The older Rigby .275 High Velocities were made for the 140gr. Not sure if they copied that barreling for the new guns. Non HV 275’s shoot the heavier 173gr FMJ stuff better. Rigby also made a .275 Lite Rifle for a period. My specific example is a 275HV Lite Rifle and shoots the 140gr Rigby...

My post wasn’t referencing the shot rather the meat that Ontario was discussing so not sure why I was quoted. To answer the OP’s question I personally see nothing wrong with or unethical about taking a bedded animal IF you’re confident in your shot and understand how the animal being bedded...

You’re comparing game farm hunts and North America processing standards to wild Africa. The people buying you’re game farm processed meat might care, but the hundreds of thousands living in the plywood 3 sided shanties or in the mud/thatch huts in the concession areas of wild Africa don’t care...

Beautiful Dark Giraffe

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

Very well said. Sometimes, though not ideal, it’s necessary.

Glad to see you’re doing well and the herd is growing. How were the females that were pregnant? Hoping your herd grows a little more in the near future.

Every time I see your trophy room I’m amazed. I think it’s very tastefully done and you pick great complementing decor

There are several restaurants that serve wild game in Windhoek, and most safari lodges will cook and serve the prime cuts of the game you shoot throughout your safari. Namibia is a great country to hunt and offers some great opportunities at some very sought after Plainsgame species in their...

You’re 100% right just like on a fight. Make that first hit count. Side note, Grant Taylor has his old area in Mozambique right? I know you’ve hunted with Grant so thought you might know better.

I understand your logic and had it myself. It’s why I’ve owned 1/2 a dozen or more doubles over the last 5 years. I tried to get in on the cheap side (despite everyone’s warnings) and wound up selling and moving to the next tier very quickly because something was lacking at that tier or price...

Great video and exciting hunt. Knowing this hunter personally, it was great hearing the story from him and seeing the footage last year. He’s been on another couple of really cool hunts and has some great doubles.

There was recently a used Chapuis Iphisi for $10.5k, there’s a new one at Gordy’s for $13.7, there’s a VC for $9k, and there was a Merkel 160 for $13.5k a few months ago. All these were on common sites and searchable with a few minutes of looking in your chosen caliber. If you know and talk to...

If @DirkPieters is who I think he is, he does professional filming and is already in Africa.

100% - I’m also skeptical that all the people saying 375H&H will spend $10k on one. I’d bet it’s less than 10% of the people commenting own one if/when it drops. The other thing to think about is once launched within a couple years the production costs will have it becoming a 12k gun, then a...
