All of my friends have their 23 trophies back now. You probably need to check with your outfitter. I know loosing the exporter created a bottle neck even after trophies were released.

I have killed a pile of great animals with montec G-5s. It would be cool to expand my brand loyalty. lol. A little off topic, but here is a pic of my last montec kill.

It was one of the brand spanking new weatherby DGR with the fiberglass stock. I like the Weatherby rifles too. However, we have always had the synthetic stocks. Dad had a mark v in .300 wby that he took all over the world and killed a ton of stuff with. I have a newer one of the accumark...

I did. I think a lot of it comes down to preference, but it’s a good looking rifle to me. It’s a proper rifle for an overseas hard use trip.

My friend just got one in .375H&H. I was impressed with the quality. Action was very smooth and fed great. We only had time to put a few rounds through it each. Hopefully he and I will connect for a range day soon and I can make a more informed post.

These guys are a total scam. Someone with connections at DU needs to put a stop to this.

I am sorry for you loss. My feed today has been filled with disgusting articles regarding this tragedy. The British papers seem to be these worst about exploiting these tragedies.

Just a bump to see if there are any updates. I can respect the company getting everything sorted before bringing a product to market.

I don’t think that’s true at all regarding the .450/.400 having more commercial offerings. Hornady, nosler, and Norma have factory ammo. There are number of smaller semi custom ammo makers that load formative as well. As far as I know, hornady is the only one loading .450/.400. I’m sure...

I think it’s the perfect client caliber. It hits harder than the .450/.400. It has excellent penetration for elephant from any angle. Recoil is manageable. Capable of longer shots if paired with an optic.

Did they charge you overweight baggage fees to bring all those lucky horseshoes over there with you???? Good luck with the ele tracking!!

I keep telling myself not to get sucked into these Kuche threads, but I just can’t help myself. What a totally shady policy. If I had more time I’d buy a rifle or whatever to get one of their “free safaris” just to see first hand how crappy it really is.

The reality is that nothing replaces shot placement. If you do your part, the .375 is more than capable. The larger calibers offer a bit of margin for error in the event of a near miss on the brain shots. Sometimes the heavier hitting calibers will stun on a near miss giving time for a...

Sounds like a good time!! Something tells me that the short notice won’t be too big of a hurdle for you.

I’ll add to what other said. What you witnessed is pretty typical of rural America. It’s crazy the ideas you all get about Americans. When I was 18 I spent the summer staying with an outfitter friend in Limpopo. My girlfriend came over at the end of the trip and we decided to go spend a...
