Be safe, have fun and take lots and lots of pictures! We expect a full report along with a photo essay! ;D THAT'S THE PLAN!!!! Thanks Guys....I'm having a hard time sleeping (I hope I'll get over it on the plane though)!!!!!!  Went to the range today for the final field shooting exercises and I think as long as they post orange dots on all the animals for me, I'll be okay!  ;D Rifles are cleaned and ready for final packing. All the Best, Stump |

Africa!?? Must be nice. I have a Winchester .458 mag. I shot me a coyote and a jackrabbit with it. It worked. |

I would love to make it to the Dark Continent one day but I probably won't . If I get to go, think I'll take my Win. 1886 .45-70 for big stuff, like a cape buffalo and eland, and my .58 Hawken for everything else.
