    TIPPING

    Like I said this was my first trip to Africa. I have cancer and my PH became a good friend as well as my PH. He always helped me when the going was rough including cutting me a walking stick and having one of the rangers carry my rifle on our long walks. I hunted the Caprivi and had the...

    Guns International and Gun Broker have the big bores up for sale quite often. In the past month I purchased a Kimber Caprivi in 458 lott unfired in the box from 2013. I was also able to purchase a Caprivi in 375 h&h. Both from Guns International.

    Post your top five biggest African animals!

    The claw marks on my Buff were from the two male Lions that were hanging on him. My Caracal was killed at the main camp on my last hour of the hunt. All my other animals were taken on the Caprivi.

The Christensen is probably out as it is a push feed. I will shoot the cz and the Kimber to see which one feels the best to me. The Kimber has...
