Great gun. I am looking for a left 416 Rigby, but that looks like a good one.

She was sitting in her rocking chair on the porch of the retirement home when a little genie appeared and said, “I’ve decided to grant you three wishes.” The little old lady answered, “Buzz off, you little twerp, I’ve seen all the wise guys I need to in my life.” The genie answered, “Look, I’m...

Thank you!

HH, and others here, I have heard of GMA Mauser actions in lefty but not the builders you mention. Can you provide more details of these builders such as their company names for contact? I may do a custom big bore lefty build, as you describe, in the coming years. Thanks.

Truth!

What is the occassion of the great sale? Just the warehouse move? Not going out of business are they?

Question for our cousin Brits - Overall, big picture wise, is it good or bad that he is leaving? As an American it sounds bad that a conservative is gone but I don't know anything about his politics or the latest news in Great Britain these days. I don't trust much from American news anymore...

So much truth in that story

So well put. Thank you. I have hunted elephant in Botswana and that is spot on.

Welcome from another Houstonian! This is a great site!

I know Frans/Kwatale had a 90+ pounder this year. Great outfitter highly recommended. But as mentioned, absolutely nothing is guaranteed on these bulls. Early season seems best opportunity for bigger bulls. But there is a lot of “luck” with eles, just being in the right place at right time...

Also try Frans Van Der Merwe at Kwatale in Botswana.

Frederik, Congratulations on the lion. Great shooting with that 458 Lott!! I like that setup with the red dot. I am looking for a CZ 458 Lott Lefty and that looks like a nice setup. Well done and great shooting!

300 Weatherby Magnum. Kicks like a mule and is not accurate. I have had it accurized, installed a Swarovski scope with good mounts, but still not accurate and is no fun to shoot.

Agree 100%

Woke Socialism is like a cancer US is fighting internally. Biden has no real support from right or left right now. But he’s a symptom of a bigger disease we are fighting. We will pull thru it or die trying.

The Nigerian email guy asking for my bank account numbers.

Absolutely, will do.

First was Namibia in 2014 for Leopard. Never saw one or had one on bait - long story. But got some nice plains game and learned some valuable African hunting lessons. Recent trip was much better.

Great advice, thanks Velo. I have checked GI a few times the past few weeks and will continue to stay on it. Appreciate the advice!

Thanks Jerome, great site! Praying for SA.

Will do. Thanks Manny!

Definitely. I will do that. It was with Kwatale - a great outfitter - I had a great time. Frans and his team did a superb job with everything.

Thanks Mark. Good to meet you.

Thanks Chashardy. I reached out to Rigby and they can't do the LH 416 in the Big Game, but only in London Best - which starts at about 25k pounds. So I will keep looking. But I would certainly like an actual Rigby, if in a lower price bracket.

Rick from Houston Texas and it is a pleasure to meet you all. I have been looking thru the forums the past few weeks and have really enjoyed the hunt reports, humor pages and Safari offers. I have hunted mostly Texas Hill Country/South Texas but also Colorado Mule Deer, Montana Elk and others...
