Excited to be here. Hunted North America for 51 years primarily white tail deer. Bucket list is to hunt moose and go to Africa for a cost effective plains game hunt. Just bought a 416 Rigby. Love the site especially the forem
World's most popular community & resource for hunting in Africa since 2007

Welcome aboard Rare Breed. What kind of 416 Rigby did you get? Have you taken it to the range yet? If so, pics of the results are in order providing you were able to get the rifle sighted in. Don't worry about going to Africa, this bunch will help push you over the edge sooner than you think. No joke, hunting there is a hoot and once you go, rest assured you'll be going back.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
