Warmest welcome. You'll fit right in. What rifles and shotguns do you prefer to use ? Kudu, Impala & Warthog are very thrilling quarry.

For leopard over bait, I’d highly recommend Clint Taylor at Game Trackers Africa. Location- Tanzania John Sharp in Zimbabwe is also excellent & a true gentleman. For leopard over hounds, I’d highly recommend Jeff Rann. Location-Botswana

Either will be fine. The pre War ones have a magazine capacity of 4+1. The new ones have a magazine capacity of 3+1. The pre ‘64 ones had stronger magazine springs and extractor. The newer ones have better gas venting.

You saw the B.S.A Royal, Ontario Hunter. Similar to Mauser Model 98 actions but with a two piece striker (like a Springfield Model 1903A3).

Only the Majestic line had the muzzle brakes.

If only you knew Hunter-Habib a few years earlier... Ah, well. All is not lost. I have visited and hunted in Australia quite a few times over the years ever since 1975. In 1975, you could find many excellent B.S.A Majestic rifles on the secondhand racks of most Australian gun shops. When I last...

Not all push feed rifles are created equally. When I first began big game hunting in the early 1970s (with my first African safari being to Kenya in 1974), push feed rifles were everywhere and only two CRF rifles were being produced at the time (the Czech BRNO ZKK series and the Serbian...

The 7mms are a sweet class of caliber. I personally use a 7x57mm Mauser and have had immense success with mine over the years. Now, taking the immensely high velocities of the 7mm PRC into account, it would be quite counter productive to use cup & core style bullets in this caliber. Bullet...

She's a steal ! 450Gr Barnes TSX factory loads gets my vote for everything except elephant and the great cats.

You’re a true inspiration. My father turns 93 years old this year and is still extremely passionate about hunting jack snipe in the local rice paddy fields.

I apologize, @375Ruger416 . I share the exact same sentiments as you. Most of us come to these forums as a means of recreation to take our stress away from the shackles of daily responsibilities. And to share our mutual love for hunting, firearms & Africa. Not to fight with other members.

Not a sporting firearm, but I EDC (Every Day Carry) a Webley & Scott Model 1921 in .32 ACP ever since the Indo-Pak war of 1971. Officers were allowed to purchase their own sidearms during the war from the firearms depository in Gilatola military cantonment. It still shoots sharp & straight.

Absolutely, I uploaded a few on these forums before. They are in my ipad and please send me a reminder on my message box tomorrow after 6 PM.
