I love this setup. I’m going to Botswana in 4 weeks, I may have mine mounted the same. What are the overall dimensions of this please?

The life sized full mount is incredible.

I live in England and am very fortunate to shoot at least 50 muntjac every year. Inevitably I shoot some very nice trophies. The only taxidermist I would ever use is Steve Newcombe from Outwoods Taxidermy. He is a world class taxidermist and an all round great guy to deal with...

I must admit the Atec did turn my head. My stepdad has a CMM4, after not that many rounds the gas cutting was incredible, it still functions but it put me off, so I will probably steer clear of alloy baffles. The wildcat's baffles are stainless steel which is why I am giving that serious...

Not this particular rifle, but I've shot other 375's in the past. The first hunt this will be used for will be an up close and personal affair in thick cover, I want it moderated so I can reload and get back on target quickly in case a follow up shot is needed. Also load testing and practise I...

I'm definitely getting it cut down, I don't want to get hung up when in the thick stuff. A friend I know has a Wildcat Predator 8 on his 375H&H which he says tames it to be like a pussy cat. A gentle push as opposed to a violent kick is as he describes it. I've sent Wildcat an email this...

Thanks for the info, I just had a quick web search and as they are made in and distributed from Africa, getting one in the UK may be difficult. But I will do some more research.

Got it in one Matt Moderator, suppressor, silencer,

I have just bought a 375 H&H, it currently has a 25” barrel which is too long for my intended uses. It is being cut to 20” and will be threaded to take a moderator. I am looking at various moderators, all have their pro’s and con’s. What would be recommended for the 375 H&H and upwards? Or...

Thanks for the info, it seems that the action length 7 7/8@" for long action and 8" for magnum, I may take a chance and order one and see how much work it will require to modify, if not then I will just use the original and cringe every time it takes a knock!!

By Friday I will be the owner of a CZ550 375 H&H, it is used but looks like new. It has a beautiful walnut stock on it which is in mint condition. As this rifle is likely to get some abuse I want to get a replacement weatherproof stock and keep the original in A1 condition. I have found a...

I believe we have a mutual friend. Mike S? He mentioned you and your rifle to me today. I have found someone in the UK that their website suggests they have a ruger guide gun in stock in 375 ruger. I am calling them tomorrow. Did you have to place a special order to get yours? How easy was...

That was the gun that very very much tempted me and I may still be persuaded to get it. It has all the features I want and still retains the iron sights. The only issue I have is ammo availability if I needed some in the event of mine being lost in the airport. Also the Ruger website suggests...

Maximum of £1500. But screwcutting will cost me a further £100 I had considered the 375 ruger. But on any continent you can get 375 H&H ammo if mine got lost in transit. Ruger ammo is not do easily available. I live in Northamptonshire Thanks very much for your feedback I had considered a...

Hello from the UK. I'm currently looking to buy my first 375 H&H for a brown bear hunt later this year. I have been considering all options. There are a few considerations I've been making 1) Push feed or controlled feed? 2) Magazine capacity? 3) Detachable magazine or floor plate? 4) Since...

Adventure is a great word for a hunt like this, one that everyone should try and enjoy in their lifetime 11.5lb isn't that heavy really, the scope weighs just over 2lb!! I hope your knees are back up to it one day, I see you've been twice, it is one of those places that I don't think you...

Cheers mate, I can't wait to get the cape, skull and horns to you. This will be the centre piece of my trophy room

After doing a number of sheep and goat hunts over the past couple of years around Europe. I wanted to challenge myself both physically and mentally with a hunt that I have dreamt about since my passion for the capra and ovis species began. The largest capra species the mid Asian ibex resides in...

Now sold

Hi, I am selling my Leica Geovid Geovid 10x42 HD-Y (Yards) They are used but have been meticulously looked after. As you can see I still have the box, packaging, original Leica neck strap, original Leica Binocular case, lens covers for ocular and objective lenses, manual, warranty ward, test...

