If these are what you’re referring to try their website https://swakopvellies.com/ I bought them at their store in Swakopmund. Also stocked at Oom Samie se Winkel in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Excellent pricing! Would love to be able to buy them at this price in South Africa.

Definitely not a young fella! Lovely bull

My bull from Bwabwata in the Caprivi with Ndumo Hunting Safaris. Have a look at their website. They seem to produce these kind of bulls quite frequently.

Welkom Divan! Hope you’ll be sharing some of your excellent photography with us!

Buffalo Boss

I took this bull with @ndumo HUNTING SAFARIS in their Sobbe Conservancy on 6 April 2022. I would not hesitate to do this hunt two or three weeks earlier. The place was incredibly green and lush and although spotting game was difficult we saw Champan’s zebra, kudu, steenbok, duiker, roan and...

Welkom ouboet!

old 303 British PMP factory 174gr soft points

My grandfather’s old 303 British. I never knew the man but his son passed the rifle on to me. It still shoots straight and with PMP factory 174gr soft points at moderate velocity meat damage is minimal.

I’ve visited Dickie (Dirk) Kotze at Tiefenbach near Okahandja twice. I’ve never bow hunted before but his operation seems very professional and the trophies taken with bow are impressive. They’ve got very good warthog and kudu and I believe his clients have taken leopard with bow too.

Dankie, and thank you all!

Thank you all! Shootist43 my rifle was built in the late 80s/early 90s by Johan Morkel who currently operates under Morkel & Crouse Riflemakers. He is a reputable gunmaker and I feel fortunate to be able to be the custodian of this gun for a while.

Dankie Frederik!

Thanks Everyone! I love drooling over the guns and hunts that do the rounds on this forum. If buying and selling guns were as simple in South Africa as in the US I would be in trouble. @ve7poi can’t wait to finally have that 404. I’ve been dreaming of one since I was a kid. Mine’s a South...

Good day, I’ve been lurking on here for a while but realise that I should’ve introduced myself. I grew up in central South Africa with some sort of hunting tool in hand at all times. I’ve hunted South Africa and Namibia and realised my life-long dream of hunting buffalo in the Zambezi region...

Yes. I’ve also only handled them in 375 H&H and they are not bulky. I’ve always wondered how the bigger calibers feel. I would love to handle one in 505!

Old bull taken in Bwabwata with my Model 70 and Barnes 270gr TSX. Down after one shot low on the shoulder. Insurance shots put in on approach. Second bull taken in Sobbe Conservancy with the same setup. First shot took him low in the chest through the heart. Put two more in his neck whilst...

I’ve read somewhere that scientifically Red River Hog and bushpig are the same species. I’m not quite sure how true that is though. Bushpigs in South Africa and other regions vary widely in colour. I’ve only shot one in the Eastern Cape of South Africa which was quite red (pic below). Have...

Lovely animals! The area is just amazing. I think of my time there every day. Can’t wait to find my way back. Congratulations on your success!

My Sako L691. I have only shot Norma Oryx 170gr through it which was the first bullet I tried and kept using it. This rifle has accounted for lots of springbok and blesbuck along with a few kudu and blue wildebeest.

Growing up in central South Africa in the 90s there was hardly a hunting household I knew without a 270 in the safe. Come to think of it I can only think of one. Musgraves (SA) were the most prevalent with many other European and to a lesser extent American brands doing the rounds. My father...

Incredible smooth bosses on that last bull!

Schmidt & Bender Exos 1-8x24 has worked well for me on buffalo and the smaller plains game in the Karoo.

My first bull from Bwabwata with @ndumo HUNTING SAFARIS in April 2022. Grateful to take such an old animal.

Pelican Vault V800 worked well for me flying from SA to Namibia. Fit two scoped rifles in their rifle bags/slips. All arrived at the hunting destination and back home with perfect zero. Make sure you have something that locks well with no movement possible on the rifles internally. The luggage...

We not only have a very corrupt government, they also enjoy implementing punitive measures at their leisure. Be sure to take appropriate tax advice before pulling the trigger. For people who are not ordinarily resident in SA the physical presence test is applied to determine whether you are...

Good rolling stuff here around R70 for 50grams. Less than $10 Aud [emoji15]

Or just buy here for cheap. Marlboro goes for around US$3 per pack of 20.

Sobbe bull from April 2022. Amazing area and great guys to hunt with.

I bought around 500 175gr 7mm Speer Deep Curl bullets recently to reload my 7x57. As far as I know they are discontinued. Anyone with experience with these bullets? Best

Since they’re accurate I wouldn’t bother with the North Forks. I use the 170gr Oryx in my 7x64 and have taken many antelope up to large blue wildebeest bulls cleanly. Broadside shots pass through everything I’ve taken so I am sure at 7x57 velocities they do well on anything up to and including...
