Elephant Hunt with Verney Carron 600 NE

It is very much a privilege indeed to face down an elephant and to bring one home. The second shot did good work but the beast still moved upon impact of the body shot. They are mighty tough animals. Congrats to the hunter.
 
Taken at 15 meters. In my book a proper and sporting elephant hunt.

Very nice video! One fine elephant!
 
It is readily apparent that a double rifle in a suitable caliber is the correct tool for a job like this.
Up close and personal is not the time to be second guessing your decision to bring a bolt gun.
Well done to the hunter, PH, outfitter and film crew.

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

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?
