Morning fellow members, I'm looking to the collective knowledge of the seasoned double rifle marksmen. How do you manage the recoil on the trigger hand, especially on your middle finger caused by the trigger guard? The rifle in question is a Heym 89B in 470NE. Due to the size of the trigger...

I picked up my Heym 89B in 470NE yesterday and thought I’d share a few pics…

Good day AH members, Have any of you had issues with a Z6i not holding zero? The specific model is the 1,7-10x42 on a CZ550 in 375 H&H. After 3 groups of 5 shots, the point of impact moves up by 4cm and 1cm right. I have tried Alaska Arms rings and weren't happy with them, I then switched to...

Morning AH Members, Did anyone here have the opportunity to spend the Glorious Twelfth in a grouse butt? I have only hunted red grouse once (during 2019) and it was a walked up shoot. I have to say that it was one of the best experiences in my life, just thinking of it still puts a smile on my...

Dear AH Members, There are very knowledgeable members as part of this community and I personally learn much from reading the Good Gun Deals thread. Are there any common pitfalls to look out for in specifically buying a used B25?

Morning Everyone, Does anyone perhaps have the reloading data from Hornady regarding the 300gr DGX Bonded and 300gr DGS in 375H&H which you are willing to share? I'm interested in their COL as well as the difference in charge between the DGX and DGS. From QL it looks like a similar charge...

Hi Everyone, As per the heading, what is the 'going rate' on a 15ft croc in SA?

Hallo AH members, I have recently purchased this book to read on some flights. Firstly, I have to admit that I really struggled with it - this might be in contrast to some other members. However, being from Africa, I'm not interest in how he navigated the relations with natives, but rather in...

Dear AH Members, I pulled the trigger on a .375H&H, while I'm waiting for the licence, I'm trying to decide which scope to put on it. I personally like the European manufacturers and at this stage its split between the S&B Klassic 3-12x42 L7 and the Swarovski Z5i 3.5-18x44 P. The price is...

Hi Everyone, A bit of a weird thread... I was privileged to hunt a buff bull on 1 Sep and after reading some of the threads asked to keep the nut sack. I'll have a euro mount made of the horns. If you have done the same, what have you done with the nut sack? I would appreciate any responses and...

Hi Everyone, I think I might have seen some pictures on the forum about this, however the closest I got was finding a thread about a 458 Lott eating into Warne rings/bases. I have a 404 Jeff with EAW swing mounts and a S&B 1.1-4 Zenith scope. The scope is slipping in the front ring and causing...

Good day Everyone, My name is Wynand, I live in Cape Town South Africa. I’m a passionate hunter and wingshooter and have recently acquired my first big bore, an African classic... 404Jeff. First on my list is an old dagga boy and then hopefully a lioness. I’ve done a lot of reading on the...
