Many American hunters firmly believe European optics are the finest in the world. A few years ago Cabela’s recognized this widespread notion by introducing its 10x42 Euro binocular, made by Meopta, a company with a long and successful history.
Roy Weatherby’s pursuit of hyper-velocity in elegant rifles sealed his slogan. Weatherby rifles shot flat and hit hard, after all. Seventy years later, they still do.
In the early 1870s, famous hunter Frederick Courteney Selous—then in his early 20s—obtained permission from King Lobengula of the Matabele to hunt for ivory in the area west of the Gwai River, northward toward Victoria Falls. His legendary adventures are well documented in his 1881 book. American Hunter contributor Philip Massaro recently decided to follow in Selous' footsteps and craft his own African adventure.
