Having hunted Elephant with Karl you can’t go wrong on this hunt. He is a great outfitter that takes care of everything. My my bank accounts sake please someone take this hunt. Afraid I may want to jump on another hunt with him.

Forster classic case trimmer it has collets and the length required for the nitro calibers. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012697570 Here is one from midway if you can find the kit it has collets and pilots if not you will need to order for your specific calibers.

That does not sound like the Marius I know. Going soft in your old age I see. Next thing you’ll be owning a French bulldog and sitting in your recliner dreaming of your youth.

Thanks Mark for the heads up on 450-400 ammo and the five boxes. Always great doing business with you.

Are you going to find me one of those ghosts of a 58 inch eastern cape kudu if I take that spot.

“In Honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS” What a great way to honor Cal.

Left to right jumbo frame, Grossbox, African or Large frame, then the medium frame. Picture is missing the last two smaller frames I got it from there German YouTube video. It would be nice to see some finished receivers/frames in all size with weights for each to give a idea. from what info I...

I still need a good bushpig Marius.

From talking with Chris there are now 5 frame size in the 88/89b with a greener action style cross bolt then there is the jumbo action which is different

I believe there is a difference from the grossbox frame and the jumbo frame. The Grossbox is the larger of the standard box lock frames. It the 470 and the African frame it puts the rifle at 10-10.5 lbs in the grossbox it adds about a Lb to that to put the rifle in the 11lb range. It also adds...

Great offers! Marius I may just have to take you up on a late season deal.

Welcome to the forum. There are several of us from Utah on here. Some of us even get together and do a big bore shoot once a year. Normally at the Price range. Good luck on your hunt I’m sure you’ll have a good time. Cant wait to read the report

Chapuis is a great gun. I have one in 470 and it has been on a few trips and never a problem. In the process on having a Heym 89b made in 450/400 now and still can bring myself to sell the Chapuis.

Looks like graf and sons is out of stock now but I just checked and powder valley has hornady solids in stock.

Bullets are in stock at grafs and sons or where a week ago. I have been bidding for ammo and brass on GB but they seem to go for extreme prices the last hour of bidding every time. Word from some reputable sources say hornady is due to run a lot of ammo mid 2022

Nice to put some faces with the names. Good to meet you flatwater. Also good to talk with the team from Tsala.

Great price and if your able to add a buffalo if lucky for a trophy fee as well. It’s a incredible deal. May have to email you after the shows myself Wayne

I will be there atleast for the show Saturday. Probably show up in Vegas Friday sometime and stay thru Sunday. Will have my wife and kid along as well.

It seems hornady is about the only manufacture with some ammo available lately. I don’t think you will have a problem with the new bonded DGX. May pick a few boxes up and try them and hold a box or two for your hunt. Then if some of the others come available before your hunt atleast you have...

Nice to see you finally are able to get a booth.

I think the better question would be. Are you willing to pay the same prices for a non exportable hunt as a exportable one? Just as in the case of CBL lion hunts in South Africa costing one tenth the price or less of a wild hunt in Zambia or Tanzania. If they can not keep those areas going by...

Mine took 6-7 months back in 2019. I would guess they are still averaging longer that expected. If it was me I would contact some of the import brokers and ask how long they are running on permits lately. That should at least give you a idea.

I sure hope there is no fence sitting going on here. That hurts to much just jump it or drive through it for god sakes. Really with as fluid as things are it’s hard to predict so make plans book your trip and worst case may have to change some dates.

Karl of Ndumo safaris and his Bwabwata area has in the past produced some 70lbs plus bulls and is a honest guy. I hunted elephant with him in one of his other areas but got the chance to go see Bwabwata for a day and was lucky enough it was just after they had shot a 70lbs plus bull I believe as...

Thanks, it is always interesting to see how slang words are used from there original meaning. Think I have heard it used just about every way you describe.

https://www.tiktok.com/@mr_remmington/video/7015908130550811906 Any Afrikaans like to confirm some of the meanings

Bliksem, never really understood the word but when hunting with two PHs and one has a mullet rest assured you will hear the other ph say it a lot. Especially when there are trophy bushbuck involved. Would like to know the definition

Welcome and glad to have some more outfitters from some of the more obscure or unique countries to hunt on the forum. Do you have a web page or info on your areas. If not you can DM me your info.

August 2021 hunt with Marius and KMG Safaris rifles were Blaser R93 in 375 H&H and a Heym 88B in 500 nitro

Finally getting around to finishing the last few days. The last main animal I was after was a sable. We had seen one bull with a group of cows and some smaller bulls. We decide to pass him but kept him on our watch as he seemed to stay pretty close to the same area as we searched out some other...

Mutemba safaris could be a option. I shot both Suni and sharps grysbuck with them. You can also opt to drive in from South Africa which can save on charter flights or extra layovers. As they are in the Gaza province and a lot closer to SA

Congrats on a very nice leopard. It looks like both of you had a great trip.

With the rhino complete it was time to concentrate on plains game the remainder of the trip mainly Roan and Sable but I also would not pass up the opportunity if we bumped into an exceptional buffalo. We started to cover a lot of ground and take advantage of any hills we could to glass but the...

Day 6 - The PH's perspective Late yesterday, we picked up some Rhino tracks on a sandy road. This gave us a great launch pad for an area to start early this morning. We headed to the same general area, cutting tracks. Roughly 1 hour into the morning, we found some tracks on top of our tracks...

A great honer to be able to hunt such a animal.

With the first shot right on the money and the second a well place low shoulder shot we could here the bull crashing thru the trees. We gave him 10-15 minutes before following. Then we cautiously started the follow up. You could see from the blood trail he was hit hard. It didn’t take long to...

Travel day went well. We arrived at the new property in the afternoon. Se we were able to put our things away and do some scouting. We have moved from night critters to the bigger stuff. rhino, Sable and Roan are on the list. The wind was blowing a bit and the forecast was for a storm to move...

Got lucky and was able to shoot a bushbuck on one of the farms that was giving the farmer problems.

Bushpig

Day 5 last night of night hunting then we have a early start to day 6 by traveling a few hours drive and switching to days. Where we will stop going after predators and night animals and start for plains game and pre historic beasts. Day5 the last night was a bit warmer and the cold wind had...
