I am going to try get mine to pose for a similar picture.....;) dont show her the joke, make her the joke :cool:

just missing a cat !

Doubles will always be the challenge in these situations as @IvW has mentioned. They are loaded or they not and when they are not then there is a lot more to do. I found it safer and more relaxing to use a sling for the general walking and following of spoor. Once the stalk started or we entered...

Definitely depend so on the area. I had watched to many videos of PHS in sandels and decided to use a pair of easy slip on moccasins style shoes which I know are stealthy:A Outta: My PH mate laughed at me and said when the first spikey thorn effort dropped into the open top I wouldn't be...

So the two inners running at 2,080fps The outers at 2,130fps. All 480g Woodliegh softs, just asking myself if I didnt pull that last shot giving a wider regulation:( Guess I will have to redo it! Although I wouldn't be happier with 2,150 than 2,080fps........ will the Buffalo know the difference ?

@Royal27 - goodness gracious me it's not over ??? Well done on the hyena, my all time favorite hunt! That return calling from all around in the dark is a life time experience, so glad you managed to get one. See Wayne got nicely acquainted with Miss Policelady and her hairdryer (the radar...

Phew ..... glad that all ended well! Had me racing through the posts to find the story. Well done to you and to Wayne @Nyamazana Safaris.

@Royal27 - I been waiting for this report since we met at the airport. As you mention it was really quick, I had thought to wait to chat but then realised you probably had a lot to get through with the visa and rifle. Please can you get on with the story................:whistle: the suspense...

What a story - gave me goosebumps before the envy set in. :sick:

You guys just depressed me as I recently moved away from DGX to Woodliegh :V Hang: . Glad to hear you think they will be fine in the Nitros. I am running the 480g in my 450NE 31/4". Looking for 2,200fps Currently at 2,050fps ! Softs 30mm Solids 45mm That bull is 70mm - taken off sticks at 50m.

Show us how you do when you made yours. I am pretty quick with mine! Think there are a few videos lying around

Came with my double o/u Aluminum with two clips from an MAG belt riveted on Simply drop them in and 'break them off' Fun for the range but they fell out my pocket during a buffalo stalk involving a belly crawl. Probably just need to work on a better pocket or belt holder.

My 450 NE 31/4" shoots 450g TSX and 500g Hornady on the same regulation with the same charge. These were developed after purchase as the rifle came with no data. I have also managed to get the same out of 350g Hornady and Swift Aframe. It is all about the speed I found, or I was just...

Ready to pack my bags and head into the bush when I see footage like this. Very well done.

Flip - that is a serious Leopard taken at Mbalabala (second last). And how did you get that first hyena to give the camera 'the eye'? Very well posed trophy. Hoping you have a spare tuskless end of year:)

Ugh why cant it be a 500NE!!

I was cycling my 1928 Mauser yesterday, thinking of those who were taking the test. I tried to go as fast as I could whilst maintaining the rifle in my shoulder and noticed that due to the old age wear on the bolt it is not as smooth as one needs. If not properly aligned, the 'wiggle' in the...

My Avatar are 4 x shots from my double rifle just after I acquired it and my mate wanted me to prove I could shoot it properly. They were at an old railway sleeper planted about 50 yards off the road, with just the top sticking out the bushes. Username is something I started using after I...

Said Like a True African - :D Beers:

Iwe you sure drew out that story in both terms of the word, and I loved every bit of it!! What an ending........ Well done to you and the Nyamazana Team!!

Fantastic journey we have had with you! Well done to you, your brother and the Duckworths making Zimbabwe Proud.

500NE & 400/450NE with 20 gauge. I have a 450 - 3.1/4" in over under and wish I had a 500 and the 400/450 in side by side.

Hello SiliviumM's sorry to ask but i was admiring that beautiful rifle of yours and wondering what caliber it is ? I also see you have a matching custom made knife to match which I have never seen before. kind regards David

Haha I can imagine the feeling of going around work in a bit of a trance Trying to be diligent but wishing those 4 days could vanish. Good luck, we having lovely weather!

