    375 Rifle Choice

    I've had great success with a Leupold VX III 1.5-5x20 with the #4 reticle. Made 20 to 300 yard shots with it. Deadly accurate combination with the LH Model 70 2005 New Haven Safari Express, .375 H&H. I hunted factory Remington 300 grain A Frames. I handload several different bullets for it...

    375 Ruger vs 375 H&H

    I also bought a late 2005 LH Mod. 70 in H&H. Two safaris and 1400 rounds later, I will never sell it. It's going back in 2013 to the Selous again. Two buff on it and lots of plains game. One shot kills with the buff. The H&H has a record of 99 years of uninterrupted success. That's all the...

    Zambian President: our wildlife is fair game

    Simply put, this will lead to wholesale slaughter. Wait and watch the butchery. Zambia's tourist hunting industry will soon be toast.

    Great story. Up to your usual standards, I'd say.

    Why are so many sportsmen afraid to post negative hunt reports

    Don't forget Usangu and Zahir Mulla. He ripped off so many people he's banned from any convention and after all that, he's still in business. He was in a show in Dubai the other day, or maybe it still hasn't come off, but he's still out there doing his thing.

    Never go into the hunting area without...

    An Eagle Tac pocket flashlight and my Swiss knife. That knife has been around the world at least a dozen times. Also, a small first aid kit with Immodium and a good laxative. I carry a fanny pack that I leave on the truck with odds and ends.. spare camera and flash batts, maybe handi wipes in...

    Hunting Accommodation - Luxury or Basic?

    I've had both, and prefer the luxury accommodations. Why not? If I want to rough it, I can erect a tent in my back yard and live there for a week. Absolutely nothing wrong with hot and cold pressure water, flushing toilets, a wash basin, a camp generator, comfortable double beds, white...

    Poor Responses from Hunting Outfitters

    We use a booking agent, although going direct to an outfitter is perfectly acceptable. I use Wendell Reich at Hunter's Quest International in Dallas. Using a booking agent is well worth the effort. They can smooth over the inevitable rough spots, be it recommending a quality outfitter...

    Should I take an Extra Gun

    In 2011 we're either returning to Tanzania or going to Zim. I'm taking a .458 Win with a short barrel, and my old faithful .375. That way, I have a backup for the .458 and the .375 for everything else but buff. Last trip in July, I just took the .375, which did well for everything with 300 A...

    Bullets Choices for 375 H&H Multi-Species Hunt

    In my limited buff hunting experience, I've used the .375 H&H. After my last hunt, I bought a .458 Win. The recoil is not noticeably greater than the .375, and I'd like a 450 grain A Frame moving at 2150 better than a 300 grain moving at 2500. But that's just me, and I don't have a lot of...

    Which is the hardest Spiral Antelope to hunt in South Africa?

    Yeah, up in Limpopo bushbuck are tough. So tough I didn't get one, anyway.
