Shorts of course

Yes, I’ve used the Viper’s and the Blaser sticks but I prefer the quad’s from PH-jagt from Denmark. Last October I was able to shoot a black wildebeest at 300 yards from those sticks. Love them.

I only use short pants.

We were stalking along the borders of a lake to find a nice hippo bull. At a certain moment we saw a croc resting on the sand at only 20 yards. The PH asked me do you want to shoot a croc and my answer was yes. So I shot the croc in it’s “smile”, it moved it’s tail only once and it was finished...

This thread explaines a lot to me….I’m living in Europe and for some years now it’s impossible to find any swift A frame’s here on this continent. I was able to buy 416’s in Nashville last January but it’s a bit expensive to travel half the globe to buy some bullets. Next time I’ll also buy 9.3...

Roedeer, red deer and wild boar in the Netherlands, plains game in Namibia in august (with bow). Black grouse in Norway late fall.

I’ve taken several buffs, hippo, croc and plains game with the 400 grs Swift A Frame in .416. They performed perfect. Unfortunately I can’t buy them anymore here in Europe, CCI primers and Swift bullets vanished.

Having Blaser’s for more then 20 years now. Started with five R93’s and changed these when the R8 came in the market. Six stocks left; only one with beautiful walnut (I almost don’t use it) four professional Success and a GRS laminated stock. Five barrels 243/30-06/8x68s/9.3x62/416rem.mag.; I’ve...

54 in 2015 with a friend to Namibia and 60 on my trip to Tanzania in 2021.

Welkom, Zimbabwe looks to me as a better country to hunt then our low lands….

Ordered at Brownell’s Benelux….Grauwolf is not allowed to export American made bullets to the Netherlands anymore.

For reloading my .416 rem.mag. I’m looking for the Swift A Frame bullets in 400 grs. I searched several web stores in Europe but I can’t find them. Anyone a good suggestion for this matter?

In Europe there‘s only one good show and that’s in Dortmund but even there the number of foreign outfitters and country’s is very limited. Because I’m doing some research for new hunting trips (Alaska, BC, Zambia, Zimbabwe) I was wondering if the conventions of SCI or DSC are bigger and have...

I’ve the GRS sporter and when you love accuracy this is a perfect stock. I use it with my .243 with heavy barrel so recoil is not an issue.