Not usually very easy since USD notes are in short supply - it is simply an electronic number in our accounts. Banks limit the drawings now to $50 in USD per day and $100 in bond notes per day. Bond are in coins ranging up to a $2 and $5 note. Use them for tips as locals will use them easily...

Let me know if the deal falls through please.

US Dollars - smaller denominations makes it easier and ensures that you will not end up with too much bond notes for change. US coins do Not work though. But twenties, tens, fives, twos and ones are all good.

@Philip Glass good to hear you supporting us too. Good luck and enjoy

@rookhawk glad to hear some one is coming !! Rains have been great - and still at it as we prepare for the next tropical storm. Wishing all the best, who you going with?

Thank you for that @DUGABOY1 I always thought Cape Gun referred to the style and of course the Cape Since mine had the reference to the Cape Town and the similar lines I assumed it was such. So Cape Guns can only be double barrels ?

Wow that is very special

Sorry - definitely recommend trips to Chobe but also some fantastic camps in Hwange. Some good operators if you search ..... Camp Hwange Somalisa Linkwasha Makalolo

Well said Dave - this year is going to be a beauty for Vic Falls. The rains are outstanding. Any time probably from Now to June will be giving you a fantastic Rain Forest experience. Bring water proof kit for electronics, it's awesome. August - November is always low March - June the...

@Ryanlo I just shown my 15 year old daughter your post ..... Twenty questions - any chance you have a hunt report on your daughter's boar? I been trying to get mine to shoot the 9.3x62 so a little across the ocean competition might do some good

What rifle and caliber Guy?

Well done Matt!

Watching this post carefully Sounds like some serious tension running .....

We had the fortune of spending our 2016 Christmas on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe for Christmas with my family. The adventure started with ten of us cousins, wives and children heading out on the 22nd bright and early to avoid the road blocks. After the traditional stop at Lions Den for coffee...

Go with Canon We stick with Canon cause then it makes things easy Mom has her Canon and dad has his cannon, :W Rockets:. Both shooting animals Both needing accessories Both needing upgrades Frequently :E Oh Yeah:

My wife takes a lot of pictures and yes the 70-200mm or if you can squeeze a 300mm is the most versatile especially with wildlife . She has a large 400mm that only comes out on special occasions She now wants the 800mm.

@375 Ruger Fan I knew I had seen a similar post that I wanted to hijack :S Hijack:. Couldn't decide where to put my report and ended up building my own. Thanks for linking yours.:A Banana: I am sold on the Aframe @johnnyblues Although both bullets did the job without any issues. I had Barnes...

No not this time :cool:. Down in Save :A Camping:

I had the fortune to hunt an eland with my double this weekend in 450NE. Using 350grain Swift Aframe, he ran possibly 200m after 110m shot. Two follow up shots did not hit the mark but it was clear he was going down. To save any suffering I ended it with a solid to the neck. Recovered bullet...

@rookhawk confirm you saw this? Wish I could make it - maybe one day AH Get Together at Safari Club International (SCI) Convention 2017: http://www.africahunting.com/threads/ah-get-together-at-safari-club-international-sci-convention-2017.32881/

So do you think this conversion would be possible from M70 post 64 in .458 to 404J?

@Shallom did you ever get that 20gauge yet?

Thank you @Foxi I had a feeling that from the prices the Heym is ahead!! Means I need to save for longer

@matt85 where would you rate the Merkel out of the three with Krieghoff & Heym

I have an O/U Merkel in 450NE With ejectors. Not my first choice as nostalgia would rather have a classic SxS. But hey I am not complaining - doubles a double and regulation is so much easier making longer shots possible, I can still hit 1" at 100 metres. Going to try out to 150m with...

Does CZ550 count ? New one in Polokwane I am told at what I am told is a good price R25,000
