For the big bore lovers...

From top..

Lee Enfield P14 in .470 Capstick,
Mauser M66S in .458 Winchester-Magnum
Mauser M98 by FN in 450 Marlin

Unfortunately, until now, only the .404 saw action in Africa :(

Some beauties for sure!
 
HWL you need to take all those fine rifles to Africa!
 
Neat looking rifles, some very different looking scope mounts.

...great idea....but I have to earn my money the hard way, ....and when I go to Africa, it is more an escape than a journey.

But to talk about the ideal "African Batterie" would be also a great thread....

You don't need a batterie, you already have a 404..... ;););)(y)

You have everything you need for Africa. That 404 and 375 will do all required work.
 
Nice collection.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
