    3 Dangerous Game Safaris, 2 rifles only, wich calibers?

    I've taken 26 big 5 with 17 taken in 12 months. My recommendation would be 458 Lott for buff and above. You can shoot normal 458 win mag ammo on the buff. I do not recommend the 338, had 2, rather the 300 win mag is better. A 470/338 combo doesn't help longer range shots on big five if needed...

    Status of Lion Hunting in South Africa?

    I just hunted 2 lion there I picked up at the Phasa auction. The day before I arrived, I found out baiting had been closed and is now illegal. This is not well known. Yes, I got 2 and did enjoy the thrill of hunting by tracking. Without baiting, success will drop.

    Double on Buffalo

    I just got back from a cull in SA. 2 singles, 2 doubles and the grand finale a triple. 458 win mag. A-square dead tough ammo. Started June 2 late and finished June 9th 830 am. I was the only hunter, Darren Baker PH. As you could imagine, each is quite a story. Had videographer and have plenty...

    Best make for Doubles

    A sin because your cheating on your reliable guns. I wanted a double for a second gun to be handed to me when first is empty and to approach/ finish dangerous game. 2 Elly, 2 Buff, 2 Lion and 1 rhino this year. Should be some Adrenaline...

    Thank you Monish. Heaven knows if I use it. New guns are a sin. You want to Do it, but better you don't. Love is a trustworthy gun. With proven ammo, a Marriage. David K Reinke Copyright 5-13-2010

    Best make for Doubles

    Thank you for the clear headed response. I have 7+ big 5 to take this year and do not want a PH to assist til at my feet, otherwise, what's the point. I bought a 470NE S2 Blaser as I am experienced with the Blaser safety and grew adept at it. Regardless, as the sages wisely point out, I have not...

    Hmm. Seems like every PH should ask his client to get a Blaser so he doesn't get shot the second they load and forget to put on safe in the heat of the hunt. A PH may have different requirements then the Hunter.

    Managing Recoil

    Time for humour. A master hunter was carrying my 375 blaser in Namibia and somehow the recoil pad came off! This, at the beginning of the Safari. The outfitter, Peter Thormahlen, ducktaped a sock to the Butt. I proceeded to collect the Rhino, Lion and a wonderful collection of game. We took...

    Muzzle Brake?

    My first Beautiful Custom 458 Win Mag cracking is why my second was cared for with Magnaport. Ask Sean Grant. I wish their was more open discussion on recoil reduction methods with Technology here such as powder load, grains of lead, recoil reduction systems etc to make the Forum more friendly...

    Muzzle Brake?

    Honest answer First off, Gander Mountain and many Gun shops in the USA filled their shops with muzzle brake guns believing they were the wave of the future to sell guns. I with others discovered the horrors of them on the 338 Win Mag I bought. I bought an end piece for it and ended up replacing...

    Biggest Lion in Africa

    Barbary Lion Actually appears to be a Barbary Lion which is a Subspecie from the North. Barbarylion.com. If it is one, I doubt it's huntable. At up to 650 lbs, impressive to imagine. Born in the wild, 100% wild is 100% ethical and 100% pure lion hunting. Passionate subject.
