I have a copy of this book and his "African Medium Game Cartridges" I refer to to both of them quite often. I am looking for a copy of his "African Big Game Cartridges".

Thanks Shawn that answers my question perfectly.

Can one of you Mauser experts please tell me if the bottom metal for a mod 93 will fit a mod 98? or does it need to be modified?

Gary, pm sent.

WOW!! I think I started something. Thanks for your opinions Guy's. Hogpatrol if I was you I would take Sambarhunter up on his offer before he changes his mind, thats too good an offer to pass up. Ray B you got it in one as to the odd long shot for me being 300 -400 yards. Whilst I am more...

Thanks Guys, The Rifle I am going to put it on is a Mod 70 Win with Iron sights, while I dont intend to use it as a long range rifle the country I hunt in occasionally gives up a 400mt + shot thats why I went with the higher magnification.

Thanks Sambarhunter. I have cameras on both the big scrape and the Red wallow, you are quite correct there is a leaning tree over the scrape but it is out of frame. The messmate tree rubs had me fooled as the whole area is surrounded by about half a dozen of them, if you look in the background...

Mail is on the way SambarHunter

Thanks Guys you have given me a few different options I had not considered, I might have to be on the look out for one of those so called "improved" rifles and do the right thing by it. Failing that I think I will rebarrel a second hand .375 H&H, this would probably work out as the easiest...
