ZIMBABWE: Upwind Of Dinosaurs. Hunting Bull Elephant In Mateke Hills

Outstanding adventure! Not sure how I missed it the first time around. I have become a solid believer in that R8 thing.
 
Like I’ve been telling you for years buddy, you can’t have them all! lol

Thanks! Yes sir. Those R8’s definitely carry their weight. Such a compact, accurate, reliable package. I was thinking about what you’d probably say about me using the iron sights and 458 Win Mag. In that I should have had the 375 barrel bolted on and a good scope. May have eliminated all the fuss!

By 72 the whole open sights thing is much worse.
 
Late to the party, but thanks for sharing.

Great write up and Congrats on that Bull!
 
Congrats on a great bull.

You should at least put a Red Dot on that barrel, old eyes and iron sights don't mix.

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
