ZIMBABWE: Two Pipe Talks

That was fantastic! Good shooting a couple great old animals. Congratulations!
 
It is hunts like that that make this sport what it is, worth waiting for that special week or two. What was that double?
 
Loved this video, very well done, waidmannsheil! A superb eland and a great old bull!
 
Glad to see the sable dead head we found is still next to the fire pit!
 
One heck of a shot on one heck of an eland! Great old buff. Well done.
 
What a good video. I could never pull off the interview segments, thoroughly impressed.

I hunted a tuskless with Tinie and Nixon in Dande and regret not having the experience filmed.

Well done on the shooting. Good Stuff!

The DR is a .470 NE guild gun, Fabrique d’armies de Leige (engraved on right barrel) made in 1956 according to the proof stamps. It resembles a Francotte action. Chopper lump, double under lug with hidden third bite.
 
I've watched hundreds of youtube videos of African hunts, and Vaughan Vosloo stands at the very top for quality. I'd consider having my second safari filmed; My first was so fantastic; Leopard, Eland, Impala, Gemsbok, Zebra and Damara Dik-dik. I googled and don't see a site for Vaughan, only his finished product; is there a forum or resource on videographers? Costs and things to consider? Thinking of a future trip for Buffalo, hopefully with PH Phillip Fourie again, most likely in the Caprivi. Thanks, Mike, Lacona, Iowa
 
Mike, PM me for his WhatsApp. He’s fantastic. Like having a second ph.

You might also want to consider Steven Cilliers. He’s from Namibia and from a family of PH’s. I believe he films for iGala. He’s VERY familiar with the Caprivi and the outfitters

I'd love to see more pictures of it.
I have an unnamed double rifle guild gun as well in .500 NE. With likely a Francotte action indeed.

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.
