First Hunt w/video

Looks like a fun first hunt and nice video.

I tried hard to ignore how much I hate the rifle! but the impact on game really surprised me. I wasn’t expecting such dramatic results with such a slow bullet.

Shot placement always help but that round performed very well!
 
I also found a skew-horned waterbuck in Africa. I love the character too. Great video, and great hunt.

Can you fill us in on the specifics of your rifle? :)
 
Great video. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts and emotions around the hunt for each animal.

I didn’t realize there were two rifles. I thought it was just 8.6. What did you take with each one?

Hello,
I might be able to help you out depending on how many you need. I could probably spare 50-75 .285g A-Frames. They are factory pulls that look like new. Let me know if you are still looking,
Thanks,
Gary

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
