I’ll be there for the AH dinner in Atlanta Friday night. Chase

I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and feedback! I’ll have to make a final decision fairly soon. I’m already having the back skin turned into leather. So I suppose I could have the cape turned into leather products as well. Definitely would have a lifetime supply as all I can think of is a couple...

Meaning to ask this question for a while. Long story shorter. I did my first Safari in Mozambique in 2023 and killed my first Buffalo. A 37.5” bull. Nothing exceptional trophy wise, but I am extremely happy with him. Had a fantastic hunt! I had planned to do a wall pedestal mount with this...

Cooposo did a great review! My thoughts will be much shorter. I use a pair of Zulu 6 10x30s. Got them specifically for Africa, now they’re my exclusive bios I carry on my chest. The IS is a game changer. The alpha glass will have better light transmission, and better glass overall. But I would...

Hi 375Fox, I think you misinterpreted what was being said. Red leg said suppressors were not mentioned in Mozambique firearm law. And that suppressors not being mentioned did not make them legal, but put them in a grey area. My argument is that if it is not specifically called out as a...

My experience is I took mine in 2023. Everything went smooth and no issues going in or out of customs in Tete. My outfitter said it was legal to bring it. My pH told me many of their clients now bring suppressors with them while hunting in Mozambique. So I’d say times are definitely changing...

I would agree. But by the same logic, if it’s not called out as being illegal, then that makes it legal, correct? The list of legal things is much longer than the list of what is illegal. So if it’s not called out as illegal, I take it as legal. I trust my outfitter who operates in the country...

FYI Suppressor are legal in Mozambique. Plenty of buffalo and other DG killed there every year.

Yes that is correct. I generally calculate my tip as a dollar amount per day, per person. The combined total tip was 18% of the Hunt cost before tip. Those hunt costs include daily rate, trophy fees, airport transfer, ranger fees, VAT on day rate - trophy fees - non export fee, and...

I figured I’d jump in and comment on this thread as I find it interesting. And possibly partially my fault. I did the exact same thing a few years ago in 2022. I hunted my first Buffalo in Mozambique in 2023 with the same set up. Model 70 .375 H&H. Cut the barrel down to 20 inches and had it...

That’s the beauty of hunting, we all have different preferences in style and gear. Everyone likes something different in optics. What works for one person may be terrible for me, and vice versa. Some even recommend not taking any binos Personally, I’d rather leave my rifle at home than my...

“IMPORTANT: make sure you are using the current 4457 that does NOT have an expiration date in the top right corner. Old ones expired.” Javaman, All your info is spot on. If he’s going somewhere other than Africa than making sure he is using the new 4457 is important. But for anybody going to...

I’m amazed only 1 person has mentioned the Sig Zulu 6 in this thread. Specifically the 10x30...

You will do quite well looking for a big croc on the Cahora Bassa. I took a 15‘4“ croc in October 2023 in the same general area you’ll be hunting. You can’t throw a rock without hitting a 12 footer. 14 footers are easy enough to find in that area. Over 15 are harder to come by but possible. We...
