    Leopard Success Rates

    I too was reluctant initially to hunt leopard. My hunting buddies were all in and soon I was swept up in the excitement. Best decision in my hunting career. I’m hooked on cats.

    What made you choose the destination for your 2nd Safari?

    First trip Namibia. All plains game on large ranches. I was like a kid in a candy store. Had a great time with my wife and friends. Great lodge, meals, AC, etc. Second trip Mozambique in the Zambeze delta for Buffalo. No fences or really any human structures except snares. Tented camp, malaria...

    375 for plains game

    Recently hunted Namibia using 375 w 270gr soft nose for PG and leopard. Shots out to 250yds and only one pass through-blesbock. It worked wonderfully.

    The .375H&H a very versatile rifle

    Recently back from Africa where I used a camp rifle in 375 H&H with 270 gr federal cup and core bullets to take everything from oryx to leopard. Browning Abolt synthetic and stainless suppressed. It was a delight to shoot and hit like lightning. I’m now scouring the net for browning Abolts

    My 35 Hawkeye African shoots 200gr Barnes ttsx very well. Recently all the way through 400 lb black bear right hip to left shoulder on a steeply quartering away shot from 70 yds. Should be plenty for eland

    QD mount leupold VX-5HD 1-5 on win 416 rem mag

    Yep that was my Warne set up. IFU says finger tight on the levers, but mine kept loosening under recoil w an extended 20 shot range session. It was with a lead sled, maybe that had something to do with it

    QD mount leupold VX-5HD 1-5 on win 416 rem mag

    Hello all! Was sighting in my new to me win 416 rem and during the session my Warne QD mount levers loosened up quite a bit. This is obviously disconcerting, and I was hoping the collective wisdom on this forum could give me some advice about replacements. Followed instructions for use when I...
