WANT ONE

I don't think you're going to be upset with the performance of your 30/06 On any of the animals you plan to hunt. On your eland shot placement will be important but don' think twice about its ability to do the job as long as you are up to the task of putting the bullet where it counts. Don't...

I used a 180gn nosler accubond in my 06 last year, warthog to eland ranges from 70 to 250 yards in south Africa. 2 recovered projectiles weighed 110 and 115 gn these were from my eland (110) and leche (115) the damage to the internals of all my animals was incredible and the trajectory of the...

I just want to bring up a question here, at the moment I'm using 200 gn woodleigh pp bullets in my 338 06 that are doing 2800 fps I can also achieve this with 200 gn etips, i have sighted in at about 1 inch high at 200 yards which should give me about 6 inches of drop at 300 yards which I'm yet...

I have a 338 06 with a 200 gn accubond or etip I get 2800 fps at the muzzle, my friend owns a 330 Dakota and gets just a shade under 3000 fps. I honestly haven't seen any advantage in the magnum over the 06 in the hunting situations we've been in, this experience is not that vast, mainly limited...

Very nice mate, can't wait to have a proper look at it.

Well, I had the opportunity to look through Steiner's, zeiss conquest, Meopta, Kahles and decided that with all of them I would be likely to want to upgrade at some point so I went with the swarovski SLC straight away, I figured I'd happier right from the start

I am currently looking at the SLCs and wondering whether the viper HDs would be as good. Unfortunately I'm nowhere that I cab try a pair of viper 10x42s I was trying 10x42s SLCs this afternoon as well as Meopta 10x42s and swarovski CL 10x30, the CL were clear but nothing on the SLC, the Meopta...

Looks like the a frames worked, I've never used them but also never seen a bad report on them. also love the Eland bulls, they have to be my favourite African animal! beautiful bulls! congratulations! and 1 day I hope to invest in a nice double!

I never thought about hunting a lion, didn't interest me 1 bit, but after being in South Africa earlier this year and hearing of an immature male or possibly a leopard killing a young Kudu bull not far from our lodge my mind was completely changed, I was really hoping we would find a fresh track...

Terrible thing to have, went through some of that when I got home, then I remembered why I had it, I'd just been to hunt Africa, wow, it doesn't get any better than that.

Yep, went planning on 6 or 7 ended up taking 10 animals and started making plans for a return trip!

I had a list of 6, Kudu, Gemsbok, Blue Wildebeest, Zebra, Warthog and impala going over, as I knew I wanted them, I also had Eland in the back of my head as an animal I really wanted to hunt if a good bull presented, red hartebeest was an animal I had no interest in, they seemed funny looking...

I came away from my African hunt feeling like I had just hunted with life long friends even though we had only just met. Even my travelling companion and I had only met 10 months before we went on our trip, and I couldn't have asked for a better crew to hunt with.

I am the same as everyone here, the entire African experience is 1 I hope to remember for a long long time. But the animal that sticks in my mind is the Eland bull I got on the 3Rd day of my hunt. There were 4 Eland on the hill, 1 very long younger bull and a mature full mane bull. Initially we...
