Likely nothing to us now. Agree that is a slope that gets steeper everyday. This administration sure is against the everyday person and the countries we called friends. I have never in my life seen such a train wreck.

I would agree with Green Chile, I am a Swarovski guy. Either 1-6 or 1-8 illuminated.

They don’t get much better! Congratulations

Lots of great resources here. On a tight budget I would also look up Wayne at Nyamazana for both your cat and elephant.

Fantastic little write up. Fantastic Roe. I need to do that. Always enjoy your hunts. My first trip to Europe as a teen we visited Spain and the Alhambra and it will always stay in that vivid memory. After over 60 countries on my travels that trip provided a boast to my wanderlust which...

I am sure it will not be your last African adventure. Congratulations

Maybe this has been answered? But what is actually the difference in cost not price to mass build (say Winchester) CRF vs push feed. I get all the markups that roll through to retail but does it really cost that much more?

Great hunt! Congratulations, can’t wait for your pictures. Ed

These were my sons and I, NW Province SA 2022

Glad you are enjoying your new property. It’s always enjoyable exploring new places. Congratulations

A terrific rifle and story behind it. Very I would call it lovely rifle.

Someone is going to get a very nice rifle. Mine is a good MOA rifle with different factory rounds

Best for our Florida mosquitoes and deer flies is Shannon Bug Tamer. It’s a thin netted jacket or pants with a thick like fish net behind which keeps the mosquito net far away from your skin. I wear tee shirt and shorts under and hunting in September Florida heat stay relatively comfortable. I...

Love all 6 of mine. Can’t say a bad thing. A converted to 404, a 375, 300 HH pre 64, 7X57, Extreme Weather 270 WSM and 06. All control feed, various manufacturing places. No issues, all shoot well, and love to hunt.

I have $3,200 in my 404 done by Dennis Olsen a few years ago. Includes the donor rifle, metal work and stocking. It shoots wonderful but might not gain value but I doubt it will lose value.

I ended up buying a Winchester Super Grade, one of the Cabelas builds in 2013. First day at the range went well. I shoot factory. All loads from 140-158 Hendershots loads are MOA or very close. Plan on it being my number one for deer and hogs. Maybe Africa since it is a classic. Somewhat rounds...

Thanks for the report. Never thought of a Muskox hunt but you have wetted my appetite. Congratulations and thanks for taking me along!

What a fantastic hunt with Wayne. Congrats all around.

Waiting!

Wonderful scope, have it on my 375HH, totally recommend

Nice report, glad you overcame the issues and made a very memorable hunt!

Super glad you posted the video since I had previously missed your report. What a great write up and a fantastic adventure! Thanks for taking me along.

Great looking Buffalo and good report. Congratulations and Thank you

Many reasons but my belief as others have said is corruption. Many examples throughout history of the world as examples. You cannot become a “real” country without ridding corruption.

Got mine at Safari Outdoors Johannesburg, they have a big box of very inexpensive leather zip ups

For me aisle,I still do long haul flights almost monthly and don’t really sleep anymore. I doze a couple of hours, get up walk around, read a lot and a movie or two. Delta premium select work perfectly for me but need aisle.

I will second, call Hendershots

Very nice, good job

Wow, what a tremendous hunt. Glad you had a cameraman filming the elephant situation. Thanks for the report.

Great hunt, super report. Thank you for posting it.

Loved my Ford Expeditions. Then moved into a few Chevy pickups. My sons all have Ford pickups give me grief but to be honest I love the Chevy step in the bumper corners. I never realized how many times I get into the bed and I really don’t want a fold out step. So come spring a new Chevy again.

I’ll enjoy the game but would rather see some new teams. Kind of tired of both teams. Feels like the Patriots. Sorry but a Bronco and Buffalo fan

Thanks @Hunter4752001, I would guess that a good gunsmith could open extractor .002. The 30-06 length is 3.340-2.940 and the 7x57 is 3.203 this was my reasoning that this conversion might work. Certainly seems easier than my .375HH to 404Jeffery which works flawlessly. I will discuss with a...

Thanks for your inputs. Yes likely the best approach is just to buy one. I really didn’t want a push feed and Winchester made only a few of the control feed. They made a run for Cabelas and the Shot show in claw as a number of folks on here have them but they are like hens teeth. I missed out on...

I should say I am looking at newer Winchester super grades to convert to 7x57

I don’t have a rifle to convert so looking for a doner that would be easiest calibers to convert.

Good deal should go quickly

Medium Warne should fit fine that’s what I use.

Can someone help me on what’s needed to convert a 30-06 to a 7X57? Is there a better caliber to convert than the 30-06 Thanks Ed

I am plus on Warne, I have Swarovski on most of my rifles. Be careful on low mounts, Swarovski have a large eyepiece that can get in the way with low mounts. Enjoy

Great site, great people and resources though everyone is an enabler. Never thought I would own the rifles I have purchased in the past 6-7 years. Every rifle caliber was encouraged here. Getting me back to Africa and hopefully many more.I also say hats off to the moderators! Though things can...

I always love how TSA does their gunpowder swipe on the case. Just wonder how often they get a positive. Never happened to me but I have said to them it is a gun and gunpowder is involved.

Always enjoy meeting fellow AH members. Nice time, nice evening. Thank you Nathan for organizing

Best wishes and prayers for your recovery. Beautiful rifle, Dennis built my 404 and I love it. GLWS

Dixie Gunworks used to sell 10 gauge double kits similar. They are a wealth of parts and kits for black powder guns

@HankBuck, no problem what so ever! Whether it’s Elon Musk, Apple or whatever there always seems to be dislike. There are many reasons that we dislike famous or wealthy people but my belief is that we are envious of their success. Not that I am a fan of Boddington, it’s just this seems to be a...

@HankBuck, sorry you think that.

Mankind seems to always knock someone that’s successful: - Comparison is the thief of joy TD Roosevelt - Envy rots our bones (Proverbs 14:30) - Envy causes disorder and every vile practice (James 3:16) - Envy defiles a person (Mark 7:20-23)
