I have the Big Game in 416 Rigby with a Leupold 1-6X24 Firedot and used it on buffalo and plains game a couple of times in Africa with success and took it to Australia for a buffalo hunt in the...

    Scope eye - who has been cut by their scope?

    Yes. Sitting in a brush blind on a water hole in Limpopo. Group of zebra came in and I leaned forward in my chair with my 416 Rigby to take the shot. The cut wasn't too bad and the zebra went down quickly.

    Water Buffalo (Indian) - how are they to eat?

    I hunted the water buffalo in Australia. I was surprised when we didn't keep any of the meat to eat in camp. My outfitter said it wasn't edible--that the Aborigines don't like it, either. Cape buffalo in Africa, however, is quite tasty.

    Another Texan Joins the Board

    Welcome from another Texan. Lots of us on here. You should consider Quagga Safaris for your first hunt. I've hunted with Eric and his team 4 times. Great lodge and food, great game and first class service.

    Argentina Dove Hunt Questions

    I am leaving next Friday for a dove hunt near Cordoba. Have been wanting to do this trip for years and finally put a group together. My question is about tipping the staff, bird boys, etc. Do I need to get Argentine cash or will US dollars be ok? Any of you guys who have done this trip...

    What was your first African Animal?

    A gemsbok in Namibia in 1987--it was still SW Africa back then. Used my father's pre-64 Model 70 30.06 with a Leupold scope that dates to the 1950's. One shot at about 150 yards.

    Heym versus Rigby

    Rigby guy here, especially regarding a DG bolt action rifle. {love my 416 Big Game} I've considered the Heym doubles as they are very well made and way, way less expensive than a Rigby double, but I haven't purchased one--yet. {Maybe the Shikari is priced competitively to a Heym, but the rising...