Amazing trophies. But the most amazing one in my opinion is the bushbuck. How long is he?

If you think the hunt report was great you can only imagine how good the hunting actually was.

Hi Aaron, I had a great time, dare I say it, the best hunt I have ever been on. Anyone thinking of coming to Europe for a hunt should definitely squeeze a Spanish Ibex in!!! Or even better do the grand slam!! Feel free to contact me for more details. Cheers

If you enjoyed it as much as me, you will be back sometime very soon. If it was not for my other more closer to home hunting trips planned, I would be back in Africa before the end of 2015!! My pleasure Bob, between my girlfriend and I we took 600+ photos. Its a great way to bring back the...

After my first bushbuck, it has made my hunger for the rest of the subspecies even more hungry!! The harnessed bushbuck is an amazing animal!! I would like to collect them all eventually!! I have been told not to expect them much before 12 months. The UK based booking agent arranges a large...

Thanks for pointing that out Environ. Ground sloth tags are also available to anyone lucky enough to get their mammoth early in the hunt.

I am in the process for applying for the worlds first mammoth tag. The bulls in this area have at least 150lb each side. 50% deposit guarantees the hunt. Anyone that can expect to live at least 100 years more, please message me for details.

The horns have now arrived from Spain, so time to start thinking about where my mount will go when it comes back from the taxidermists!!!! I have decided on a pedestal mount.

Most definitely! May be a little while, but I will be back! Some great animals and some great memories, I will treasure forever!! I am also very glad that Julie shared the experience with me. I would have loved for her to have got behind the rifle and taken an animal of her own. I will work...

Cheers Phil, it certainly was a great test for my new rifle and the Nosler Accubonds!!

It was not by choice, all of the shots were what the situation dictated. The closer shots were in heavier cover. The longer shots we were in open country and in some cases the animals were already aware of our presence.

My first kill in SA to christen my 7mm Rem Mag. A cull impala, the shot was taken off a bipod at 270 yards. I am going to get a flat skin to put on my trophy room wall or ceiling. This is one of the 5 extractions we did for female impala culls. My trackers KB and Albert carried out most of...

Just checked the OAL to tip. 3.345" I trim my case to 2.491" The measured length for ogive to contact lands is 2.791" The oal of the bullet is 1.410" Just weighed every single powder charge for a batch of 50, 66.6gr. I will seat them tomorrow morning. The next time these rounds are...

My length to ogive is 2.771". I have not measured to the tip as I always use a comparator. A few guys have kindly ran my data through Quickload, the correlation of velocity and powder charge pretty much matches what Quickload calculated. In 2 days time I will be in the air, rifle stowed, G&T...

I know tikka are owned by beretta now, but are still made in Finland in the same factory as Sako. When I was in Milwaukee and visited Richfield Cabelas I could not believe how cheap tikka's are on your side of the pond. They are about £900 over here which is about $1300. If I remember...

My 7mm rem mag is a custom rifle built on a remington 700 action. Floor plate, so no issues with a long oal. Even vld bullets could be seated long and will still work fine. My tikka t3 is in 270win. But luckily enough 10 thou off the lands is still short enough to fit in the mag. I am using...

Cheers Phil. I was originally hoping for 3000fps so 2923 is close enough. I will seat the bullets longer next time to see if that helps to tighten the groups. With a bit of playing around I found that my Tikka T3 in 270win if I seated 10 thou off the lands and that gives me a ragged hole at...

Finally I have a load that meets all my requirements. 66.3gr - 2863fps 66.6gr - 2923fps 66.9gr - 2940fps 67.2gr - 2951fps The 67.2gr load started showing pressure signs. There was a circular mark from the extractor plunger. Plus there was only 11fps increase from the 66.9gr load. Given there...

My reason for needing to potentially work a new load is the once fired brass has a different capacity, so theory will be that the velocity will reduce. The reduced velocity could also potentially affect accuracy. I agree that 2850 fps is plenty fast enough, but it may drop with the extra...
