    Malaria Medication Next Week in Limpopo - Take or Not

    Depends on where in Limpopo you are going to hunt? Most of Limpopo has no malaria risk. The areas that have Malaria risk are far North East of Limpopo adjacent to KNP. Further it is now winter in SA so mosquitos are less active now.

    Buying Large Kudu Horns

    Arten you are aware that the current record horns are 72”, with one Kudu named Mr Wow, being 75” and still growing. There may be one or two others, however doubt either those 2 are for sale.

    My first 416 finally!

    The OP never mentioned old style express sights... The majority of express sights, post probably 1900 can adjust fyi. No need to explain the advantages and need for 3 leaf express sight. Almost all gun manufacturers (Rigby, Heym, CZ etc. except maybe Ruger - maybe hence the reason for the...

    Shoulder vs Euro Mount

    There are the jokes about the policemen and pastor's sons. Well my dad has a Taxidermy business in SA and I personally prefer euro mounts, either on wooden plank or plain white skull on a wall (wall color should not be white though). Apart from animals without horns (female majority) zebra and...

    Commercial Mauser vs military Mauser

    Ontario I think your problem and the existing stocks problem is all the modifications. Probably the previous stock's owner also had different parts and the stock just did not work. They sold it before or even knowing the importance of the crossbolts. Unfortunately using different parts...

Having said that, for us South Africans, hunting a giraffe offers a great preparation hunt...

Six Dogs (we like the blue), Inverroche (any), Blind Tiger (we love both the rarely sighted and blue- there seems to be one or both always in our cabinet) Others you can have a look are A Mari Ocean...

    One cartridge to hunt dangerous game for the rest of your life and it can't be a 375, what are you going with?

    Jeez, love these questions and answers! It make you see that you either have what everyone is wishing for, which is great, or you don't and start dreaming of the next purchase! I would probably choose a 416 Rigby scoped. There is nothing here in Africa that a 416 R cannot handle. Scoped makes...
