Thanks for sharing this. Makes me wonder if I don't have pics, or super 8mm movie film, of him as a youngster from a couple of days in Tsavo back in 1980. RIP Craig.

The J.W. Marriot is right across the street also and a great place to stay.

That is a beautiful rifle for sure, but yeah maybe a bit too short. I just can't imagine the brake being that close - Ouch!. We have my father-in-laws old .460 Wby from the 70's. A work mate of his got it for him to go to Mozambique with, but he never used it there as the Portuguese left and...

No. It was only stunned when it was shot and as we didn't want to keep it as a trophy, the guide wanted it as he said someone would want to have it mounted. Apparently when they die their colors fade some, but if you can get it frozen immediately after it dies you can preserve those colors. So...

Items have been sold. Looks like we have a winner! Congrats to @Ray B. Hope you enjoy it all!

Yeah I hear you. I added $50 in this sale to cover the shipping, but probably should mention that if the costs end up being less than $50 because your location is close, I will just do it for $600 and the actual cost.

Well, I hope you get your truck going soon. I did the transmission in mine last December, so I feel your pain on that chore. :E Strong:

I boxed it up yesterday and it is 45 pounds! Box feels like a treasure chest for sure! :)

No worries. I did see your PM and replied to it.

I recently acquired a very large assortment of reloading components from a local gentleman. Although I reload for 30 odd calibers, 270 is one I never landed upon. So I have 270 Win Brass and .277" bullets that need to go. I am going to list these as one lot with the hope that I don't have to...

Great report. Nice trophies and enjoyed the details! Thank you for sharing. We are looking forward to meeting up with Conrad in 2026! I have used Mr. X a few times, including last fall here with my daughter. It's always a pleasure to see him and his service is top shelf for sure!

Nicely done Fatback! Thanks for taking us along here.

I load Barnes 150gr TSX for my daughter's 7x57. Velocity is 2520fps measured about 10' from barrel. She has killed a lot of critters with that load. It is a stock, Ruger model 77 with a 22" barrel. Here is a pic taken last November in Zim. Taken with one frontal shot at 165 yards. Also see...

Welcome to AH bro! :) Hope you enjoy the forum - loads of great experience and info to be found here.

I recently posted this on another thread, but it fits here....note what he says about the failed one and penetration..... I like to leave ammo for the PH's when I go. I left a batch of 270 gr, in 375 H&H cal for a PH and he sends me pics of bagged animals which I enjoy receiving. He uses TSX...
