I'm not sure what area of Zambia you will be in but in 2021 I hunted Chifunda GMA and my cell phone had good service about all the time.I have T mobile and the rates were 25 cents a minute.
I recently traded for a shotgun that I would like to find more information on like date of manufacture and anything else that someone can tell me.It is a Gastinne Renette 10 gauge hammer gun and seem of very high quality.Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I don't wear them often and never to hunt in but my favorite most comfortable boot has been Justin ostrich ropers.I've had Tony Lama calf skin and Dan Post calf skin but just like the Justins better.Perfect fit and no break in.
30-06 has the best assortment of rifles and ammunition by far.It's a boring cartridge as it is so common but there is a reason for that....it is that good.
I've used nothing but Merrill Moabs and tag gaiters for several years.They are just really comfortable and fit me perfect.I'm sure there are other great boots I could use but if it's not broke don't fix it.
I use a 1x6 Leupold and leave it on 1x until I'm on the sticks and If there is enough distance and time crank it up to 6x although 1x is really enough for any realistic range on buffalo.
I celebrated my 45 birthday in Zimbabwe on my first safari and was 58 on my second trip to Zim in 2019 and my last safari in Zambia I was 60 and hope to return soon as I have an elephant waiting on me.
I believe these had Oberndorf actions and the 44580 serial number is the Oberndorf Mauser serial number.I have one simular but is in 8x57 and the serial 1121 number dates it to 1899 as it is a transitional intermediate small ring action.
The previous owner sent me this today and said there was more information if he can find it in his Dad and brothers records as they kept very detailed records on their guns.
A good gunsmith can install internal cross bolts if you feel the need external cross bolts look great properly installed.I like quarter ribs properly done but as said above it doesn't carry quite as well in hand.
So far for me it has been buffalo but I see elephant and leopard in the near future so that may change. For non dangerous game hyena would be my favorite.
This is another one I picked up recently and really don't need so I thought I would offer it here before it just gets buried in the safe.It is a very nice rifle with very good bores and per the previous owner shot very well.It has 23 5/8" barrels and 14 7/16" LOP to front trigger.It was retailed...
Dale was a good friend of mine and sadly passed away a few years ago and I just acquired it from his brother who is also a good friend.The only other proof mark I can find without removing it from the stock is in this pic there is also some kind of mark on the top of the front receiver ring...
I'm not sure of the proper name of the maker that's why I just posted a pic of it.I haven't done a search on the maker yet and was hoping someone here was familiar with him.
I picked this up last week to help a friend out so he could get a roof put on his garage and I really have no use for it.I thought I would post it on here to see if anyone had any interest.The makers name is on the pic of the rib.It has a 24" octagon to round full ribbed barrel and the LOP is 14...
