    Cal. .416.

    Shallom is 100% on this......the .416's are a great calibre for Africa, more "thump" than a .375, but still able to reach out for Eland, Giraffe, Etc without too much bullet drop.

    Mark Sullivan kicked out of SCI

    1831 views on this thread, that beats anything else I have seen on AH so far!! This is one of those things that you either love or hate, there is no grey area and that too is how the anti hunters see it. His version of hunting is bad news period. The point was raised about taking a 100 yard...

    New rifle advice

    Skyline......thanks for clarifying the Stock issue, I thought I had read an article on the American import CZs that said the stocks were straight, but was not entirely sure.

    LIMPOPO BUFFALO HUNT SPECIAL

    Hi Benno. I hear what you are saying, but I have never hunted an area with wild Buffalo that it was possible to know exactly what the population was and specific sizes. Well done on your exceptional/comprehensive ground work and all the best for your season this year. Regards.

    New rifle advice

    Hi. I own 3 Winchester Model 70's, a pre '64, a post '64 and a new claw extractor "Classic Super Express" I have had no problems with them or the numerous ones brought on Safari by the guys I have guided, they generally shoot really well too. I have friends who own the CZs and since they have...

    LIMPOPO BUFFALO HUNT SPECIAL

    Just curious, if these are such wild, free roaming Buffalo how can you give a size of 39 inches? Surely part of hunting is not knowing what you will find out there and there are no guarantees?:confused:

    Long Gun advice...

    We see a lot of Weatherby's in various calibres brought to Africa on safari, personally I cannot stand them and have learnt over the years that when there is one in camp we will be following lots of wounded game, most people cannot handle the recoil generated by these powder guzzlers, even with...

    Mark Sullivan kicked out of SCI

    Skyline you are 100% correct, the thing that worries me is, how do we change such a deeply ingrained mindset in the people who subscribe to Sullivan's mentality and will probably pass on the same mindset to their kids?

    Leopard hunting

    Hi. That is such an open ended, complicated question. The first thing is, in any country there are good and bad areas for any species, the fact is, there are areas with good Leopard hunting in most countries where it is legal. There are also some regoinal differences in body size for these...

    The .375 and Leopard - I need a bullet

    Cleathorn I would not worry about how fast a bullet expands inside a Leopard, the initial energy transfer from a .375 with any bullet is significant on an animal this size. I would concentrate more on an all purpose expanding projectile that groups well in your rifle and is practical for the...

    Hunter Found Guilty of Smuggling Leopard Skin

    Safari Hunter you can say that again!! It really sickens me what people do in our Safari "industry" in the pursuit of a fast buck and in the process bring down the image of all hunters and outfitters, something in this day and age we can ill afford happening. These "gentlemen" deserve...

    Zimbabwe Suspends Hunting

    As a Zimbabwean involved in the Safari industry here, the first article was a shock to say the least, but if read carefully it was never going to be a long term thing, the basic facts are that the country cannot do without the large revenue brought in by hunters......period, they will try and...
