I have this exact scope on my Push feed M70 in 375 H&H. It was a wonderful fit for me...

I've been looking for a push feed Super 70 in 45 caliber. This one is really nice especially for it's age...

Welcome to the group sir, and welcome from another native Minnesotan!

I've hunted several times a few mile north of Hayden. All public land DIY hunts. There are bulls to be had, but you will do better to stick to private land. We hunted lower ground so later in the season was better when the snow pushed most of the elk out of the high timber. As others have...

Hell on wheels to get it here to Minnesota I'm afraid. I would also CT, if it was for sale domestically I would own it... Wife might spontaneously combust if she found out I bought another 275 Rigby :whistle:

But to own a 1912 John Rigby highland stalker...a thrill. If only the stories could be read from each ding, nick, and repair that have been accumulated over the last 116 years. What a story she might tell... Transgressions can be forgiven, and corrected by skilled hands...

Unlike jacked bullets, Monolithic solids are very simple machined parts that can be produced by any person or shop with turning equipment (metal lathe). Any machine shops with CNC turning capabilities can easily replicate any of the above designs with absolute accuracy and precision. I spent...

Nosler loads some excellent factory ammo using this exact bullet. I brought two boxes of Nosler "Trophy Grade" with 260 grain partitions on my safari. I used it to great effect on everything from Duiker to Kudu. My 1983 push feed Winchester Model 70 loved it and shot wonderfully with it. No...

Yes 275 Rigby, stupid auto correct! ! Sent from my SCH-I535 using AfricaHunting mobile app

Folks, As of today Cabelas still has 10 of these rifles left, well 9 I guess :) My personal treasure is on its way to Rogers, MN. They have them mis-labeled on their website as a Hawkeye classic center fire rifle rather than the African model that they are. After a long conversation with...

Any thoughts folks?

I have an opportunity to purchase 2 rifles that I know little about and frankly couldn't find a ton of information on. A fellow passed on that unbeknownst to me had a collection of oddball rifles, such as 348 Winchesters, 350 Remingtons, etc. As part of this there are two guns that caught my...

I also have not received a confirmation. Just the paypal notice of transferring funds.

1 more ticket sold... Dream trip for me

Welcome! I was just in your part of town last weekend. I'm jealous you are so close to Granzin's... Suck up all the knowledge you can from these guys. Amazing amount of experience to learn from here (both good and bad)

We were just there yesterday. Tickets at the door or prepurchase online. We prepurchase, but there was really no need. No membership required. If you happen to be a member of the Houston Safari Club, entrance is free. Otherwise $10. Smallish show, but headed to a bigger venue next year.

We'll be in town Friday and would love to meet up.

anybody getting together in Houston this year?

We should grab a burger at Hoppers in Waconia sometime, talk hunting and whatnot...

I've fished the spring Coho run with Michael Hanke of A1 Big Fish Charters out of port Racine. Good captain, he and his mate are well respected and connected. good equipment and boats. He also runs a heated boat for browns in the winter and does very well.

Thanks everyone for the tips. Gizmo's place is several hundred miles out of the way i'm afraid. The nilgai thing looks really intriguing to me... We shall see... If anybody ends up at the Houston show Friday night keep in touch we can have a beer!!

Thanks for the advice. I'm more of a meat hunter these days anyhow. If I hunted somewhere in south Texas it would lost likely be for something I could bring meat home from. It would seem to take alot of javelina to fill a freezer :)

Young America, maybe 15 miles from you...

Love the clean look of that rifle... When I started hunting "out west" in the wide open spaces I fell prey to the belief that deer couldn't be taken at extended ranges with anything less than a fire breathing "Uber Mag" 7mm or .300 magnum. After much destroying of meat, and nearly ripping a...

OK all of you Texans, A little help requested from the friendly locals Mrs. Country requested a 5 day smoochy smoochy trip in January, I bit, found someone to watch the kids, and setup a long weekend with friends in San Antonio, with a short detour to Houston for the safari show to visit a...

Excellent glass in the 600-1000 range. Several elk hunting buddies run the zeiss conquest hd's and you couldn't pry them out of their hands for anything less than Swaro's. To my 40 year old eyes the Zeiss and the Nikon monarch 7's looked so close that I couldn't tell the difference under full...

The reason I went to the Natal...

I agree with Brickburn, go to the Natal... I've been, and the numbers and quality were just staggering in my eyes. We saw literally hundreds of nyala bulls before even setting up the sticks. I hunted ten days in Natal. I found it the right amount of time to pursue and take a really great...

My very close uncle had a mixed collection of 250+ handguns and long guns. About 3/4 were ruger Handguns and the rest a mixed lifetime collection. When he passed a year ago the family contacted a local auction house. They had a combination onsite and online auction. They had to pay for some...

Albert, Start by getting a hold of some gun shops in Alaska. Like others have said, in most if the US a .375 is a "keep the dream alive" safe queen. Some friends of mine traveled to Alaska for a roll your own caribou hunt last year. In the big state we found .375 rifles in all states of...

Sounds along the Mkuze, one of my most vivid memories...

Dave, I look forward to sharing a few words on Friday at the Minneapolis SCI show. Safe Travels

Decent deal, is the ammo in the US or RSA?

I don't know Phil, I think your son's might have mine by a bit. It is really a monster in that picture. Congrats to the young lad on an incredible trophy, especially for his age. I have only my PH Leo Van Rooyen to thank for the size, We spent so much time and passed on so many really good...

Another KZN specimen.

Stunning mount... love the habitat, it takes a typical pedestal really to another level

Zululand Taxidermy had one of mine made into a centerpiece for the dinner table displayed horizontally with legs and tips, and one made into a candelabra. I'll post pictures as soon as they arrive, should be two weeks or so.

Thanks for the recommendations fellas. I wouldn't miss a chance to meet some of you folks when we're in Vegas. Though we may only register for the show Wednesday and Thursday, I would still be in town through Sunday and wouldn't miss the Friday night get together. Though she is really excited...

I am starting to put together details for our next safari and am looking for some reflection from those of you that have been there a few more times than I. The first trip we took was to a typically posh bush lodge in KZN last year. It was a great place and a good test of what my lovely wife...

Hello all, Mrs. Country and I are planning a little adults only vacation in Las Vegas this coming February to attend the SCI Convention and do some sightseeing. We have never been and would like some input. If you were going to spend two days at SCI Vegas, with the main goal as researching...

Paul, I was looking hard for any of my mounts in the finish room pictures you took. You probably saw some of them, they are just putting final touches on my double impala mount with habitat, and nyala pedestal mount habitat. My full mount duiker, zebra rug, and wall pedestal kudu are done...

Paul, Are the taxidermy photos at Zululand Taxidermy? I hunted just north of Zeekopan last September and had my trophies sent to Zululand. Willem and Amanda are really nice folks, we met them at the Minneapolis SCI Expo after a friend referred them to us. Sounds like you had a great time!

James, What area in Saskatchewan? Nearest town? Reservation name? Drive to or fly in destination? Thanks!

My wife and I had a similar connection at OR Tambo last fall and elected to stay at the City Lodge which is onsite and connected to the airport. A short walk from SAPS and baggage claim. You don't have to catch any shuttles or go outside the airport. It probably got us another hour or two of...

Congratulations on the booking of your safari!! I took the same rifle/scope combo to KZN last September and found it to be very adequate. My shots in the bushveld were from 80-200 yards and often involved some brush in between. In my 1983 M70 I had good luck with nosler 260 gr. soft points...
