The prep starts properly!
6 weeks till my Zambezi Valley Buff hunt and the excitement is starting properly now! Air ticket for my dad is booked and I'm getting my gear organised.
Finally found some Norma PH softs for the .470NE, which is a relief as thought it may end up being solids all the way. We don't have all the choices here in Zambia. Decided on Hornady DGS for the solids with an opener of the Norma PH soft as an opener. Seem to both shoot nicely in my Krieghoff.
Done a bit of range shooting, but got a bit of Clay shooting planned for 2 weeks time to get the eye in a bit and then just a final couple of rounds with the .470NE to confirm its all working well.
The only part that needs a bit of work is sighting the 9.3x74R. battled to find a spot to shoot, but now found a great guy nearby who lets me shoot on his place! So final sighting and then all systems go!
Camera and Bino's packed, camelback packed, GPS (just for fun) and Video camera for the oldman to take some footage with.
I am so looking forward to some good fire time with my dad and a chance to hunt Buffalo!
Good wine will be packed, as will a GOOD cognac! For the rest I'm pretty sure the HHK guys will have it covered! - Suppose I'm lucky that I can take quite a bit of stuff as I will be driving down from Lusaka.
WHOOOO HOOOOO
