Fierce 375hh rifle just arrived for my dad for our buff trip next summer. I am looking for feedback on the scope mount, I didn’t pick it, I think it crowds the action too much. I also cycled a few rounds and the action is not that smooth, there is also a very clear shearing effect on the...

Just kicking around ideas on what is the ideal rifle caliber and scope setup for leopard hunting. Experienced leopard hunters please chime in.

I’m currently in the planning phase of a trip to South Africa for a buffalo hunt in 2025 with my outfitter from this past June in the Eastern Cape. As I research I keep running across terms and scenarios I’m not familiar with around buffalo hunting. What exactly is meant by disease free buffalo...

Just found out my brothers are pursuing dual citizenship USA and Italy, we qualify for the Italian side based on our lineage. Would this offer any advantages on travel, trophy exportation (assuming I ever own property in Italy).

My Dad and I got this hunt on the calendar almost two years ago, and we have been counting the days until we could return to the dark continent. We came in 2007 and had a great time in Limpopo, and finally life slowed down enough (and we adjusted our priorities enough) to make the journey again...

Headed to eastern cape soon, going through my last few items that need attention for this trip. I landed an iridium sat phone, has no service to it and is 4 updates out of date on its firmware, talked to satmodo and they asked me to overnight the phone and they’d send it back to me ready to go...

I’ve got two boxes of 375 HH mag Barnes TSX 300 grain factory loads and leave in a month for South Africa, I’ve either got to find a few more or bring a different round as I haven’t even zeroed with these yet. I’ve looked everywhere, open to suggestions.

Took the model 70 375 out for its first round off of the new primos trigger sticks, first shot a perfect bullseye at 100. Felt great, I hate to even try other ammo, I was planning on using 300 grains tsx for my pg safari this year but how bad could these cheap power shocks be? They sure seem...

When the Christmas decorations come out- I let my wife do her thing. She has to live with all the wild animals all year so if she has to doll these mounts up to help her cause for a couple of months, I have to go with the flow. Does anybody else have a spouse that incorporates their trophies...

Curious if anyone has commissioned custom leather cartridge belt or slides using their own game skin. My wife took a small alligator last year and I had them save the horned back to make a sling if possible as well. I saw in the website Murray does make custom orders like this- would love to see...

Hunting EC Karoo in June, how much of a jacket am I going to need on those long rides in the am? I remember being pretty cold in Limpopo in 2007 in the back of the truck, is a puffy the answer? Looking for suggestions- don’t own a puffy, seems like it would get shredded thanks

I’m considering adding on a rhino vita-dart hunt to my EC pg hunt next year if tags are available. Would love to hear what everyone’s thoughts are who have experienced it, pros and cons. Seems like good clean fun and a win/win for the animal. What am I missing?

Does it matter what airline you fly to Joberg from the us?I’ve always booked the cheapest option/best times offered. We will be checking our rifles and ammo.

Doing safari to EC soon and was wondering what the more experienced ah community feels is best when it comes to overnighting in joberg, safety being of upmost concern.

Just booked sable safari in the EC. Couldn’t be more excited, want to bring the new 375 model 70 to baptize it in African hunting. What would you say of the effective range of this rifle for use on plains game in the mountains?

Best bino for around $1,000 for all around hunting. All 10x42 1. Leica trinovid 2. Zeiss conquest 3. Leupold 4. Vortex razor leaning heavily toward the Leica. Wanted to get some input before I make the purchase and have not had the chance to look through them all yet.

So I’ve been sitting on this new gun for a while, debated scope options and had to postpone shooting it since I had a concussion when my order arrived. Decided on zeiss conquest 3-9x40 plaid musical scopes… Finally took it out today and man what a fun gun to shoot! The recoil did not bother me...

Any advice on best method to shorten length of pull for model 70 safari express? It’s a deal breaker, haven’t fired it yet but it feels massive and the specs all say it’s lop is 13 3/4… all my other rifles are 13 5/8

Just got my model 70, arrived two months ahead of schedule, I couldn’t be more pumped. Looking at scope choices, I am very partial to 3-9x40 as that’s what I’ve always hunted with and have whacked animals both near and far. This scope is only offered in the vx freedom line from Leupold, and...

I’ve read most of his works multiple times, but for the life of me I don’t remember or can’t find what brand/make of rifle he carried in 375 h&h magnum in his stories. Can anybody help? thanks
