went this year with my brother. We were the only ones to sign up, so it was very very small group. There was one other hunter in camp. A nice fellow from France. Photos of my trophies: http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv103/HRBang/050709AHWKudu1.jpg Th...

I got a 22 magnum a couple of years ago. After a trigger job by Todd Toenges, it is my favorite rimfire.

Grab one if you can!

I was taking my relatively new Marlin 1895 apart to clean from the breech and removed the finger lever screw without opening the action part way. I could not get the lever or the bolt out. I got the screw back in, but the action is jammed with the lever down about 1". How do I unjam without dam...

Hello everyone, I am one of the three people signed up for the 2009 Leverguns safari in South Africa. My brother is one of the other two. I have not met the third yet. We need more people in the party! To this end, I am going to describe why I am going and my preparations. Perhaps it will get one or...

From the old Peter Capstick books (Death in the Long Grass), the aiming point for a charging buff is the nose as the horn boss covers the brain. This...

Let me put it another way. Say you make a good shot at say 50 yards on a nice buff. At the hit, he turns right at you on a dead run. Would you rather have in your hands:

A. 45-70 lever action
B. 375 H&H (or 375 Ruger) bolt action

Either with any load you desire

Hello all, I am new to this forum, but I have been "lurking" for some time. I finally signed up because I would really like to go on the next levergun Africa safari. To this aim, I have recently been checking out rifles for Cape Buffalo. I wouldn't hunt them in South Africa, but my plan is...
