Elite Hunting Outfitters

I have been well served with the Boyt single case. I use the WIDE single model. I remove one set of foam and place 2 rifles in Boyt soft cases facing in opposite directions to each other. 4 trips to Africa with no problems. Probably a fluke but on my first safari I arrived home with one end...

I would choose the 404 Jeffrey for the same reason I chose it for my first buffalo. Nostalgia. The 404 Jeffrey was the work horse of the game rangers. I know that Ruark made the 416 Rigby sexy but the Jeffrey has earned it stripes.

Go forth and buyeth 300 grain TSX loaded ammo or bullets for reloading forsaking all others, lay thee mind to rest and slay whatever beast thy encountereth.

I do not recall the Partition being all that aerodynamic, but if you are comfortable with the drop and drift out to 400 yards, it is certainly up to the task you describe. Unless you are using a high BC bullet the only thing the additional 20 grains adds in my opinion is additional recoil...

I would definitely go long. If you have qualifying status with Delta, spend your time in their lounge. Much better food than that on the plane and a long, hot shower prior to the ATL-JNB flight is invigorating. If not look into the credit card company lounges. No way do I try ATL in 44 minutes.

My 375 set up for Africa is Leupold QD base/rings and Swarovski Z8i. I am not a fan of big objectives or super high magnification. I have shot Springbok past 300 yards with this rifle and scope combo when my other rifle shot craps in the Karoo.

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

9.3x62.

"Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!"

I have used 404 Jeffrey with 400 grain TSX, 450-400 with Hornady bonded, and 416 Rigby with 400 grain TSX. Rigby has gotten it done the quickest. I plan to use 470 and 458 Lott for the next ones.

I bought mine because of the 2 sets of barrels. I have no complaints but I much prefer my vintage Jeffrey 450-400 and Manton 470. They just feel better in my hands.

I have a Chapuis 9.3x74 SxS with a set of 20 gauge barrels of similar vintage. My load is 58 gr IMR 4350 with 286 Swift A-Frame. Used it on giraffe last year.

Depending on which books you are reading, you may be reading about a time and place that no longer exists. No matter where you go you will never experience the Africa of Hemingway and Ruark. Rather your safari is a hunt, or a shoot depends on you and your PH. You will not be able to spot and...
