I picked this up recently, new in box. It’s in 243, sits in an HS precision stock and has a stainless barrel and action. I mounted a Vortex Viper 3-9x40 in Talley lightweight mounts. I took one shot at 25 yards that showed well centered and a little low. I adjusted to what I thought would get me...

I just brought this home. It’s a 1963 JC Higgins model 45 (Marlin 336) in 30-30, unfired with original box. I’m having the shoot it or don’t shoot it debate with myself. I’m positive that shoot it will win. Perhaps a black bear should be in its future!

I’ve been looking for a lever gun for an upcoming bear hunt and came across a couple that I had to have. The first is a 1981 production BLR in 358 Winchester. I’ve never been a BLR fan but this one just feels right and I love the 358. The second is a 1980 Marlin 375 Winchester in unfired...

Rifle is in excellent condition. I bought it used and was told it was only fired a few times and I have run about 20 rounds through it. Very accurate! I’d like to sell it as a package but will consider breaking it up for the right offer. Includes quick detach rings (unknown brand) 10 boxes of...

Colt Defender 45 in excellent condition, with box and two factory mags. Gun has some minor marks/holster wear. I tried to show in pics. Round count approximately 300. Has functioned 100% with ball and the small amount of HP that I've run through it. I've got a leather Galco holster I'll throw in...

I just received my trophy shipment from my first Safari . I have two euro mounts and a zebra flat skin. There is a fairly strong chemical odor. It has a similar smell to kerosene or insecticide. (Not nearly as strong as straight kerosene would smell) It's hard to describe. Is this...

I took my first trip to Africa in November 2016. My trophies have finally made it into Coppersmith’s hands in Chicago, over two years later! I never thought that I would have completed two additional safaris before I got my first set of trophies home. I should get billing and shipping...

I've been hesitant to post this as I typically like to keep my personal life private, but I thought this is relevant to many on here, and it may prevent a tragedy for somebody. Mods, feel free to move if I've chosen the wrong forum. I have travelled a great deal in my lifetime and am no...

I picked up a Ruger RSM in 458 Lott from another member here a few months ago. I haven’t been able to spend much time with it but finally got it to the range today. It’s set up with a Leupold Euro 1-4x. I didn’t fire it much but am pleased with the results. The attached target is from the...

We leave a week from Saturday on our third "once in a lifetime" trip. When I booked that first trip, I really believed that it would be my only trip to Africa. That first trip was in November of 2016. I went back in August of 2017, I leave next Saturday for the next adventure, and I've...

I'm getting ready to start loading for my new Lott. My intention is to get Woodleigh 500 grain softs and Hornady 500 grain solids shooting as close to the same point of aim as possible. With all of the disparity in data, I think I'm going to have to use a chrony to sort it out. Below are some...

I had myself convinced that I would stick to plains game going forward. However, I now have a 458 Lott on the way, and I may as well put it to good use. I'm looking for recommendations from those that have done recent buffalo hunts. (My only experience is a cow hunt in South Africa) I'm open...

I'm still 6 months out from my next trip to South Africa, but am getting anxious. I've been filling the time shooting, planning and gear checking. I had a productive day today at the loading bench. I finished off 120 rounds for the 8mm magnum, that I had previously primed and sized. 100 are...

Is the 250 Savage adequate on the smaller plains game species (Impala, Blesbok, etc)? I'm headed back for plains game in September of next year with zebra, black wildebeest, and blesbok on the menu. I'll be taking my 8mm Rem Mag as my primary rifle, but am considering a Ruger No. 1 in 250...

We are booking flights for our next trip. On the return, our options are a 2 hour 10 minute layover in Atlanta or 4 hours plus. On previous trips, I didn't pay much attention to how long it took to get through customs and pick up rifles because we had long layovers, but I'm pretty sure it was...

I had this up for sale back in January, but decided to hang on to it. I've fired it once since then, so I've once again decided to let it go. Used, in excellent shape overall. This has been hunted and has minor marks. There is a small spot of bluing worn away from the gun rack on the PH's...

In short, the trip was fantastic! (My shooting was not so good!) I asked Pieter for a walk and stalk hunt and that is what was provided. I was paired up with PH Jonathon. I didn't really have a trophy list other than blue wildebeest and warthog. Unfortunately, as with my first trip last...

I'm 24 hours from wheels up, flying out of Indy to Atlanta then on from there. I'll be hunting with @Pawprint Safaris again. Looking forward to seeing the new lodge and properties. I've got a lengthy layover in Atlanta tomorrow (Saturday). If anyone is going to be there, send me a message...

3 Boxes 200 grain Speer Grand Slam. One plastic box is broken as shown in pics. 1 full box and one partial box of 45 Nosler Partion 200 grain RN bullets. $20 per box plus shipping. These will fit in a small flat rate box, so shipping for 1-4 boxes would be $7.00 Buy them all for $100...

