Beautiful rifle. I really like the bolt mounted peep sights on these Rigby rifles!

I took rifles with 3-9 scopes to Africa and never moved them off of 6x or so. I would love to see more of the fixed 6x scope being offered rather than those high magnification versions with knobs to turn to adjust. I never had an animal stand still long enough to fiddle with adjustments before...

^^ This. Then use it for a Garmin Chronograph.

Don't know the truth of it, but my dealer told me Beretta will only import the Bavarian model if there is an order for it.

Great rifles. Took mine to Africa and shot three animals with it. GLWS

I have a Sako Bavarian Model 90 in 6.5x55. I is almost a boring rifle as it seems to shoot anything I put thru it well. Rings were a bit of an issue, but I do like the rifle, especially the single set trigger. So far I've put about 120 rounds thru it. My Steyr (recent) is a PH III in .30-06...

Darren or Jennifer at @TRAVEL EXPRESS!

I have worked with Darren on my two trips to South Africa and would recommend them to anyone traveling over there. They have the expertise and will reduce the possibility of travel issues.

I took my Ruger African in .275 Rigby in 2024 and took a Springbok, Impala and Golden Wildebeest with it. Used 160 gr Accubonds and essentially all were one and done. Bullet placement is everything.

When you look at the cost of airline tickets and the safari itself, practice ammo cost is not as relevant. Reload and the cost drops even more. I have more faith in my reloads than some of the 'factory' rounds I've shot recently. I also run EVERY round thru my rifle to make sure it chambers...

Any chance you have any of the Baagh Shikari: The Last Tiger Hunter books left?

Many thanks to @Rare Breed and his sister for hosting this event. A fun time with great hospitality and Africa stories to spare. Your efforts were greatly appreciated!

I would like to attend, if it is not to late.

For more interaction, check the NRA site for instruction. The NRA does have reloading instructors available and there might be a course close to you to attend.
