    .375 or .416 for Cape buffalo?

    I just returned from a 24 day hunt in the Caprivi. I took my Kimber "Caprivi" 375 H&H and my 65 prc. My 375 has almost no recoil and I took a very nice buffalo and hippo with one shot each. I used barnes tsx loads and they performed very well. Recovered both bullets and they weighed 278 grains...

    TIPPING

    Like I said this was my first trip to Africa. I have cancer and my PH became a good friend as well as my PH. He always helped me when the going was rough including cutting me a walking stick and having one of the rangers carry my rifle on our long walks. I hunted the Caprivi and had the...

    TIPPING

    Last year was my first African Safari and my PH was totally awesome. He went the extra mile for me at all times. I harvested buffalo,sable,zebra,impala and springbok. I tipped my PH 5000, my tracker 400, the rangers 100 and 200, the cooks 100 each . I don't know if this was enough but it was all...

    Affordable big bores no longer being offered by the big guys

    Guns International and Gun Broker have the big bores up for sale quite often. In the past month I purchased a Kimber Caprivi in 458 lott unfired in the box from 2013. I was also able to purchase a Caprivi in 375 h&h. Both from Guns International.

    Post your top five biggest African animals!

    The claw marks on my Buff were from the two male Lions that were hanging on him. My Caracal was killed at the main camp on my last hour of the hunt. All my other animals were taken on the Caprivi.

    Hunting SA or "Wild" Africa - Which is Better

    Thank you Gerry, I was able to purchase the Kimber. Now I have to decide on which one to take to Namibia. My CZ550 Magnum,my Christensen or my Kimber. The Christensen is probably out as it is a push feed. I will shoot the cz and the Kimber to see which one feels the best to me. The Kimber has...

    Hunting SA or "Wild" Africa - Which is Better

    One short story. On my trip last July when I shot my buff he was in a herd and we were in the high reeds. The shot was about 25 yds. After the shot I couldn't see a thing from the dust cloud. When it settled i asked me PH where the buff went. He said it ran in the reeds we were in. The rest of...

    Hunting SA or "Wild" Africa - Which is Better

    Just got home from Nashville. My first SCI show. Much bigger than I thought. Great time and now I'm more pumped(if that is even possible). Going back to the Caprivi for 25 days.

    Thank you for the information. My PH had a Kimber which I hunted with. It worked well but this year I want to take my own rifle. I have a Christensen 375 but I think I want a controlled feed which the Christensen is not.

    Hunting SA or "Wild" Africa - Which is Better

    I am not an expert on hunting in Africa as last year was my first time. A very good friend recommended Omujeve Safaris and I am glad he did. I had a great hunt and it was what I would call wild Africa. I hunted the Caprivi out of their Ivory camp. I took my first buffalo (hard horned) with...