I worked up some 220 grain A Frame loads for my 8mm Magnum to use on my upcoming plains game trip. I wanted a bullet that would hold together better than the partitions did at high velocity. I had read some mixed reviews about accuracy with these, but must say I was very pleased. Not only did...

I bought this to hunt buffalo, and while I do see many return trips to Africa, I don't know that I will hunt dangerous game again. Plains game was just as much fun, and much more economical. Anyway... Used, in excellent shape overall. This has been hunted and has minor marks. There is a...

I returned from hunting with Pawprint in November with return plans already under way on the flight home. I was thinking about returning some time in 2018, but that seemed a little too far off, so I'm booked for August 2017. Will be plains game only this time. Right now I'm planning giraffe...

I'm planning on hunting giraffe on my next trip to Africa. On my last trip (also my first trip) I took a .416 for buffalo and an 8mm Remington magnum for plains game. The next trip will be plains game only, and I'd like to stick to one rifle, the 8mm. I used 200 grain partitions on the last...

We just returned from our safari with Pawprint. We had a fantastic time on the hunt. Accommodations were comfortable and the service was fantastic! Pieter and his team worked hard to make sure that our needs and goals for the hunt were met. Pieter picked us up at the airport Sunday night and...

We will be arriving in Johannesburg on Sunday, and it looks like we are in for a wet week. How does rain affect the hunting? (Buffalo and plains game) I've never been overly successful here in the states during periods of extended rain. Hopefully we will get a couple of dry days mixed in...

We are flying Delta out of Indy to Atlanta then on to Johannesburg in a few weeks. How early should we arrive? I've not flown with firearms in many years. Does it take a little longer to get checked in?

It's wheels up for us one month from today. I'll be hunting with Pawprint Safaris. The time seemed to drag when we first started planning, but the past few months have flown by. I think we are ready. I have test packed, re-packed, re-arranged, added items, subtracted items, and pretty much...

416 Remington Magnum ammunition. 4 boxes Federal premium with 400 grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claws. 2 boxes Federal Premium with 400 grain Trophy Bonded Sledgehammers. All nickel cased. $480 shipped in continental US. I prefer to sell as one lot as getting to UPS before they close is...

I've been practicing off of the shooting sticks and have not been overly satisfied with my groupings. I made some changes based on some things I've read on here and saw some improvement today. I found I had the sticks set too low forcing me to hunch over. I also was not loading them enough...

I've been getting everything together for my trip. The instructions from Henry say to send a notarized copy of passport and form 4457. I have been to my bank, courthouse and the sheriff's office and none will notarize a copy of the 4457 because the form has already been signed by the customs...

I need to get the 4457 completed (Two rifles) for my upcoming November hunt. Once I get to the CBP office, how much time does it typically take? I know there are a lot of variables, but I'm looking for a ballpark number. Should I expect an hour or less, or?? The reason I ask is that it is...

I'm headed over for a plains game and buff cow hunt next November. My buffalo rifle is chambered in 416 Remington. I've just started playing with different loads and am trying to determine what bullet to use. My PH has recommended premium soft points, saying he doesn't use solids at all for...

I plan on taking my recently purchased Remington 700 8mm magnum to Africa next year. The rifle came with a pre Monarch Nikon 4x scope. The rifle is a late 80s vintage and I'm assuming the scope is the same. It is clean, clear, doesn't fog and has held zero perfectly through my initial load...

I picked up my new to me Ruger No 1 in 416 Remington from the shop on Friday. Mounted a Bushnell 6500 1.25-8 in quick detach rings when I got it home. The weather has not been conducive to sighting in, but I decided to walk out back after deer hunting this morning and have a go. I was...

These came with a scope that I purchased and I have no need for them. I believe they are Warne, but am not sure. You are buying what you see. 30mm quick detach rings for weaver type bases. Excellent condition. Have been mounted, but have not seen any use. $60 shipped to US only.

I paid my deposit this morning with Paw Print for a plains game hunt in November of 2016. My future wife will accompany me as an observer. I have zebra, wildebeest and warthog on the menu and am considering adding kudu or one of the other antelope species. I'll be taking my trusted 30-06...

I am facing a dilemma. Growing up, I was taught to use any animals taken by sport hunting. IE, eat what you shoot, use the hides, etc. I have a safari planned next fall and am not sure how to handle the trophies. I want to hunt zebra, wildebeest, warthog and ?? I plan to have a flat skin...

Do any of the current bullet/powder manufacturers have data for the 450/400 in their current manuals? It's time for me to order a couple of new reloading manuals. Thanks!

I bought these from another member here, bought a rifle, then sold the rifle. I don't think I will use them any time soon so I'm offering them at the same deal I got, 50 cents each ($25 per box) plus shipping. I have 249 total, would prefer to sell all at once, but will sell individual boxes...
