A gunsmith buddy turned me on to a product called GUN SAV'R Gunstock Finish Hunter Satin. It's in a spray can and I got it from Brownell's. I picked up a beater Winchester 70 375 H&H that looked like someone had used it as a boat paddle, stock was sound just looked rough and needed re-bluing...

I use Trijicon RMR and SRO on my work pistol and rifle respectively daily. The majority of my personal self-defense weapons are the same setup, so I'm a big fan of Red Dot Optics, especially Trijicon. I've got RMR's on my Sabatti 9.3x74r and 12ga doubles, however the majority of my hunting rigs...

Happy Resurrection Day

My PH handles the paperwork on his side for me before I arrive. I’ve done it in the past and didn’t have a problem though.

I run a Trijicon 1x6 Accupoint on my Winchester 375 H&H. For my buffalo I kept it on 1, for my PG I turned it up as needed. If you’re taking a 100 yard shot on buff, I think you’re safe to turn it up.

I’ve used Air Tags since the technology came out and while I’ve never had to use it, it’s a good tool if/when gear goes missing.

We shoot a bunch every year and cook'em all for the most part. Every now and then, we'll get one that has been fighting and is gamey from cut's/infection and we'll kick those off in a hole. My wife would rather have wild hog than any other game meet that I bring home. Our southern pigs are...

I am in need of a Gun Dealer who can assist with shipping a rifle to a gun dealer in South Africa. This will be a permanent export to my PH. Please reach out of if someone knows of someone with experience please let me know, thanks.

Excellent day!

Barnes TSX 300 gn in my 375 H&H on my buff, no pictures of the damage but heart/lung one shot piled up in about 70 yards, recovered round under the skin far side.

It didn't happen if there's no pictures!

I'm a couple of hours away from Atlanta and will be attending the DCS while it's here. Also made SCI this year since it was right up the road in Nashville. I've attended/worked SHOT where it's a known commodity where to stay/eat/get around and having hosted numerous conferences in a former...

I’ve used both and still do. I’m running a Winchester 70 also and my 165 and 180 loads both group properly with only a minor dope change between the two. I use the 165 for WT down south and Tx and the 180 on WT up north and on Plains Game in Africa. I’m fortunate that my rifle likes both.

I acquired a Sabatti 9.3x74r double with a Trijicon RMR 2moa red dot this past fall for still hunting/stalking. Since then its taken two whitetail and two hogs. It will be going with me to SA in July and plan on using it this fall on black bear and hogs. I’m waiting on a 30-06 I recently ordered...

If I hadn't of just bought another Win 70 in 30-06 a couple of weeks ago, I'd be all over this. GLWS

Courtney Leather zip ups and I’ve also got some Boyt Harness canvas ones as backups. I prefer the leather as I’ve pulled them up to cover my knees when crawling.

I try to target mature animals and at this stage in life, those past prime. One caveat that I'll throw out for consideration, keep in mind the overall realistic size/quality for the area you're hunting. This past deer season here in Georgia, I drew a quota hunt tag for one of our coastal barrier...

Does anyone know of a source here in the US for RWS ammo? Specifically looking for 9.3x74r.

Lon my rifle is 1” at 50 yards with the ammo it was regulated with and just over that with Federal Swift A Frames. My point was and is, with various ammo you get different results that can be all over the place….which was the point of the question. I am very familiar with Ken and his excellent work.

In my Sabatti it’s all over the place. Federal Swift A frames almost identical but everything else I’ve tried I get varied results of anywhere from 2 to 10 inches difference at 50 yards

Hyde Hunter….. used Zingela Forwarders. Good communication every step of the way.

Trijicon 1x6 Accupoint

I received my crate from SA in November 23. 9 euros (buffalo, eland, kudu, Gemsbok, nyala, Impala, Springbok, blue and black wildebeest) springbok and blue wildebeest tanned hides. Airfreight to Atlanta and Coppersmith fees $2700.

Welcome aboard Andy! I run your ghost ring sights on a number of my lever guns and love the product. Looking forward to hearing and sharing stories with y'all.

Looking for a TuffPak 1050.

Good for you, I’m looking for the same Tuffpak 1050

I’ve read this thread with amusement, specifically at the number of “outdoorsmen” who advise there’s no need to carry a knife. While we all have our opinions as to whether an edged weapon is needed, the documented facts are that many individuals have used them successfully in defense of life...

Barnes TSX 300 grain in 375 H&H Winchester 70, one shot Cape Buffalo kill at 25ish yards. Shot was point of the shoulder and lodged under skin far side after passing through both shoulders, perfect mushroom.

Welcome aboard from NW Ga….Airborne and Semper Fi!

Welcome from NW Ga. You’ll find plenty of good info and general good natured folks around here.

This is my current pack of Jack Russell’s, 10 month old brother/sister Rudy and Mazie. Both are already doing great at blood trailing and doing well on dry tracks also.

jimbo1972, welcome to AH! I’m next door in Euharlee, give me a yell.

Welcome aboard, I’m in Bartow County.

I have a 9.3x74r double by Sabatti, very accurate and handles very well. Can’t go wrong with this option.

I run LVPO’s on several bolt guns. I use Trijicon exclusively due to their reliability and durability….. bet my life on their products at work each day. I’ve got an Accupoint 1x6 on my Winchester 70 375 H&H that I use in Africa as well as an Accupoint 1x4 on a Marlin 45-70 for bear. Both are set...

Winchester 70 375 H&H 24" barrel, Trijicon Accupoint 1x6, Barnes 300 Grain TSX. Shot distance appox 25/30 yards, impact point of shoulder and recovered intact under the skin on offside shoulder. Distance traveled from impact to recovery was appox 100 yards. SA 2023.

As has been said before, spray and hang dry clothing/boots two weeks prior to actual hunt with Permethrin. Daily, I use Picaridin lotion and wipe over my exposed skin. If bitten by something I use Afterbite-Xtra. I use this regiment in Africa and in the deep south of the US where ticks...

I’ve been running Winchester 70’s in various calibers since the 70’s and currently have 11 and an outstanding 375 H&H in the Safari Express and have also had the Alaska model. I’m prejudiced but I don’t think you can go wrong with a 70 and pair it with a good Trijicon Accupoint 1x6….. just my .02.

In all fairness, you need to post these at a reasonable hour for us EST folks before we go to bed! Seriously, great deal and congratulations on a steal.

I’ll take’em. PM inbound.

Bucket list, congratulations

I run a Daniel Defense DD5 in 308 with a Trijicon 1x6 Accupoint and a suppressor…..recoil is a non-issue. Extremely accurate and reliable. Used it this season on a WMA quota hunt here in GA, two deer, two pigs, four shots. I’d stick with the 308 just because of your ammo options.

Dang it, just missed it!

If you want to hunt Buffalo on your first trip, then do so, I did. The 416 will work for you, although I am in the camp of a “medium” gun and a big “gun”. I ran a 30-06 and 375 H&H my last couple of trips abroad although 375 is minimum for a big gun.

I've got four of their stocks on various Winchester 70's, great product.

I have a Buck Boiler which uses a low powered electrical current that warms and slightly agitates the water without bringing it to a boil. it comes with small packets of detergent but a small amount of Dawn works as well and as has been said before, change the water as soon as you start seeing...
