12ga, 10ga, 8ga, 4ga FH; 585HE, 700HE; Big Bores--

Hi Ed!
New here on AFRICA forum...guess I will slowly be posting some heavy hitter stuff too...
If we could only get the 12ga FH in a operating reliable Benelli!! Lol
Best I can do is 8 fast shots of 880s Hardcast at 14-1500fps (or 1043s at 11-1200) into a charging locomotive ...now one must admit thats ALOT of Lead and Energy in under 2 seconds ![emoji95](roughly a pound of lead![emoji33]) All from a 7pd ULTRA Reliable platform!!
I wish I could take it to Australia one trip to do some culling!!
Hope all is well with you! SAFARIKID[emoji1783][emoji1258]

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
