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
Mauser M98 by Mauser in .404 Rimless Jeffrey

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.

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)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew
