22lr 30-06 9,3x64 The global universal set. You can adequately hunt with these 99% of the game on our planet. The two bigger ones are beltless, superbly balanced and efficient cartridges.

You can deactivate the set trigger feature quite simply. But thorough testing of the trigger function is advised after that. I did that on my standard 550 in 300wm . Instructions were in the CZ US catalogue 10 years ago.

What's the objective diameter of your scope? I once procured for a hunting buddy two Blaser mounts, one original, one aftermarket, 1 inch tube scope with 42 diameter. The original was a bit lower. For me, his stock with that mount was still a little too high and uncomfortable. An added cheek...

I had once a guest, a German businessman and avid hunter, with a great passion for Africa. He never took trophies back home. His way is enjoy the adventure, make good pictures to boost the memories and don't bother with all the logistics of trophy shipping and import. He hunted antelopes all...

I think one should tip the state employee who rather quickly issues one's driving license or passport for traveling abroad. Oh, wait, that's a bribe, then, isn't it ? Or still rewardable service? But then at least one should bribe I mean tip the mechanic who services your car and the airport...

CRIES of the Savanna

Did you sell it ? Just curious for how much ))) None on ebay currently, so don't have a ln index. But I see that the 12 ga got substantially cheaper now. March 2022 was a heavy peak, considerably cheaper now.

In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS Honorable gesture, happy hunting and a successful outfitters' business ✊

I have read over the weekend some of the snake threads here on AH. I don't like snakes and I am quite afraid of them, on a ancient, instinct level. I've been often outdoors with grandpa (beekeeper) and or my father as a boy, and sometimes "stoned" the occasional adder, most often encountered...

In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS Thanks. Have a nice further journey C.P.

Did he? I've read it remained an idea. The x65R Brenneke is a fabulous concept, though. Not to be confused with 9,3x65R Collath, a 120 years old lame duck for old drillings.

don't know about Orsis. I think the Kalashnikov Group (former Lmost bankrupt Izhmash) is currently manufacturing a bolt action Los-9, Push-feed, 2 stage trigger safety. IMHO, a profoundly ugly and crude gun. Topped only by the Tigr and Orsis, but both tactical military guns, aesthetics...

I am not yet a reloader (except for shotguns) and don't have the knowledge on that, but I talked recently during a hunt to a nice young fellow, who happened to be quite into reloading. And this guy regularly reloads the 9,3x64 for his father and his old Steyr S rifle. He talked about reduced...

Are there nowadays any manufacturers who offer the Brenneke chambered in their rifles? I saw a couple of years ago that the new Mauser company (Blaser Group) had them in their cartridge list for the revived M98, but as of of July 2022 it's not in their list. Voere of Kufstein, Austria, had...

Let me revive this thread a bit... because of love for this great round! I have a couple of questions and remarks which I will post in separate postings, easier to reply and criticize ))

Any idea where CZ gets them from ? Turkey?

R&M FIREARMS Nice shop, good offer, thanks.

Happy hunting over there, Mr. Pappas✊ In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS

Wasn't there in the beginning of this thread a philosophy "when in Rome... etc."...?

The 9,3x74R double is definitely the most classy suggestion ))) A Bergstutzen combining a >7mm rifle cartridge and 12 gauge comes in second. A Drilling with 2x12/70 and 1x 9,3x74R would be nice, too. I used a handy 12g Winchester 1300 defender pump in bear country. Slugs only. Trained...

Happy hunting there and a nice further journey! In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS

Very nice and honorable from you guys to do that in memory of a client and friend. In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS Wish you land your business lots of success in your future operations.

Thank you for this thoughtful posting, appreciate it.

You're right. The new original mauser magnum action is in the price stratosphere. Hard to beat a cz there .

Oh this victimizing crap about civilized world and envy of the barbarians ))) That is a show act and Hollywood. Why don't You get it: The world does not envy the US achievement, it's too busy building / preserving its own. You claim to have travelled the bigger part of this planet -...

To bring it into some context for You: Not everybody, who posted in this thread or visits Africa for hunting, likes or condones certain current "americanesque" habits for tipping, which have developed there in the past. God forbid, even some hunters from the US had a feeling to be pressured for...

