Anyone have any ideas as to where I could line up a non-trophy elephant hunt using my S&W 500 revolver? (Don't laugh - it's been done!)

I took a large stink-bull giraffe with it back in 2006. One shot in the neck and the ground shook. I plan on using 440-gr. punched bullets, or 600-gr. hard lead. I've taken elephant before, but that was with a Searcy .577.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike

I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
