Beretta, I was in a situation very similar to you. I was a bird hunter who hadn’t shot anything bigger than a rabbit before my first trip to Africa. A zebra was the first big game I ever shot. If you are comfortable shooting a rifle, and read up on shot placement you will be fine. It will change...

Maintenance costs, and the inability to do one’s own work due to proprietary electronics and generally overly complicated systems are an issue with new vehicles. This is one of the reasons I really like having older vehicles. I can easily and cheaply do all the work myself. I can assure you that...

And another, apropos to this forum

another great rover book:

Rare Breed, good on you for following your dream. Haters gonna hate. There is a place for everyone! I’ve had my 1965 series 2a 109 station wagon for more than 15 years, and it was my daily driver for 12 of those years. Always puts a smile on my face. Here it is with my newer truck, a 1980...

I’ll take one of the buck knives. PM sent Thanks Brian

I’ve had my 1965 series 2a Land Rover station wagon for about 15 years. Daily driver for about 12 of those. I recently moved to a small farm and the commute in rover is problematic as it won’t do more than 60 mph. I love this truck. I have a 2002 tundra 4x2 that came with the farm. Currently...

Image did t come through last post

I have previously posted on my 416 Rigby, the only full stocked one I have seen. One of my favorite rifles. I took a Buffalo with it in the Save valley Zimbabwe in 2019. My new 416 is an entirely different animal. A 1980 Mercedes Unimog 416 Doka. It lacks many of the creature comforts of...

They are Carom billiards tables. Snooker tables are large, but they do have holes. brian

I am interested in the Barnes banded solids if you are selling piecemeal.

CRIES of the Savanna

I reload 416 Rigby and (everything else) on a Forster co-ax. Agree with labman that components are going to be the difficulty currently.

"R&M FIREARMS"

In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS

Bullthrower, I will take 2 bags of 416 as well Brian

It is a factory stock, confirmed by Rigby, but it I was not the original owner so didn't order it.

Here’s my full stock 416. Only one I’ve ever seen

Great looking rifles. I love the full length stock. I brought a full length stock rifle both times I went to Africa, a Mannlicher-Shoenauer in .270 and a 416 Rigby.

I haven’t used the rcbs ammo master, but have been using my Forster coax for about 5 y. Reload 22 hornet up to 416 Rigby. I love it.

Ruark’s Horn of the hunter

Love your rifle. I have a kollmorgen 4x bear cub that came on my mannlicher 1956 MC. I still have the scope, but put a 3x9 on the rifle.

I prefer heavy caliber projectiles. I love 200 g aframes in my 300 h&h. It is my bullet of choice. Wildebeest, zebra, impala all fell with 1 well placed shot last trip to zim. 2850 fps Handloads.

416 Rigby with 400g A frames

My 300 H&H is the hinting companion to my 416 Rigby. I think they make a perfect pair.

Wonderful! I will see you tomorrow. Brian

Side x side. I started with American guns. I have a 12 g Parker VH from 1904,16 ga LC Smith field from 1927 and 20 ga Ithaca not sure exact vintage. More recently, over the last 10 y have been shooting English guns. Feel to me nimbler, lighter. I have a 12 bore 2.5 inch Mortimer from 1894, 12...

I enjoyed the 28ga discussion. I love side by side shotguns. My preferred quail/dove/clays gun is a Westley Richards 28 shooting 3/4 ounce hand loads. for pheasant or a change of pace I shoot a WR 12 bore droplock with 1 oz loads. I also have a Scottish 12 bore made by Mortimer and sons. My...

Great question! My favorite battery is my pre 64 model 70 in 300 H&H loaded with 200 grain A-frames, my 416 Rigby big game with 400 grain A-frames, and my 12 bore Westley Richards droplock. Both the rifles have been to Africa, but the shot gun has not. When I brought a shotgun to Africa it was...

I have one on my 416 Rigby. I love the strap. Nice and wide. Non slip. I carried the gun around the Save valley for 10 d and more than 50 miles in the summer of 2019 in search of a Buffalo .

I have several pieces from them, but not the rifle case you show. I have 2 of the canvas compact shotgun cases (one for 2 barrel set), one of the canvas cartridge cases, and one of the leather compact shotgun cases. I think they are well made. Obviously they don't fit as perfectly as a custom...

I have never worn sunglasses except in bright snow. Never worn them shooting. I wear clear lenses in my shooting glasses.

I have also shot Hornady DGX and DGS factory loads for practice and brass. I have some of the norma 450 g loads that were on sale a year ago, but haven't shot them. Most of my experience has been with hand loads. My load of choice is 400 g A frames. I also get good groups from 400 and 300 g TSX...

Agree with the rick young harness. You can wear it on chest, under arm, around neck. Light, and don’t need to worry about strap orientation.

Thank you Hoas. I have looked for a copy of this movie for several years, since I first heard of it, and have been unsuccessful. Brian

Hello Arapaho, I am just up the road in Durham. Welcome to AH Brian

Love the doubles! I have a beat up Parker VH 12 ga from 1905 that was my go to gun for many years, An LC Smith field grade in 16 ga from 1924 that is choked very tightly and an Ithaca SxS in 20 ga that is old and beat up. I have t shot any of them is years (except the Parker which went to...

I prefer a dog that will do it all. Water, thick stuff , point, retrieve , fur, fowl, blood track. Deutsch Drahthaar for me. He also kills every snake he can finds!

Looks great! I have a 1965 series IIa 109 station wagon in marine blue that is my daily driver in NC. Love the rover! Brian

I am getting wall pedestals of buff, wildebeest, and 1 impala. Euro of other impala and a zebra rug. It has been awhile since I wrote the check for the deposit, and can't remember off hand. I will try to look it up and let you know. Brian

Jonathan, I am in Durham, NC. My first trip to SA, I had taxidermy done in Africa. It was good. Prices were cheaper there. Shipping was expensive. Took more than 1 year. My most recent trip to Zimbabwe, I had the trophies (buff, wb, zebra, impala) dip and packed in Zim and sent to US. total...

300 H&H

I’ll bite. 416 Rigby Big Game with 1.2-5 detachable scope. Hand loaded 400 grain A frame and 400 grain Barnes solids if necessary 300 H&H Pre 64 model 70 with a 3-9 scope. Hand loaded 200 grain A frames. don’t think I would need a third gun, but if I could, I would bring a 12 bore SxS for a...

AFRICA SUN SAFARIS

I agree! My 1939 model 70 in “300 magnum” is my go-to plains game rifle. My son and I took impalas, zebra and wildebeest with it in Zim last year. I load 200 g A-frames. All one shotters. Only the buff got something different!
