lol…just remodeled my house plus trophy room know how you feel!

Congratulations on a great hunt and animals! GFA was my very first safari as well filled with great memories with a great family!!!

Congratulations on an awesome hunt!!! Well done! Like you we learn sometimes it can come down to the last day last hour to take your target animal as it did for your leopard and my elephant

how did you get it please

you bet. using my 470 as the example my gun was crossing at 86 grains of RL15.5. At 84 grains no more crossing and 0.6 inch regulation

First you will be in the hands of an outfitter who absolutely know where to go and where not to go. You should be completely safe. His description which I have no reason to doubt is true would be like someone living in Atlanta today where you should not live due to danger. I know where those are...

New this gun is now $17,000 with new pricing old was $14,500.

Very good price! Beautiful gun especially wood

please repost your hunt link

when bullets are apart as long as you have checked they are not crossing you increase the velocity. If they are crossing you decrease velocity. Do you understand when I say crossing

I can help there using the PH as the example. For PG $100 per day. For DG $200 per day

Your rifles are no problem for rebooking but you will regret trying for a 44 minute layover almost guaranteeing something going wrong. Why add that stress

I have your exact set up in the US and love it with zero problems for me. I recommend picking up a trickler to go with it given I just do not trust digital powder loaders...I still trust and love the old dependable RCBS manual beam scales and then use my trickler to finish.

Wow I paid 45 pounds on Rigby and see that is still same price

Wow!!!

sold

i’ll take them

I will take them. PM coming

nicely done @Flewis!!! when a nice rifle comes up at a good price you take it

I use this exact product for all the DRs I have had and worked perfectly. Then when in Africa you don’t feel the recoil anyway but man does it help me practice before Africa in a huge way

Depends; in my bedroom under the bed my short 12 gauge for intruders In Africa my 450 NE DR followed closely by my 404J

I used my 404 Jeffery on plains game and took two at 300 yards which speaks for the rifle not me given I am but an average shot. There is no such thing as too much gun. If you want another rifle just to get one the following are all great PG calibers: 275/7x57, 30-06, 300 WM, 338

It is given i’ve been there 8 times. I do not however go touring in Jburg! I fly in stay at City Lodge and if hunting in SA either my ph picks me up or I fly out next morning to final destination. me personally I would never go out anywhere in Jburg at night. just me

I have seen some members post sharing when they can get close enough they feel comfortable taking a shot with a buff laying down and I support that versus a say normal distant shot where we might not feel sure until the bull stands up

I can't believe this was not snapped right up...full disclosure, I recommended to him to ask more for this deal given I know its value...he obviously has decided to sell this great package deal for even less than I recommended! It is a deal!!!!! Just go online to John Rigby.com and see what...

Thats one of the many things I like about Frantz...he makes all of us think about things differently! I told him just yesterday, I really have enjoyed his posts over this past year as he presents new ideas, questions and thoughts! It's what makes our forum so great!!!

You are one smart man!!!!! I love your strategy and implementation. As for just me...I do not give a rat's as$ about what anyone wants to say about me in terms of the anti's. Bring them on! Your plan is simply outstanding!!! By all means I know I speak for all our members please share your...

Bump. Still can't believe this incredible deal and package is still for sale!!! I have learned sometimes you just have to leap out and take advantage of a deal like this. Just like my Rigby Higland Stalker in 275 with the extra add on's for the rifle itself and then the ammo and brass...I...

I am a classic nostalgia type of person...I would choose the 303 given it is a classic Africa cartridge unlike the 45-70 which is a good cartridge but not born in Africa. Just me.

Great question...I am a member of both for these reasons: 1. SCI is the only group that fights for us in Washington for our hunting rights. 2. Both SCI and DSC with the latter no matter where it is held, provide you with a wealth of information and an in person opportunity to meet and talk to...

Awesome and thanks so much for you post!!! I think all of us would love to hear the cost for each of the two courses please as well as the website for future classes.

No $17K all in except tip, air. You can find these. Right now Tokoloshe $18K all in exportable or several outfitters for similar cost with larger ivory but not exportable for same price…no problem many taxi can make identical even to weight per tusk faux

This is an incredible deal!!! This rifle new shipped to the US with average tax $16,500.

@Tanks would be a good one to comment given he ordered a new Rigby DR and selected everything then went to London for fitting

Good points…for me it is more about where do I love to hunt the most in Africa…I love fairly heavy jess where a long barrel can get caught up. I find anything longer than 26 inch’s barrels is just unwieldy for me whether a rifle or shotgun. I shoot a heavy shorter barrel gun just better than I...

For me I want the animal to be dominant with me in the background to celebrate the animal more but yes me in the picture but more in the background like the attached

lol…I’m getting used to your sense of humor and am looking forward to the rest of your report!!!

My sincere apologies to Ford then…my bad! I missed the parady part and thought he was serious so missed the joke

Absolutely breath taking wood!!! thanks for sharing!!!

Frantz, what caliber is your Big Game? Would love to see some pictures of it!!!

In my opinion they are the best I have used in my 8 safaris

My new favorites are 450 NE given it is so classic and a Rigby London 275 Rigby Highland Stalker again a classic caliber by a great gun maker 404 Jeffery are you getting I am a classic Nostalgia kind of Africa hunting type of person

@spike.t is a very well-respected member of our forum, and he is an outfitter in Zambia. I read an excellent article from @Red Leg where he used his new at that time Rigby 275 HS. He had nothing but great things to say.

My 140 grains do cloverleaves easily. I need to tweak my loads slightly to get my 175 grains to do the same.

Amazing kudu and other animals taken with one of my favorite outfitters and family!!!!!

Frantz, what is the COAL you are using with your 175 grain bullets for your 275 please? I see different information...My 140 grains are 2.83, I have found the average seems to be 3.065 for the 175 grain. For my first time at my range, I used 3.07 and no problems after JJ opened mine as well...

you bet!!!

For africa i don’t use slings on my DRs given i hunt in such thick jess in zim. i have learned to do a 45 degree africa carry practicing with a steele bar so everyone is safe

just some friendly advice. I bought one of these last month on AH only in 275 with special metal that would cost $18,000 for $12,000 plus brass and bullets. If you want to move the gun I would offer the gun for $12,000 and that’s it and see what happens. to me price still somewhat high versus...

OUTSTANDING!!!!! You hit a grand slam!!! Absolutely love the outcome!!! Well done sir!!!
