You might use MTM dry survivor box...that is what I use for extra ammo box. You can lock it and it does not weigh much. Fits into my Tuffpak no problem. There are two sizes but for 375 you will need the larger. Before that I used an inexpensive metal cash box. I took out the coin tray. Has...

Would love to join you but we have booth and guest to worry about. Come see Tuffpak at booth 4527 upper level. Better tomorrows and Merry Christmas to all!

Besides the tick spray my most important pc. of clothing is my Shannon Bug Tamer jacket which has been on every safari so far. Saved my buns several times. Great camo too.

Y0u did great...now go kill something :).

We used a Browning Lever Rifle in 7/08 in Namibia in 2000. I am looking at our Gemsbok now. Must have worked fine. Another rifle I have that would be fun would be my Remington Pump in 35 Whelen. I grew up on a Rem. 870 Pump 16 ga. so shucking a forearm is not strange to me.

I have a Westley Richards and a George Gibbs in 505 Gibbs. I need a red wagon to carry either. Both are beautiful. Think I will just keep shooting my 416 or my 404. Easier on the body. The worst recoiling rifle I ever shot was a Westley Richards 8 bore double that was stocked a tad too short. My...

I don't have photos to share but maybe someday. I have five (Wilkes, Mauser, Rigby,Win., FN) of the 7x57's and three of the 9.3x62. My takedown John Wilkes 7x57 is a joy and a killer. I have a FN double trigger 9.3x62. The custom Husky 9.3x62 which has been to Africa twice with me. It is a joy...

Welcome to the 404 world. I have a Christopher Funk (1926) and a current CZ rework by Lon Paul. You built a very nice 404. I too shoot the 7x57 and 9.3x62. I have several of both. Better tomorrows!

Help...I have 300H&H,338 Win Mag, 9.3x62, 35 Whelen,3.75 H&H, 404 Jeffery, 416 Rem. Mag and 505 Gibbs. I sold my 416 Rigby.

I wish I had discovered this cartridge much earlier in my hunting career. I have three of them. One is a Husky that has been with me twice to Africa now, one is a CZ that I gave my son as a gift and so I could get his grubby fingerprints off my Husky and the latest purchase in this caliber is a...

Thanks for the welcomes. Firearms interest is mainly rifles and especially those made in the early 20's and 30's in England, Germany etc. I enjoy hunting the spiral horn animals and Cape buffalo. Better tomorrows!

I do like your choice of calibers. I have multiples of all three of your calibers chosen. You should be well served.

Howdy from the SW corner of D/FW airport. Just joined and looking forward to getting to know the various member. Native Texan and now in planning stage of 5th safari. Have enjoyed TZ, RSA, Namibia and Zim to date. A lover of fine firearms. Better tomorrows!
