Leaving for 4 weeks of hunting and touring in Zim and RSA next Wednesday. The outfitter in Zim has requested that I leave some of my unfired .458 Lott rounds in camp for the camp rifle. I have no problem with this, however, I understand that Zim counts the fired and unfired ammo when you leave...

The Bad News - my Cape Buffalo Hunt in Zimbabwe scheduled for May 2020 is delayed until May 2021. The Good News - Everyone has been great and provided full credit and new reservations for 2021. The Side Effect - I have another year to prepare and be more ready than otherwise. I have been...

My new Blaser in .458 Lott is fun to shoot, however, it is difficult to shoot this firearm a lot due to its significant recoil. I know I can reduce recoil by reducing the load and velocity to replicate a .458 Win Mag, however, if I wanted a Win Mag I would have purchased a Win Mag. Similarly...

My Krieghoff Classic in .470 NE is a lot of fun to shoot, however 8 rounds and I am thinking I might shoot my .375 H&H or my .300 Weatherby for a while. A possible solution is to replace the recoil pad with a KickEEZ or a Limbsaver. I have done a bit of research on each but desire info from...

In order to be a better rifleman, one needs to shoot, then shoot and then shoot some more. Not off the bench, as that is only necessary for sighting in. All subsequent shooting must be from hunting positions, sitting, off hand and from sticks. Shoot, shoot, shoot. Money, money, money. Even if...

In anticipation of my third annual Safari to South Africa with Sun Africa Safaris in Pearston, Eastern Cape, I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos in an attempt to become a better Hunter and a better Client as well shooting, shooting and shooting and reading every recent and classic book...

Hi, Last year, for the second year in a row, my wife and I went to South Africa to hunt, tour and do some mission work. I elected to take a few extra animals and I also elected to do a little compensatory shopping and purchased something nice for my wife. On leaving the country, I filled out...

Has anyone had any experience with replacing a Kriegkhoff stock?? I recently purchased a new (to me) Krieghoff Classic Big Five in .470NE. I purchased this firearm because I believe that this maker provides me with an extremely safe, accurate and dependable firearm within my budget. I also...

Is there an industry standard for regulation loads in double rifles or does each manufacturer choose their own? If there is an industry standard what is the standard for .470 NE? If each manufacturer chooses their own, what is Krieghoff's regulation load for their Classic Big Five in .470 NE...

I recently purchased this Krieghoff Classic Big 5 in .470 NE but it is still in shipment from the UK. The engraving is signed "KN" and my research to date indicates that Kathrin Nonn, an independent engraver who occasionally works on Krieghoffs and other fine firearms, did this work. Can anyone...

Hi. I'm new to this forum and have only been to Africa twice, but, being a mathematician and engineer, I tend to study and accumulate as much data as possible. The information on the threads here and on other sites has been extremely helpful. This information, coupled with almost 60 years of...
