Sounds great, enter me!

They are really good rifles Nick, I took mine to Africa. Sent you a PM too, having just bought a double, mine is for sale. Cheers

10 days hunting with Infinito Safaris At this stage looking at Kudu as my no 1 priority followed with Bushbuck, impala, warthog, gemsbok and wildebeest. As with any hunt, also expecting to come across other game I hadn't considered.

Well, the flights and half daily rate are now paid for. Hunting mid Sept and can not wait!:) Currently looking at Kudu, Gemsbok, Impala, Warthog and Bushbuck.;)

I'd reckon the woodleigh 300Gr round nose projectile would be a great all rounder - plenty of impact area up the front to transfer energy to the game.

G'day jerome, thanks for the reply - I have been looking at a hell of a lot of outfitters over the last month - looking at coming across in Sept next year. Also considering Bluecliff Safaris. Dalerwa have got some really good reports from their references. Trying to do Kudu, Gemsbock...

Does anyone have any experience with this outfit Dalerwa Ventures for Wildlife? They have a good package on at the moment and I am considering a booking. Cheers

Enter me!!:):D;)

Its still a little uncomfortable to shoot, although it recoils alot less than it does with the fullpower 500gr loads. With a 405gr pill loaded at 2300 Fps you are still a good 300-400 Fps in front of a 45/70 depending on the rifle/load. That said, most 458 Lotts are heavy rifles and the...

velocity in mine was kept down to a tad over 2300Fps with the 405 gr load

I just took my 458 Lott up to Cape York (far North Queensland in Australia) and shot two scrub bulls and a few pigs with it using thin jacketed 405 gr projectiles made by an Australian company. Shots were taken from 30m out to around 130m and it performed very well. The only issue I have with...

Nice oscar, good looking timber on it too. I have a Lott in the Ruger RSM which is also a nice rifle. look forward to hearing how it shoots.

Hmmmn, a dream rifle - high class double with all the trimmings in a classic calibre, probably a 404 for me.

I own a few big bores (bolt action) and will pick up a Ruger no 1 tropical in 375 H+H in the next year or so when they become more readily available. I am of the opinion that a single shot is the ideal rifle for most hunts (culls excepted) as any hunter who plans on taking more than one shot at...

The BLRs are nice rifles. I think you would also be surprised by the quality of the marlins, mine has been accurate and very dependable. It is also capable of handling stout handloads with no issue. As for DG, probably not, there are better choices out there. That said, any of the thin...