If I were into this game, I should come up with Indians, Inuit and French to club a Canuck ))) Some First Nations and rapacious colonial land grabbing guilt ))) Thanks God, I am a conservative ))) It seems that You are not much into words and written arguments and a debate: Here's some video...

I do believe that the self-proclamation of superior values and ethics is rather on the other side... The World observes the emanation of certain high values and ethics for the last 76 years... I guess You are entitled to it. By the right of the economic and military hegemony. And as...

As a matter of fact - neither I, nor someone from my generation has colonized Africa. I refuse inherited guilt. And before You start dishing out personal insults - Read this thread, read the posts from European hunters and their view on this matter. And also the posts from RSA people, how they...

Fair enough. but that was exactly the point of discussion in this thread for several posts. I should have added the quotes in my post, since you have obviously skipped reading / memorizing key points of this thread

And I am going for a uniform safety operating direction with all my rifles, Win 70 style, not the cocking / backward type of a ZG47 or ZKK60..

I get it ! ))) And I myself hate the elite clubs circle in European football. But what you write about, isn't it pure socialism, by definition? There must be at least something good in socialism, Comrades )) Like Comrade Sanders said ))! Now linking it to safaris in South Africa: US clients...

I've owned and own some CZs and was looking for the last 12 months or so for a ZG47 in Germany and/or Austria. The dream was to custom build a 9,3x64 Brenneke for a planned Africa trip and to have a sexy classic spare rifle for guests/visiting friends in a moderate (maybe a 7 x57 or x64)...

I admire the USA. I do (partially) believe in the free world ideology. But this very thread seems to confirm some of the sad, major anti-us stereotypes. When our US friends cite "when in Rome" ... it is so bloody contradictory! RSA & Namibia did not have this tipping culture until US clients...

In the countries I know of, it's that way: You first obtain a certificate that you are proficient to own a firearm (usually from police regarding no previous felony convictions and / or medicinal institution regarding no mental health diagnosis). Then you are admitted to your hunter's exam. Then...

Germany, most certainly. It varies, though, depending in which federal subject you are in. But they all follow some basic criteria. - Pay minimum 1500€ / ~2000 euros. - Extensive theoretical base to learn including biology, zoology, forestry, basics of agriculture, gun smithing, kynology...

First bolt action rifle, 350 mg or 416 - That knob at the root of the barrel, right after the action, is it a scope mount base ?

A business mentor and friend invited me once to a driven boars hunt and borrowed me his Blaser S2. One of his 25 rifles, I guess. I had good success at this hunt and fell in love with this rifle. Talked him into selling it to me. While being a piece of modern cnc gunsmithing, it's still a...

I wonder whether the African PHs / farm / outfit owners tip their mechanic, who takes care of their LCs also with 10 to 15% of the total amount of their invoice. And I bet they heavily rely on their vehicles, especially with situations in mind, when their lives depend on it (reaching the...

It was mentioned in this thread that in Germany tipping in restaurants is usually included in the bill being 10%. That's wrong. I live (partially because of long-term work abroad) for 30 years in Germany and when in the country, at least once a month eating out. And never had a bill which...

That was my first thought, when discovered this thread. But the one on the plaque is still considerably larger than powalgarhs. Not to mention the 12 ft monster the honorable professor refers to. I actually thought that a Siberian tiger would top the list, however that's not the case ...

I think that it was this way: If it's a daytime attack, then it's surely a tiger. At night, it could be either of them. If I remember correctly. And I guess it was said in the Rudraprayag story.

I once joined a bunch of good buddies on their spearfishing trip. Did some fishing, waterfowl shooting and boar stalking when they drove out for to their spots. One evening one of the guys told us his story, how he got attacked by a group of snakeheads after shooting one of them. He apparently...

And one more point on magnification: It's so sexy nowadays to have that double-digit xfactor. I wonder how hunters came along 30-50 years ago. I find 8x more stable and not so shaky as a 10x, especially when you glass for hours on and on. But maybe it's just me. And you have a better FoV and...

I had fantastic results glassing in dawn and dusk / moonlit nights with my 8x 56 geovid. Its light capabilities are outstanding and I had often direct comparisons with other models/top brands. Yes, you'd be less unhappy dragging a x42 up a mountain, but the x56 is more versatile. Especially if...
