New member heading to Zimbabwe in July

I have an R8 that has a 300 win mag barrel I’ll probably use but if I can find a double rifle barrel in a similar caliber for my Blaser S2 I’ll take that barrel and use the same gun. Currently using a 470 NE double Blaser rifle but hoping to find a 375 H&H barrel set.

You have great options ,the 300 win mag or .375 will be perfect for Leopard with a good scope. Good luck, looking for to the hunting report. July will be good time to hunt Leopard this year in Zimbabwe.

Thank you and I’ll be certain to post a report when I return. Right now I’m looking for a 375 S2 double rifle barrel. I currently have a 470 NE which is awesome but a lot of recoil that I’d like to get rid of.

I’ve been to Namibia for a rifle hunt of plains game and an archery hunt for Cape Buffalo in S Africa. Zimbabwe will be tuskless elephant and Leopard with a Blaser double rifle.

Welcome, Ward! Are you by chance affiliated with Parkwest? Have a great trip!

I am not affiliated with park west. What is that.

I agree. I look forward to reading about others adventures and getting ideas for mine.

I’m curious what outfitter you went with. I am going with Charlton/McCallum Safaris. Have sure heard good things about them. I have yet to have a bad experience in Africa. All the outfitters I’ve met are first quality.

I have been on 3 safaris with CMS. The hunt report I filed was the first one, Tuskless/Leopard/Buffalo. Are you going to Dande or Nyakasanga.

I’m hunting dande with CMS in a few years for buff leopard . Can’t wait

sounds like a fun hunt. Welcome aboard!
