Have the same caliber and shot a maneater leopard with it.

That’s a steal for $7 an ammo. We in India pay $12 for the basic federal ammo and too we have to beg at the gun store.

Try taking a young male than a female you want regret. Axis is spotted deer or chital what we call them here and they are good eating again. Bapu

Yes Nilgai (Blue Bull ) is very much eaten here and the meat is delicious. Bapu

Yes absolutely, Adrenaline plays a great role. Barasingha is good eating but the Chowsingha ( Four horn ) is excellent and so is the Chinkara ( Indian Gazelle ) from the arid desert region.

Very well said depends on how the animal is shot. I have noticed a great difference in the meat between a well shot and a wounded animal. Habib Saheb alot of experience goes in saying that. Bapu.

As you just mentioned the price in your country SA here in India it would sell for $20,000/- I am not joking it’s true.

Thank you very much for all your suggestions. Finally picked up a leupold m8 6x.

Unfortunately in India ammunition more commonly available is S&B soft points and PPU soft points. Unless you are lucky to pickup some old silvertips

Unfortunately we don’t have excess to premium ammunition here in India. Beggars are no choosers sir.

Habib Saheb you have put it very correctly that on blue blues and even wild boars S&B break up many a times. But on leopards they don’t have weight retention as much as one would expect. In the last picture I have posted you must have noticed that it was a headshot and the bullet passed through.

My main head tracker on my right without whom hunting maneaters would have been difficult honestly “Ibrahim “ who taught me the jungle craft. Interesting have been on a few hunts with his father also as a child. They are professional trackers from a few generations.

Well a couple pictures of mine with the forest department proves that the were maneaters.

Mark-Hunter theses all look like forest leopards as they are big and dangerous. Don’t see much of a distinction honestly.

Honestly I have no experience of the snow or the clouded leopards. But yes in the books we always read about the two subspecies of leopards village and the forest. But what I have now noticed is it’s the forest leopards entering the village and killing humans coz both are big and dangerous now...

Habib Saheb honestly there’s nothing as a superior Hunter. We all are hunters here and in my humble opinion I think it’s the opportunity and the situation that makes a man of steel. When tables turn it’s your cool nerves that matters and one learns from experiences like you and I have...

Honestly I would prefer 1.5-6x42 as a good DG scope. Reticle of your preference. Bapu

I do agree. Correct medicine for leopards.

You can see the hide to my left.

Thank you for your kind words. I am aware how well you write Habib Saheb. During the second charge I had my 06 and 180grs. As I have shot all my maneaters on foot from the ground and none further than 10 yards. This particular leopard was hit behind the shoulder but a little high the shot did...

Thank you mark- hunter. I use a model 70 pre64 with S&B 180grs SP. Simple deer ammunition no fancy ammunition. And all have given me very satisfying results. For backups shotgun. Dan inject rifle. Xylazine × ketamin 2 /3 for leopards. Bapu

Just a few pictures.

Habib Saheb till now by god’s grace I have been 100% successful in taking all the man eating leopards which I attempted and moreover have identified and shot the culprit. No human kills after that. I have been fortunate to tranquil two leopards also which is a difficult task in my opinion...

Reminds of the leopard kills here. So of the pictures I have of leopard kills are absolutely shocking.

Very well put.

Lovely double would love to pick one if opportunity permits.

If your friend doesn’t pick it for some reason let me give it a try. Thanks

Is the 450/400 for sale?

Thank you very much that’s very kind of you. The Asiatic lions of Gir are looking forward to your visit. When do we see you here? It will be a fantastic exchange program as we use to call it in school visiting each other.

In In my humble opinion my friend has put it very correctly and his comments are true to the fact. All protein wasted. Unfortunately we believe in conservation and not wildlife management. Less said is better.

Beautiful rifles. Hope you could export them to the Indian sub-continent one day. Big market here in my opinion.

Sent you a pm.

Which reticle? 6x fixed power isn’t to much for a rimfire. What’s the objective? Thank you

How is it compared to daimondback. Thank you

Is this a crossfire II or a daimondback. Thank you

Which of the 3-9 model. Thank you

Looking for a Rosewood butt any leads? Thank you

Believe the Freedom’s don’t focus well ? Is it true? Thank you

Glad do let me know. Thank you

Which one is it? I mean which of the leupold and what’s the objective? Thank you

Am looking for a rimfire scope the old 2-7 leupold preferably in mint condition or anything decent. Thank you

Am looking for a rimfire scope the old 2-7 leupold preferably in mint condition or anything decent. Thank you

Advise a leupold freedom 2-7 or vortex daimondback 2-7. Thank you

Not being manufactured anymore I think.

Should I go in for a vortex daimondback or leupold freedom. Thank you

The freedom line is not great as I am told

How are the new freedom line of leupold rimfire line vs vortex daimondback rimfire.

Unfortunately they don’t have the butt plate. Looking difficult some how. Now that’s a great scope. Am from the old school so looking for something more simpl Unfortunately they don’t have a Rosewood butt plate which came with the rifle originally. Any other source. Thank you

Yes this scope I am considering.

Don’t know if they would set parallax today as they are very busy.
