    Lever actions in Africa...

    Wow, great photos Michael458. In my 6 trips to Africa, I have only hunted with revolvers and lever guns. In 2019 I took an impala, zebra, wildebeest, and klipspringer in Zimbabwe with a Browning 71 in .348 Win. In 2021, I took a Klaserie buffalo with a Turnbull 1886 in 50-110. I also took a...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Klaserie Buffalo Hunt

    Hey Certus, There is a thread on **NOT**PERMITTED** in the big bore levers forum entitled "Turnbull 50-110". I shared some details on my 2021 Klaserie hunt with the 50-110 in that thread. I don't think I've ever took the time to post a story of the 2022 Zimbambwe buffalo hunt with the 50-110, I've...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Klaserie Buffalo Hunt

    Thank you for your compliment on my bull and my Turnbull 45-90! This is my second Turnbull rifle, my other one is a 50-110. This year's buffalo is the first animal I've taken with the 45-90. I used the 50-110 on my Klaserie buffalo in 2021 and I also took a Zimbabwe buffalo with it in...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Klaserie Buffalo Hunt

    Thanks 30.06king! We were driving down a road one morning just after sunrise when we spotted this bull elephant about 100 yards off the road. I said to John, "I'd sure like to have a closeup photo of that bull with the rising sun behind him. He said "hold on" and drove the land cruiser right...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Klaserie Buffalo Hunt

    Thanks sideshow, yes that was an awesome encounter. We observed/photographed that leopard for over an hour. He jumped down out of the tree and strolled right in front of the land cruiser. A group of hyenas showed up and he climbed back up the tree. We drove off, literally right under the...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Klaserie Buffalo Hunt

    Nyati, thank you! We were photographing a leopard in a tree at sunset, near the skinning shed at Klaserie. (photo credit goes to John Luyt, he's an awesome photographer in addition to being a wonderful PH) All of a sudden, the leopard jumped down out of the tree and just casually strolled in...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Klaserie Buffalo Hunt

    Hey 375Fox, I think that it's more about hunting from a more primitive camp (Timbavati) vs. a lodge (Klaserie). I much prefer the primitive camps, but with my crew of non-hunters accompanying me on this trip, I chose to book a lodge in Klaserie. We stayed at Camp Elgin and it was VERY nice...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Klaserie Buffalo Hunt

    WAB, that's cool! :cool: That's a great old bull. I've never been a trophy hunter so my tag was for an old hard boss bull in the smallest bracket in regards to horn spread. To find an old bull that was "small enough" proved to be quite the challenge! We never even saw buffalo until last...
