@RIGBY I own a Highland Stalker in .30-06 and think the existing configuration is excellent. I don’t think Rigby buyers want a Highland Stalker without iron sights. The original .300 Win Mag Highland Stalker Magnum was launched without them, and I note that the current Magnum has since...

My .30-06 loves 180gr Barnes TTSXs, and they’ve been extremely effective for me on everything up to scrub bulls. On small deer they can actually be a little hard and sometimes don’t open significantly, but that’s not the problem you’re dealing with here. For African plains game, and...

Mine loves factory 180g TTSX. They have been so effective that I don’t worry about reloading for it. Two shots on the shoulder of this scrub bull were complete pass throughs. Also went end to end on a donkey so penetration will be more than adequate for Eland. Good hunting!

I just had a local gunsmith install these on my Rigby Highland Stalker. He clearly didn’t have a clue what he was doing. The pivot is not aligned and the hind ring wobbles all over the place. There are no other gunsmiths in my state who do this sort of work so am going to do it myself. Couple...

In my case when I saw that my checked bag didn’t make it on the plane i got a message off to my PH. By the time I got there he had sourced some 458 Lott ammo so I could still use my rifle on my buffalo hunt.

@EXECUTIVE HUNT AFRICA Great deal! Can you post the price list for other animals available? Also some info on the area, size etc?

Great battery, almost identical to mine: a .30-06 and a .458 Lott. In my .30-06 I'm running either the 168gr Federal Trophy Bonded Tip or the 180gr Barnes TTSX. Both have performed very well, but if I were heading to Africa I'd be loading the 180gr Barnes. It's a tough, reliable bullet that...

Don’t know why you keep selling yourselves short @BAYLY SIPPEL SAFARIS . Biggest buff is 52 7/8! I did this hunt with PH Nic in 2023. Incredible property and very exciting hunting.

Wow, great animals. The Kudu is a dream animal. I’ll be chasing one like that for a while

Hi, can you please post some more info? Size and details of property, inclusions/exclusions etc. Cheers

My Highland Stalker in 30-06 love the Barnes ammo with 180g TTSX. Shoots under an inch at 100m. I have taken everything from deer, donkeys, wild dogs to a scrub bull with this load and it worked perfectly. Barnes also loads a bit hotter so it shoots as flat as the Federal 165g tipped trophy...

Great story. I’m looking forward to seeing photos of the old bull. With how much goes into the dugga boy award it needs a hard copy book. I pick up my copy most times I’m in my buffalo room

You’ll get away with it sometimes but not worth the hassle when you don’t. I’ve been pulled off flights twice. One time heading home from Joburg and the case had been in my bino harness for the last 4 international flights since I left Aus!

458 Lott does the job. I want to move to a 500 double though just for fun
