Biltong and some good old books on Africa:

Is this book worth reading? Got it today. Have Roosevelts African Game Trails before about the same trip! Both printed 1909.

If I get a double rifle regulated in say 15C at sea level. Does it still regulate at a temperature near 40c at 1500meter over sea level? My brno bolt rifle 375HH went about 1 dm higher at these conditions. Guess it would be worse with a DR?

Saw a picture in the book Game animals of the world of a typical Addo buffalo. I guess it was that model of horns on the buffs we shot in South Africa this year. Would be nice to get some info on Addo buffalo. Some one who have some short info? Normal trophy sice etc.etc. Have tried to get some...

Anyone who knows anything about 10,75 x65R Grundig? Have tried to find info on the net but can't find anything. Is it enough for big game?

Thinking about to get a shoulder mount made of my buffalo. How much do a shoulder mount and a wall pedestal mount get out from the wall? Is there any difference? Don't have so much room and will go for the one that takes upp the least place.

Saw a buff shot with 450/400 31/4 Kynoch ammo softnose. The ammo wasn't new.How old I don't know. The bullets had just penetrated the skin and was very expanded. The shots was at about 30m. Why? Someone who knows?

Just got home from South Africa. Got these on this trip:

Saw on the news that you got six wolves from Sweden! Soon you will hear about wolves that have swum across the channel, rounded England and landed in Scottland!!!

Do anyone have any data for 300gr solid impala bullets in 375HH? Best would be with Norma 203B (RL15) Peter.

Do anyone have a Krieghoff Bergstutzen? It would be interesting to know how they perform. What precision can I expect? Bought one today on internet and should get it sent to my local gundealer,but I don't really know what I bought. It was made in 1968.

How much can a fully grown male baboon weight in South Africa? I read somewhere that max is 30kg and somewhere 45kg.

Does anyone know anything about this Russian riflescope? I have compared it with my Zeiss 1,5-6X42 (ca:15 years old) and it is just as bright and clear all the way to the edges. Have also compared them in the dark and I could se just as long with the Russias scope as my Zeiss. I just bought it...

First time I have seen a roe with horn. Looks fun with a single horn in the middle of the forehead! I took the pictures with my cellphone through a window so they are no good. Filmed here to,but don´t know how to upload.

I have a Browning 1885 Highwall in 45-70 made in 1996 that that I handload ammo for. The question is: 1. How hard can I load for this gun? Is it as strong as Ruger No1 or should i stay with loads for mordern lever actions? 2.Are all of these rifles made in Japan by Miroku? Cant find any markings...

I got a Bow and four arrows from a neighbor who knew I am interested in African hunting. He got it in Congo in 1961 when he were UN soldier. The story goes that he got it from an local chief of an small village in the bush when he delivered some baby clothes that his mother sent with him. It...

I was on my first African hunt south of Sahara last year. It is a thing I would try to do again. Have hunted barbary pigs in Tunisia 3 times before, but this time we went farther south. I have hunted in Russia and the Baltic states since the Soviet times. Home in Sweden I have hunted since...
