ZIMBABWE: Upwind Of Dinosaurs. Hunting Bull Elephant In Mateke Hills

Outstanding adventure! Not sure how I missed it the first time around. I have become a solid believer in that R8 thing.
 
Like I’ve been telling you for years buddy, you can’t have them all! lol

Thanks! Yes sir. Those R8’s definitely carry their weight. Such a compact, accurate, reliable package. I was thinking about what you’d probably say about me using the iron sights and 458 Win Mag. In that I should have had the 375 barrel bolted on and a good scope. May have eliminated all the fuss!

By 72 the whole open sights thing is much worse.
 
Late to the party, but thanks for sharing.

Great write up and Congrats on that Bull!
 
Congrats on a great bull.

You should at least put a Red Dot on that barrel, old eyes and iron sights don't mix.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .

I have quite a bit of 458 win mag brass, most of it new. How much are you looking for?
