It had been months of planning. We have a property near Northam in the Limpopo Province that has blown up with giraffe the last few years. It i not something we thought we would hunt, but they have just got a bit out of control, with some 15 giraffe on the +/- 400 hectare property. We had...

Hi guys! I am reintroducing myself. I used to be relatively active a few years ago, but between studying and hunting I just never got around to posting my own threads or replying to others threads/comments. So here I am (again). So just a quick about me: I live in South Africa, and have...

Hi guys, I was offered a second hand Steyr Mannlicher in 375H&H but I cant find any information on second hand prices anywhere for this calibre. I have found 308, 7x64, 9.3x62 etc. prices but I haven't come across a 375 price yet. I shot the rifle over the weekend and it feels really...
