Thanks for the replies, can't beat 1st hand experience. I'll keep checking back and if anyone has a PH to recommend feel free to send me a PM. I was under the impression that June and July were "winter months" but if I understand correctly there may be less vegetation in August and September?

I was planning a trip to Zimbabwe and have had alot of mixed conversations between PH's, granted they can be bias, and rightfully so. I'd like to ask the guys here that have hunted Zim to give me some advise on best areas to hunt and if you have an outfit to recommend that is fine too. My...

Again, thanks for all the replies. I'll start small and work up to a good comfort level. Will email PH about the MB. While I hate to hear some of you have had injuries as well your success gives me some renewed confidence.

You make a valid point preacher. I had work in a nursing home one day and walking through seen a gentleman with a small 8 point buck on his wall, he was just sitting and staring. I complimented the buck and as many hunters would do he proceeded to tell me the whole hunting story. I never spoke...

Wow, guys thanks for all the replies. I read my post and could have kept it shorter in just asking if anyone ever successfully shot 375, 404 or 416 with a torn rotator cuff without making it worse.. haha I realize 375 will kill a buffalo but I'm not a fan of minimums, still adjusting to the...

So you all haven't seen my name on here for quite some time, I had a hunt planned in Zim but before the hunt I almost lost my life in an auto accident. I never even finished my rifle, was having a 404 Jeff built but had to cxl my smith order due to being out of work and having other priorities...

Thank you, if nothing else comes up this may be what I do. Appreciate it.

Have you ever had a problem with your Ruger Bolt smashing your trigger finger? I've heard of some complaints of this with big bores because of the dog leg shape to the bolt handle. I don't really have a problem with the longer action. In the past I have had many issues getting Scopes to fit...

Thanks guys, i am considering that 404. However is still on an extra long action similar length as cz 550's Hoping to find something on a mrc 1999 action, model 70 action or even mauser action. Still looking but keeping options open

It was tough to do but while tough to find they are out there. A hunt in Africa with friends is quite tough to find also.. ;-) And haha.. North or South.. Well, not to bash the north but thank goodness.. I'm from the South. Not too far from Stl really but on the Il side of river.. Far Far away...

67 instead of 66.. but close. Dont help me question my decision. That was tough.

Thanks guys.. in our group of 5 we will be hunting elephant, hippo and cape buffalo. As well as various plains game. For me im specifically going for cape buffalo and kudu. We will all be 1x1 with our ph's.. Final phone call tomorrow with 1 of the 2 outfits we were looking at. Kinda up to the...

I sent you a pm.. ive heard of that rifle builder. In Europe correct? If rifle in states thats great but not sure whats involved with importing a firearm. thanks for the reply either way.

Sorry guys i should have been more specific. 1st, I did find a 300 rum for 800.00 but before building a jeffery i thought id see if I could fine one done. But if someone had a 300 rum for less than 800, well thats always good.. Building will take 4 to 6 months and 3 to 4 grand according to my...

Hey guys. Found this website while looking for a 404 Jeffery. If anybody has one for sale let me know. ;) if i can find one ill end up with a 416 rem, but just love the 404 history and having something a little different. Planning a safari to Zimbabwe next year. Joined the group because it...

Whoever bought it.. if ya want to sell it. :) just message me.. i was a little late to the party..

Hey guys, Going on my 1st safari next September in Zimbabwe. Had considered a 416 remington but really always loved the classic 404 jeffery. Figured i see if anyone had one to sell? Like it to be CRF, iron sights as well as drilled for a scope mount and prefer a barrel band. I see a few posts...
