    Recent RSA taxidermists experience

    We have used Bullseye for about 15 mounts. They do excellent work and have excellent service. They also did an excellent job with the shipping. We went to Bullseye after a very bad experience with Trophex. (Heads-up) I Don't think that it gets any getter than Bullseye. Brian

    SOUTH AFRICA: MATTANJA HUNTING SAFARIS

    Fugazi, That 416 Rigby sure works on buffalo. On my buffalo hunt this year the PH stopped a full on charge at 10 yds with a 416 Rigby. ( I messed it up with a borrowed .375HH, with a one lung shot. Long story, I don't wanna to talk about it. chuckle.) I have always yearned for a double rifle...

    SOUTH AFRICA: MATTANJA HUNTING SAFARIS

    Thanks, Excellent bullet! Perfect performance. I use it in my 577 NE and Cutting Edge Bullets ( Raptor ) in my 50-110 Win. It is really "buffalo hunting" when you get close like that. Well Done! PS. I love shooting the .375HH but I don't use it any more for buffalo. ( I have killed 6 buffalo...

    First Dangerous game capable rifle

    Why not a Dangerous Game lever?

    The 45-70 loaded hot and the 50-110 Win for cape buffalo. Use the best bullets. I use Cutting Edge Raptors and Solids. (There are other great bullets too.) There is a lot of daylight between the "best" bullets and at the "average" bullets for cape buffalo in my opinion. In the last few years...

    First Dangerous game capable rifle

    As far as I am concerned the .375 HH/Ruger is marginal for cape buffalo. They usually run at least 30yds. with a good hit. Sometimes a lot further. Is that what you want? Brian

    I have done several stocks for H&R Handi rifles and it sure makes a nice rifle out of them. Yours is very nice, better than some of mine. I did one for my 577 NE stub barrel job. and taken it to Africa for buffalo. Thanks for posting the photos. brian Gallup
