@Hunter-Habib thank you very much for this. I would also love to have your recommendation when it comes to bullet weight and if you consider equivalent bullet constructions, for example: Buffalo: barnes TSX (full copper), is it only 300gr you would recommend? can the 270gr do the job as well...

Hello, Thank you for your advice. I will admit that I am definitely not starting out with 375HH because of big balls and confidence, as explained, living in Congo comes with a lot of constraints (no gun shops, no shooting ranges, no gunsmiths). I bought my rifle from a hunter that was leaving...

Hello, Thank you for the detailed response. Indeed I have already ordered the quad sticks with the new scope rings. I have decided that I would not be seated, leaning on a bench for the next time I go out in nature, will either use table and kneel or stand (that way back upright will allow to...

you dont hold the fore end?

That does look like a nice support! I have decided to order some quad sticks that should be with me end of the year. Yikes for the injury, was it a scope bite? eye relief issue? or just not holding fore end ?

yes that is certain, just took off the scope, looks good a part from some minor scratches on the finish, nothing deep

I am pretty sure that there is a psychological side to it all, but as you say, need to practice and see where I am, but I definitely found it more manageable when standing

thank you for that!

Thank for for the videos and ideas, indeed I do know what the quad sticks are, I think I will buy some this christmas when back in europe. completely agree about starting out with smaller caliber, unfortunately no really possible for me as there are no shooting ranges or rifles available! But I...

That is nice, and I can definitely see how shooting standing will allow me to roll better with recoil. Issue would be that I would need to pack everything out and probably build something far away from home, not practical when we are hours away. Will consider if we go with a few cars out next time

Hi, Yes in Congo, but the other one RC (Brazzaville); forest buffalo, bongo and sitatunga... Indeed I definitely wish I could learn on something smaller and work up, but here no access to rifles, bought mine off a departing hunter, and here 375HH is what eveyone uses, nothing else available...

Hi, No I do not reload, not possible here, no gunshops or gunsmiths. But it is a good idea on the bullet weigh, I will factory 250gr bullets next time I am in europe. Interesting point about the lead sled leading to scope damage.

Hello Everyone, I am creating a thread to have some advice and help on the sigh in of rifle scopes when considering "heavy recoiling" rifles. Let me give everyone some context and as much information as possible. I am a new rifle hunter, deciding to get into big game hunting this year...

yeah that is a good point, it does seem more comfortable in that scenario then the method in this picture....

Ahh that is it, thank you; I did not think of the stripper clips. So something that came from the military rifles. Picture by the way is from fanzoj by the way.
