I always have wondered how the PH's and similar thst live there avoid trouble?

That's a management muley? Jeez I'd be happy with that as a trophy!

I specifically stated that this was not to be a debate thread because I know what I want and...well that's it. Seeing as it keeps coming up and although ben has answered it earlier I don't want USD quotes because I'm not American. And the exchange rate makes every hunt cost around 50% more when...

I don't think those types of countries are within my means otherwise I would certainly consider them.

During the british raj, this calibre would have been known as the 275 Rigby if this rings a bell? The late great Jim Corbett used it on some tigers and leopards as well as deer.

They no longer are imported into Australia, replaced with the new push feed line (557?). I think that fed some of the rumour around them being discontinued. Mind you Australia just stopped having the last blackpowder substitute imported in so I'm up shite creek with my inline smoke pole now...

G'day, I'm moving away from taxidermy as it's becoming too expensive locally, I'm getting what will probably be one of my last done at the moment and it's the price of an NZ hunt just about. I also like that I can pick up my euros and still play around with them rather than being a static 3D...

Yeah I saw the video, I asked them in the youtube comments and then on this forum who they hunted with but they never got back to me.

Thank you, I apologise I should have mentioned that I'm after cape eland. For what it's worth, I've always said if I could hunt one animal in the world it would be a LDE but they a bit out of my price range.

Thank you for the replies, I didn't expect to get as many private messages as I have. I'm just about to head off on a fishing trip for a few days so I'll reply once I'm back. Thank you.

Hi, Firstly, please note that this is not designed to be a debate thread. I'm all for people doing what floats their boat, this is simply what floats mine. I have spent probably 12 months really toing and froing about what to do in 2021, somewhere between burning my Wyoming preference points...

Those rifles were around $2k new in Australia prior to going out of production. Good deal.

Great pics, gosh leopards are beautiful.

I'll say, man I want to get in close to those things one day. What camera are you running? Great snap.

Apologies! Keen to hear how it pans out.
