Hi Edge, thanks for the quick reply! Ok, so it helps with the muzzle flip which is great! Have you found it assists with actual felt recoil?

Hi Edge, did you end up getting an Edwards fitted, and if so, how are you finding it? Thanks a mil! Marshy

Howzit all! Thanks for the replies and for getting this thread up and running again! And thanks for making the call and keeping us informed, Eventually_Africa! Unfortunately I can' phone internationally from home or work (and I'm based in South Africa) so email is my only way of getting hold...

Hey everyone Sorry for the necro post, and for having not posted in a while. I wanted to find out if anyone knows if Edwards Recoil Reducers is still on business? I mailed them the other day about their MAX reducer for my 375H&H and haven't heard anything back. Thanks very much! Marshy

if you were in SA, i'd be able to help... Selling 100x 416 Rigby cases for R1000 (That's about US$100)

270win 308win 375 H&H

Howzit Bart HS Precision doesn't ship internationally :( So I'm looking for someone who wouldn't mind posting or couriering it over to me :) I'll cover all the fees of course ;)

Thanks for the replysestoppelman! If i was to transfer you the money, would you perhaps be willing to purchase it for me over there, and then courier it over for me? I'll obviously pic up all the costs :rolleyes::)

Hi there gents Me again! :D As you know, i live in South Africa, and looking for some assistance from my friends from across the pond... I'm looking to purchase a new Winchester Mod70 Sporter, but would like to replace the stock with an HS Precision, synthetic straight sporter stock -...

Hi Brickburn, i think Bertus is referring to the local powders we have available here in South Africa. Bertus, kan jy asseblief skryf engels vir die mense, maar hullle kan nie die taal praat of verstaan nie. ;)

Hi everyone and compliments of the season! I trust you all had a great Merry Christmas and a festive New Years Eve! :D Looking for a bit of assistance from our friends overseas.... A few friends and I over here in South Africa are looking to get hold of some Tactical gear, namely vests...

Hi Gents Me once again! :p I need your valued opinions once again... I got a phone call yesterday about a Ruger M77 Magnum for Sale, in 416 Rigby :D (for those interested it is going for R12k, and that includes brass, bullets, and dies). The rifle has only fired +-40 shots, but shows slight...

My personal choice would be the Win Mod 70 375H&H (being one of the new one's out of new haven), restocked and fitted with a Duane Wiebe XRM, so to take 4+1 :) Otherwise looking at your options, go for the CZ for 15k, sell the original stock, and use the funds and difference (20k budget, so...

Hi Obelix, They're designed and made locally here in South Africa, and marketed internationally around the world. Most hunting enthusiasts here in SA that reload swear by the likes of them and GS Customs. Both Perform flawlessly and are definitely considered "premium" bullets.

hi Plongeur! sorry only getting back to you now! only just checked my mail.... i know it's probably late, but any idea if the rifle might still be available? Thanks! Ryan

Of the 3, definitely go with the 222

Just my opinion, but I'd stick with the Lott :)

Hi Bart PM inbound! :)

The aim is to put an animal down as quickly and humanely as possible, without it having to endure any unnecessary suffering. To purposefully and intentionally wound any animal is seriously unethical, and i'd like to see that person on the receiving end rather. I was once told by one of the most...

Werdus, I'm with you on that! Haven't seen it done and it would be SERIOUSLY frowned upon by most. It's seen as unethical, as animals have to drink, and people shouldn't take advantage of the situation.

Plongeur, Could i ask who 'smithed your 6x45 for you? also, what did it cos, and do you know anywhere where i could find a mini Zastava action? :) oh! and try the 100g flat-bottom bullets :) i believe that might solve the problem ;)

Hi guys Has anyone got- or had experience with a Ruger Hawkeye African in 9.3x62? I'm on the prowel for a 9.3x62, and the Ruger looks like a serious option :) Thanks! Marshy

hi gents I've been reading your thread, and hope that i'm not hijacking it... The 6x45 has a serious following here in RSA! And at one stage, factory ammo was readily available. A 6mm bullet of 100g traveling at +-2300fps is deadly medicine for up to blesbok, and some use it on even larger...

If you handload, you could also look at getting a 6x45 built :)

F.L.A.S.H. , Great review a few months back done by Koos Barnard in the Magnum magazine. Google them and check them out - lot's of options available, and any fire arm dealer can get hold of them. i know some models are now available with bull barrel , fluted barrels, stainless steel, etc. and...

1stClass, Could i ask which outfitter you used? I'm based in Natal, and am just interested in which you refer to

I was looking at the stock, but noticed its manufactured for use with a Sunny Hill Drop Magazine (something i don't have), also, I'm looking for something without a cheekpiece (on a wooden stock, wood look at a having an H&H / pancake cheekpiece, but would prefer to not have one on the...

Andries, you wouldn't possibly be tempted to part with your 404 would you? ;)

What did your rifles set you back from Sabi Arms? :) I'd love a 404! but cost of reloading is a pain.... Alan Henry (here in Durbz) quoted me about R40 000 for a custom rifle....way out of my price range

Phoenix Phil, Thanks for the complement! Although we might all be on opposite sides of the world, i think we're all part of the same community, and really believe that one can never learn too much! :) and so I'm looking forward to hear everyones thoughts, ideas and opinions :) I've had a look...

We get most of the big names out here in RSA, and CZ is by far one of the more popular. For my 375, I'm pretty set on the Winchester Safari Express. I love the balance, weight and feel. The barrel profile also suits me, and i like the fact that it comes with a barrel band (one less add on for...

Alcornoque, if possible could you please forward me the contact details for the gunsmith? :) you can PM them to me if you like :)

Enysse, I love the feel and balance of the gun, i just wish i new where to find a replacement stock? I'm looking for either a "premium" synthetic stock, or a high / fancy grade wood stock. And getting one built here in RSA can be a costly affair (some quotes of approximately R20 000 =...

I've been eyeing out there site for quite some time :) only problem is being on the other side of the world, its a bit of a nightmare to send it in to them to get the work done (never mind a small fortune), so unfortunately the site only provides me with ideas at the moment :) I'm a big fan of...

Hi there everyone. I've been a member of the site for sometime now, but never got around to introducing myself and so decided to finaly introduce myself. I'm a 24 year old guy from Durban, South Africa, who's spent his life growing up between Durban and the Eastern Cape (my home away from...

Hi there guys I'm pretty new to the forum, well, posting on it anyway. I've been a member and avid reader for some time, and have come across an idea I'd like some help with. I'm based in South Africa, and from what i can tell, most of the members on the forum are based States side :)...
