But nothing beats a Mauser 98 action with the right cartridge. In this case a rifle from August Schüler in Suhl.
World's most popular community & resource for hunting in Africa since 2007
Which gun system to bring back ?

The return of some large "bore" rifles would be interesting.

Except that a semi auto is not easy to get into AfricaBecause it’s already been done.
GI BAR 458 WM
And the AR platform (with greater ammo capacity) allows you to stop the charge on a whole herd of Cape buffalo.
Thus the Blaser.

I didn't say it would be easy. Something worthwhile rarely is.Except that a semi auto is not easy to get i to Africa
But yeah, the Blaser gets it done in style.
What he said though i doubt it will be possible to have the same quality control as a 1964 model.

I was talking more along the lines of a 1918 BAR not a mark 2 Safari.Because it’s already been done.

I don’t know if it counts as a comeback or not but I would like to see options for reasonably priced double rifles on the market, no reason they couldn’t be manufactured for under 4k if some of the bigger companies picked them up.
I would like to see a resurgence of safari style bolt guns in the bigger bores say .375 and up. Again this competition would make the prices better.

Ruger RSM and CZ 550 Safari Magnums (especially the later ones with the barrel bands).

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
