Dont know if this is a good deal or not https://simpsonltd.com/products/Z73373 Pre 64 WInchester - no connection to the gun !

Irish guides usually abuse mostly ...it's a long shot for you must be 80m. Take any of the three to the right(there were only 2 deer.) I will make a cup of tea while you get on that deer. Good shot thought we were out of miracles today. FFS shoot. I am Irish myself

LJ safaris shirt and jacket. But more importantly so much knowledge.... From all the places in Africa I have hunted. Learned the most with them.

Parker Hale after the war sporterised large numbers of 303's in vairous grades their Supreme (from memory) was rebarrelled and free floated etc - I have a few of them and they are surprisingly accurate - If you are on the hunt for one of these - they have drilled receivers for the Parker Hale...

I had never read about the 416 Taylor until a couple of months ago - skulking around a Euripean Auction I spotted a Huaqvarna in said calibre - with an aimpoint 2000 scope attached ! Out the door for beer money - just waiting on it arriving to Iceland - managed to get a set of dies for it - so...

416 rigby in cz 550 get comfortable with it 200 rounds then try a 458 win ...if you don't like then 458 then you have found your solution

if they annoy you dont get involved !

Yes it does work - I keep an eye on gun auctions in Europe (antique guns )- and beyond - dont buy much but what I do buy are screamers! Takes time - but I use those lazy minuites of the day for this - better than doom scrolling !

Elephant culling is a job for seasoned professionals - I have worked on culling plains game with a couple of professionals - I thought of myself a "fairly competent" at the time, having been putting a 100 plus a season in Africa in the freezer and similar back home! - NO I WAS NOT even close to...

375HH lower pressure - availability of ammo - etc - can we not have a sticky on this - there is nothing the ruger brings to the discussion - that the HH has not solved a century ago - but - I will again rant The dangerous game rifle was solved before the first war Plainsgame was solved...

I have used 6.5x55 culling on Bles and Spring - however - I have kept my range to 200m - as simple time of flight is against you - they work and drop everything - have shot perhaps 100 plus animals with the 6.5x55 - however - the 7x64 worked better they went down faster - 303 Brit was...

Probably my second favourate animal to hunt (warthog being the first - dont ask I dont know why) But every Giraffe I have taken has been a very memorable hunt !

Parker Hale are some of the most underrated rifles available - I have a modest collection (20) of them very accuracte and proper CRF - should sell for 2x what they do on value however - everyone wants creedmoor - However their Safari calibres sell very very well I have noticed !

have a Brno 47 in that calibre cannot wait to receive it

they are very decent !

No idea not mine but one sold so far as you will discover 50 percent import charges may restrict the guns arriving - just saying ! I only export to USA antique guns less paperwork and BS - though I might start on Safari rifles as prices seem sometimes OK !

I just hit the cash machines @ the Casino in PE - draw 2/3 the trip plus tips and pay with that- cash works - problem is to convert foreign currency - they have to pay tax on it unless they use it black - have asked my regular PH's said rand in large bundles - also have converted GBP into chips...

the 9.3x62 is sold but the rest just dropped 10 percent !

|Feck that is cheaper than UK prices - if the bore is good a bargain - or a build for a 404J

Spotted a couple of "deals" at simpsons https://simpsonltd.com/cz-550-american-z77115/ as 50 percent import tax will kinda prevent these turning up https://simpsonltd.com/cz-550-z77113/ needs a stock perhaps ? https://simpsonltd.com/winchester-70-african-z77120/ seems to be about market...

As a semi professional Culler 75. Percent of what I shoot are females

Hi Guys advice on this - is it good value ? https://simpsonltd.com/winchester-70-african-z77120/

Must remind ATF

Nice find—enjoy! Unfortunately, many of these rifles cannot be imported to the USA due to the stripper clip cutout, which defines them as Milsurp sporterised rifles, which are banned!

Second that

Used to be decent people no longer hunt with them - as you find !

Beautiful rifle !

develop a 303 British that works - and the world is your oyster , clam ,mussel etc Stephen

I have never taken an elephant - but as Doctari comments in his book he culled 650 buff with a 9.3x62 - so effective yes - optimal nope - but you pays your money and takes your choice !

Been keeping an eye out on SimsonsLtd not much in Safari rifles - except for this Pre 64 Supergrade in 458 Win mag - org finish by the looks of it https://simpsonltd.com/winchester-70-african-z77120/

it works - I check the skips around my neighbourhood - always finding some strange stuff discarded -

Just got the sad news Kynoch has ceased trading due to the retirement of the owners. so there goes my 333 Jeffery rimmed build ! - luckly I put by a couple of years ago enough ammo to see out my hunting days!

Very nice indeed

Amazing calibre - I did have a Mauser 66 in 8x68 and 9.3x64 - the 8x68 I have hunted Africa with took everything from Springbok to Giraffe - choice of bullets getting better to be honest - basically you have a 8mm rem mag without the hassle of brass !

Yes will be interesting the new tariffs on arrival stateside .......

Sadly now with 25 percent import duty ..Uk 10 percent

Imported guns - as any new supply from Europe is going to be plus 25 percent ! Never had the smarts for shares and such like !

They work got a steal on that one...perfect for most plainsgame have used one culling Springbok Impala Besbok etc worked everytime.....

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1095623758 seems insane but again left handed people seem to not be able to find their pockets - begging to be a 458 lott !

Recently reduced mine to three 303 404 and 505.....as my hunting rifles Then have 318wr double and 470NE double Then My fun rifles Baikal doubles a few Baikal SB a few WW2 and before not scope of this post but perhaps ....a lot of fully auto ....relax my American friends in Europe we can own...

Yes my ex gf took 40 cull animals on a trip with one .....everything died 175gr ppu sp .... The calibre hits a sweet spot ...even dropped blue wildebeest and Zebra with ease....

Go for it Sir I recently purchased an original in Europe .........built of a 98 mauser action

375 Ruger solves a problem that does not exist. 375h&h lower pressure....ammo availability world wide...wider choice of ammo manufacturers....I could go on but think that would be sufficient

Indeed experience suggests that the one in 10 who walk amongst us seem to not be able to reach their wallet

Trade in firearms as a side Hussle ...like 30 a month ..every month ....have a small manufacturing business ....flip the odd car ...drive 12 yo car myself ...etc etc get to go to Africa most years is a 24/7 Hussle ..also organize trips to Africa and beyond

A little bit less that a 318 WR or 333 Jeffery Rimmed - or rimless - so usual suspects - I have hunted with a 318WR and taken plainsgame from springbok thru blue wildebeest - would I take a body shot with on on a giraffe - yep if it was the gun in my hand and did have solids - Did put a second...

Obliged for the advice - however clearly you are an enabler - if it cleans up I am going to need another one - for the 333 Jeffery !

There is an excellent article https://www.africahunting.com/threads/rifle-lessons-learned-from-the-zimbabwe-professional-hunter-proficiency-exam.2604/ Suggests the problems etc

waiting on a 7x57 - the barrel of which is trashed - however - if it does not shoot well - thinking of a re-barrel to 333R Jeffery just for something completely different !
