I’m Australian so I’m biased toward Woodleigh. The guys from Woodleigh have an unlimited supply of buffalo in northern Australia to test any of their bullets on too, and they have a great reputation. The truth is though that both companies make great bullets, I think you can’t go wrong with...

Thanks, it’s a good idea. I put a thumbs up emoji after my comment but that didn’t go through. I didn’t want to sound so dismissive of your advise.

I can’t tell if you are joking or you mean keep it faceing forward but twist it along the same axis. if you meant removing the rear mount and twisting it 90 degrees that’s funny and I agree that it would solve the ejection issue hahaha if you meant twisting it so that the windage adjustment is...

Guys, as for extraction and feeding I’d rather a Sako over a Mauser to be honest. They have a big extractor, it’s nothing like a Remington 700. It’s plenty big. I can run very hot rounds through my Sako’s and they function flawlessly. I can’t say I have much experience with Mausers but Sakos...

I have a Sako 85 Kodiak in 375H&H and it performs 100% flawlessly with open sights or my aim point red dot. If I was to take it to Africa for close range African game I’d use the red dot and bet my life on it working flawlessly. I love this rifle so much and one great thing about it is if you...

I think a real slim 9.3x74R would be great. Also 375 Flanged. I have one in 458win mag, I’ve considered boring it out to 458lott but haven’t bothered. Also if they made one in a real cool caliber like 500NE or 577NE that would be awesome. Maybe two models in 577NE - a traditional African style...

Thanks mate, I appreciate it. I'll look into those.

Hi all, happy new year to everyone, I wish everyone the best of health and prosperity. I was just after a short list of perhaps 5 or so books that you guys would recommend to the "want to be African big game hunter" Are there some famous 'must read books' that everyone on here has read? Id...

I think Japan/ South Africa game was quite good too. I think having an Australian coach was an unfair advantage though

Sou Oh South Africa, the West Indies are on tour here at the moment, we just thrashed them in the first test. I better be diplomatic, South Africa is always a worthy opponent.

I take it you're not from the West Indies Bruce?

Haha yep, the best country in the world to be unemployed or "working" in the public sector ;) Im from Sydney mate.

Hi guys, every now and then I read through some of the discussions on here and thought I'd sign up so I can contribute when I can and to ask my own questions. Thanks, Chris
