    416 Rigby and filler

    I've cut Kynoch wads down and used filler in a lot of calibers with no problems at all, it just burns up , and best to keep the powder column squared up within the case for consistent ignition. That being said I've shot a 416 rigby a lot and never felt the need.....take some pics if you can of...

    What Will Banning Of Trophy Hunting Result In?

    I hope African countries ,(and other locations around the world) have the courage to stand up to the whack jobs (europeans and these idiots in the US & Canada) that seem to be screaming the loudest against the true and natural way of life that hunting provides. We are at odds with truly empty...

    Tsetse flies

    My last safari to Coutada 9 in Moz they did the same thing, works like magic. Those bugs are annoying. I also used skin so soft bug repellant/sunscreen and only had been bitten twice by the end of a 10 day safari, where i had missed application.......and the place was alive with tsetse flies

    RJ Renner "Old Africa" Model 70 Upgrade

    The point is a rifle can be perfect one way or the other, happy medium is not perfect for either.

    First time to Africa question

    I too make "official looking custom labels" and clear tape them to new plastic cases. Headstamp has to match gun as previously mentioned and you won't have any problems.

    Parkwest SD-76 Dark Continent Rifle in 375 H&H – First Impressions

    Scopes are all personal preference and opinion. that rifle is beautiful. Parkwest/Dakota being employee owned now is producing better guns than ever. Their equipment has all been modernized and the pride they are taking in their work is at the highest level. IMO the best value in new...

    The current chapuis iphisi has the same ejector mechanism. Contact a memeber here named tom Leoni, we work together, he is the product manager for chapuis at benelli USA,….he will put your mind completely at ease. If anything goes wrong they are completely fixable.

    RJ Renner "Old Africa" Model 70 Upgrade

    I had one of the best rifle makers in the country tell me once that, “you either build a rifle for express sights or an optic, not both”.that doesn’t mean you can’t put a scope on a express rifle, but both sight platforms won’t be completely natural. There is such a thing as a comb to “high”...

    SCI Record Book- The World Hunting Awards, Continental, & Milestones.

    I agree that it's important to document what's coming from where as far as genetics etc. Everywhere I've hunted it seems that the pH's or outfitters do keep track. I measure things just so I know what I just took from this world. My personal choice is pins, plaques, badges, levels blah blah...

    Who prioritize fitness for your upcoming and future safaris?

    It's hard., I travel for work, my body is shot from mountain bike crashes, football injuries, etc. It's easy to hate the gym, I try and walk a lot, and bike a lot, but even that is hard to do in Michigan 5 months out of the year with winter. 30 Years ago I could run a 4.5-40yrd, now if I went...

    416 Rigby take-down

    Just taking the action out for the stock makes it pack down small. I don't know if I'd pay for the takedown feature unless it was Weibe. The Dakota/Parkwest is cool too and reasonably affordable. I just pack the full length rifle in the light weight single Boyt travel case, in its soft case...
