    Giving up hunting

    My friend, I am with you. After watching two TV shows where the hunters were bragging about their return to Africa for another great safari and then watching them kill all their animals out of a blind built over a concrete water hole I am sick. Do they not know the difference between hunting...

    Hunting Common Reedbuck

    It appears as though KZN is the place to hunt Common Reedbuck. I took this 15 1/4" in KZN while on a Nyala hunt. I passed up a 12"er early that evening in hopes of seeing something a bit bigger. I got lucky and it paid off. Congratulations to you on a great trophy.

    Problem with new CZ 550 in .416 Rigby

    Have the same rifle, scope and mount combination. Even added a limbsaver pad to mine as well. Great gun, shoots well...very happy with it.

    Problem with new CZ 550 in .416 Rigby

    Also have a CZ 550 American in 416 Rigby and have used it on several hunts for Cape Buffalo. The gun has always fired religiously. One of the best shooting rifles I own. I hope you get your problem straightened out because I believe the CZ is one heck of a gun for the money. Good luck.

    TSX in 270 and 300 Win.

    I've used the 165gr in the 300 Win on numerous game animals with very good success. My zebra went less than 30 yards on a going away quartering shot. The only problem I had was one bullet fired at a Blue Wildebeeste came apart and only the back part of the bullet was left in the opposite side...

    Hi M. Egan, Thanks for the Buff advice and yes I did take a 42 1/4 Gemsbok which the PH claims was the largest ever shot on that concession. Sometimes you are just in the right place at the right time and lady luck smiles on you.

    REAL MAN'S RIFLES

    Real men shoot whatever gets the job done and I would bet the 375 H&H has proven that more often than any other caliber. Personally I use a 416 Rigby on Buff, but would have no problem using a 375 H&H. You only need that big 600 Nitro double if you are going to shoot them in the bum just to...

    7 day buffalo hunt in Zimbabwe $9900

    Are you for real? I contacted you six months ago about a elephant and buffalo hunt which you quoted at $23,000. You said to look you up at the Harrisburg, PA USA show in Feb and we would iron out the details. I looked for you at the show and you were nowhere to be found even though you were...
