Double Rifles Working in the Bush

Here are a couple of mine. Niassa Buffalo with Rodda .500 NE. Gaza Province Elephant with VC .500 NE.

I have hunting just south of them (twice) on Mutemba.

Good area to hunt!

Put one of my 88b 375 FL Mag to good use throughout the 2 1/2 weeks, and while I had a leopard in the scope the final night, but we ultimately decided to pass.

The free range Zimbabwean Sable was a real highlight. Beautiful and lots of secondary growth.

What a memorable trip, great rifles and great pics. Is the Vos & Co belt from SA or the USA ?

Both Vos & Co belts were made in SA. The one from regular leather pictured above with the ele in Botswana back in April is for my 450NE and a model they regularly make, he was able to have one in time for that hunt and I just had him drop ship it to Mr X so I grabbed it as I came through. And the darker one, pictured further up in post #48 with my recent Ele and color case Heym 500, it was a special order to my design, cases canted outward on both sides for easy grab with left or right hand, and deleted the additional strap and buckle on the other belt as I don’t use it and only provides a buckle to snag or scratch a buttstock. Same thing, once it was completed I had them ship to Mr X and a buddy brought it to Zim when he flew through JoBurg the week before this recent trip…since I was flying directly into Harare.

Wildwill, are you having anything made from the hippo leather?

I have panels from both hippo being tanned…which should be done actually…but haven’t settled on what exactly I’ll make, especially since I have panels from both the bull Ele in Botswana from April and now another one in Zimbabwe. Saved all main panels, trunk skins, and front feet on both, and then one ear from the Zim bull as well. With how much I have always loved elephant hide, I’m all but totally distracted from what I’ll do with the hippo.

Rayban Meta Glasses, frozen from the video of waist to neck deep water, and just before taking the shot on the buffalo in picture 1.

If you zoom in on the last pic you can see the PH ahead with his double in waist deep water.
