Good morning from Western NY

Welcome sir. I hunted with Marius last August, as a matter of fact the buffalo in my avitar was taken with him in the Timbavati up in Limpopo. After that we flew back down to the cape where I hunted PG with him. Your in excellent hands and you will have a trip to remember forever. PM me if you’d like any additional information.

Does your wife use the 300 Win Mag. as well? I used Barnes 225 Gr TSX bullets in my 35 Whelen for my first African hunt.
I load my own and they may have been traveling a little faster than most. All shots on Waterbuck, Gemsbok and Blue Wildebeest were pass throughs. None of them traveled more than 40 yards. Two didn't make it half that distance. No follow up shots were required.

She has a new Browning X bolt LH in 7mm-08, I'm trying to decide on a bullet- maybe a 120 TTSX or 140 TTSX, the groups will dictate which one to use.
I have yet to recover a Barnes rifle bullet, they have always given me two holes to leak from. I did recover a Barnes muzzleloader bullet after going stem to stern in a large whitetail doe.

Thank You Sir!
I was most impressed with Marius from the beginning and I am sure we made the right choice with KMG.
Nice buffalo, I'm thinking maybe 2020 or 2021 return for buff.
 
Welcome to the posting side of AH!
 
KEC, my "vote" for the bullet to use in your wife's 7-08 is the 140 Gr. That is a fantastic caliber for deer sized game.

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?
