I hunted my Buffalo with Mpeti in September. Great experience, great people. We earned that Buff, burned a lot of boot leather in the process. Here is a link to my report, for anyone interested...

It certainly did it's job this time. It shredded up the lungs pretty good, no exit. This was at roughly 200 yards. The bullet was never recovered, it must still be in the gut pile. I initially bought a few boxes of these for the brass, but wonder now if I was looking a gift horse in the mouth.

I got lucky with this 8 point on day two of our rifle hunt here in Ontario. The bodies of these deer are big, lots of meat harvested. I used a BRNO ZXX 600 in 7x57, and Federal 140 gr Power Shok.

Congratulations on jumping on in there right away. I wish I had done so as well. I sent off an enquiry to Lipsey's asking them if there were any other Canadian importers of their products. Nothing back so far.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure this one out too. I called today, to the only dealer in Canada that has a chance of getting them in. I am on their wait list, # 32 to be exact. They are only going to be allocated 6 of the 9.3 version. 6. In the whole country.

Close - a Meopta MeoPro, 6x42mm with a German #4 reticle. I wanted to keep this rig as simple as possible with the fixed 6 power. It works well for me.

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, yes, it does shoot too! I took this Buck at 200 yards this morning with it!

Then there are those items that started off as inexpensive, and appreciated over time. I own this BRNO ZKK 600 chambeeed in 7x57 Mauer. When they were originally sold in the late 70's and early 80's, they could be had for a pittance. Now, they command a much higher price. They are miles ahead of...

I recently returned from my own Buffalo hunt with Mpeti Safaris as well, I think maybe a couple of weeks prior to blackdog001. I can echo his praise, it really was a fantastic experience. They all worked very hard for me to get my first Buff, and I couldn't be happier. You can check out my...

It's hard to beat being able to lie down and actually get some sleep. Another thing to consider is the long layover in London. This will be the same for any flight leaving North America, then going through Europe. At least in London they give you lounge access, Grab a shower, some food, a...

I just flew British Airways September 6 of this year. Toronto to London, London to Johannesburg. I made sure it was a BA plane flying each leg, and also followed their regulations closely. Registered a firearm at time of purchase, then again 72 hours before boarding. I picked up my buddy in...

Thank you. And yes, this Heym in .404 J really is something. I got lucky in acquiring it.

Mr. X made it painless, and I would recommend this service to anyone.
