Color rendition makes a big difference as well as glare. try some Wiley X Captivate shooting glasses, game changer.

Nice Mozambique coutada 9 bull, 56” , open sights @65yrds, 416 rigby 350 gr Barnes tsx

I’ve ordered from him multiple times, no problems at all.

I’d pass on hunting with tv personalities, I work in the hunting and shooting sports industry in the US and I don’t even know who half those people mentioned are.LOL

I've cut Kynoch wads down and used filler in a lot of calibers with no problems at all, it just burns up , and best to keep the powder column squared up within the case for consistent ignition. That being said I've shot a 416 rigby a lot and never felt the need.....take some pics if you can of...

I hope African countries ,(and other locations around the world) have the courage to stand up to the whack jobs (europeans and these idiots in the US & Canada) that seem to be screaming the loudest against the true and natural way of life that hunting provides. We are at odds with truly empty...

My last safari to Coutada 9 in Moz they did the same thing, works like magic. Those bugs are annoying. I also used skin so soft bug repellant/sunscreen and only had been bitten twice by the end of a 10 day safari, where i had missed application.......and the place was alive with tsetse flies

FIND A STEYR SCOUT IN 376 STEYR, PROBLEM SOLVED

Once your dressed give a couple spays of permethrin

The point is a rifle can be perfect one way or the other, happy medium is not perfect for either.

I too make "official looking custom labels" and clear tape them to new plastic cases. Headstamp has to match gun as previously mentioned and you won't have any problems.

Scopes are all personal preference and opinion. that rifle is beautiful. Parkwest/Dakota being employee owned now is producing better guns than ever. Their equipment has all been modernized and the pride they are taking in their work is at the highest level. IMO the best value in new...

The current chapuis iphisi has the same ejector mechanism. Contact a memeber here named tom Leoni, we work together, he is the product manager for chapuis at benelli USA,….he will put your mind completely at ease. If anything goes wrong they are completely fixable.

I had one of the best rifle makers in the country tell me once that, “you either build a rifle for express sights or an optic, not both”.that doesn’t mean you can’t put a scope on a express rifle, but both sight platforms won’t be completely natural. There is such a thing as a comb to “high”...

I agree that it's important to document what's coming from where as far as genetics etc. Everywhere I've hunted it seems that the pH's or outfitters do keep track. I measure things just so I know what I just took from this world. My personal choice is pins, plaques, badges, levels blah blah...

It's hard., I travel for work, my body is shot from mountain bike crashes, football injuries, etc. It's easy to hate the gym, I try and walk a lot, and bike a lot, but even that is hard to do in Michigan 5 months out of the year with winter. 30 Years ago I could run a 4.5-40yrd, now if I went...

Just taking the action out for the stock makes it pack down small. I don't know if I'd pay for the takedown feature unless it was Weibe. The Dakota/Parkwest is cool too and reasonably affordable. I just pack the full length rifle in the light weight single Boyt travel case, in its soft case...

4 more years of Biden and the firearms industry in the USA will be gutted , the atf has already started with the ffl holders

The pocket edition is great reference

Or….do yourself a favor and buy the fn 375 that is for sale right now in the classifieds

They are a good rifle for the money, the pillar bedding is a good suggestion. They will get the job done. There is nothing else at that price point that compares.

I've only seen (1) 60" kudu bull, it was in Zimbabwe Sengwa concession the 2nd year after covid, I was hunting with Makore at the time, but they no longer have that area now. It was a beautiful animal, sucks that we were just going for a ride on the first afternoon to take some pics,.....the...

I've only been on a hand full of safaris using various calibers from 375 to 500J, so I'm not speaking with as much experience as many on here. But it seems to me that once you get to the 50's the whole Idea was perhaps to drive solids of heavy weight further and faster, through say an elephant...

Always volatile in election years,........not much good has come out of Vista from the beginning. Sadly IMO , the majority of the executives running the major firearms companies in the US don't care at all about the 2nd Amend or Guns & Hunting in general. They are in it for the money and it...

+1 on lapping, had this issue before myself. Doesn't take much usually to get it straight

All good advice, follow it. I got hammered by pepper ticks after a zim trip, wasn't feeling well for a few weeks after. tetse flies don't like skin so soft bug repel and sun block...don't know why but I hunted area for 10 days in infested mozambique location and only got bit 3-4 times in areas...

Leica 8x32.

Collectibles insurance - full coverage for travel and shipping. 400ish a year for 100k in coverage. Never had to file a claim so hard to tell how good they are , hopefully I never find out

Have multiple 375 no cross bolts, never had a problem. I/4 ribs done right are great, but I don’t think they carry as well as a island rear.

I work for Benelli USA and Chapuis is part of our line up, I don't see the 450-400 going anywhere. It's a real common sense choice for a versatile double without the punishing recoil. Now the question is will they build a an Iphisi model in 450-400,.....even if it was an extractor gun I...

Congrats, I as well agree on Webley Long Bar, Have a Manton 470 that family will have to pry from my cold dead hands upon my death.

PRICE REDUCTION,......$11,000, Anyone interested---???

there is a pretty cool 375 ruger hawkeye on GI right now that just reduced its price, someone should buy it, it s a screaming deal, Lieca scope, HS stock,.....and no its not me listing it.

45-70, awesome caliber, great rifle. Loaded with super hard cast bullet in a modern action to maximum velocity with a 400gr slug,......maybe not ideal for everything in africa but pretty sure it would get the job done.

If you ever get to the West Coast of Michigan make sure to try some Copper Craft.......good stuff

Take the scope off, get on your hands and knees and crawl as close as you can, stand up and bang ‘em’. Lol. On the topics of scopes….i just spoke with leupold the other day about some warranty issues on a m8 3x I recently picked up. In the course of the conversation I mentioned to the guy...

I insist on walking a lot, wouldn’t accept it any other way at this point in my hunt career. I have done it once and will never do it again. If a person is disabled that would the exception imo. I’m sure there are people that aren’t disabled but just fat and out of shape….i leave that to them...

Good for Botswana.

Rookhawks summary above is nearly perfect IMO. I wouldn't take a kid over there unless they showed genuine interest in the whole thing. My step kids (both boys) 13 and 14 see all the trophies in my house, pictures, etc, but don't really show all that much interest in it at all. They don't...

I will use Woodleigh bullets exclusively when they are back in play, proper bullets, proper performance.

Seems pretty spot on.

That could be "the one"

I currently don't have any Rifles in Weatherby calibers in my collection, but I have regretted selling (2) HS precision rifles I had, a 270 Weatherby, the other a 340 Weatherby. The Norma Weatherby brass was extraordinarily easy to load over and over again, the rounded shoulders fed like a...

I don't see Africa changing, and I don't know if I see that as a problem. Russia and China sure are going to suck it dry though, then what?

That’s done right , really nice looking rig. Who did the work?

GMA 416 Rigby.

Collectibles Insuarnce Agency----they insure a lot of odd collections, including guns, during travel, use, fire, theft, and shipping. they have been easy to work with but I've never needed to file a claim as of yet.

Well maybe all the 375 guys have realized that saying that is the equivalent to saying all you need is that portly somewhat homely looking gal sitting in the corner.

Nothing wrong with shooting Buffalo with a 577. Congrats, that’s a nice rifle. What did they regulate it with, that would be a good starting point for loads. You should try the cordite formula and get some imr 3031.
