Sorry, all sold

Congrats on some really nice trophies for the two of you, thanks for sharing

@gearguywb congratulations on getting it sold, sorry about derailing your thread a bit but glad it all works out in the end for Rare Breed

Congratulations, that is a beautiful rifle and a good buy. Now let’s hear some stories of game taken! As a side note, sorry I kind of derailed the thread with the scammer story from GB on a similar rifle but without the extra nice wood. The scam photos on GB I found posted also on Guns Intl and...

Beautiful rifle, I just bought a M70 featherweight in 7x57 this afternoon off of GI from a Cabelas in Omaha. GLWS

Welcome to the group

The story I reported yesterday about the Gunbroker post I saw that they removed after my questioning it was obviously a scam. Today I found the same gun on GI with the same pics posted by a Cabelas store selling the rifle

I’ll try to leave one for you! My buddy going with me hunted with NKWE last year as well. He said he saw numerous 57-58” kudu so those guys ought to be approaching 60” or better this year hopefully

Congrats hope you have a great trip and get the trophies you desire who will you be hunting with? I will be in Botswana and then RSA while you are there

Agree with the others, I’m a pharmacist by training and doxycycline is the only thing that works for tick fever. Sounds like you’ve had that treatment and then some. Get to an ID specialist with a background in Tropical disease. UTSW should have someone

I was watching a M70 featherweight in 7x57 this week on GB that had no reserve, pics looked great and bid was at $700. Auction was supposed to end today around noon. I sent the owner a question on Monday and got no answer. The seller had just joined GB and had no reviews so I was very leery of...

I bought some Rudolph’s after using them in the Eastern Cape in 2022. I really like mine but I’m guessing all of the quad sticks are pretty similar

Good luck on your hunt, look forward to a trip report!

I would budget $4000 at a minimum for D&P, shipping and customs clearance. May be closer to $4500-5000

Welcome, based on your wish list I would recommend looking at outfitters in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, they would have all of the species you mentioned. Limpopo would be another option. Several good outfitters on here as sponsors. A few to start looking at would be KMG, Game 4 Africa...

@Rare Breed, please buy this rifle. I’ve been itching to buy it for three weeks now and really don’t need another right now. You will save me the temptation!

Welcome

Welcome

Mac13, what do you consider a reasonable price for a Mod 70 Safari Express? My local gun store has a used one New Haven built CRF right now in 96% new condition for $1899 which is essentially what you would pay for a new one. I will send you my phone number on a PM

Well I see that NKWE has posted the full photo now as well

@Mac13 attaching a picture (with hunter cut out) that I got this morning from NKWE, They took this 63" kudu yesterday. You will likely see 25+ kudu bulls daily that will go into the mid 50" range or a little bigger, but the key is you have to let the 55-57" bulls walk if you want to get the 60"+!

Thanks for sharing your experience and a really nice roe buck. I’ve got two Spain hunts booked for 2025. Will be doing a roe buck hunt in April with Francisco Rosich and then a Pyrenean chamois hunt with Bruno Rosich in October, really excited for both hunts. My wife will be joining me for both...

Looks to me like a clueless journalist with a poor editor

Welcome, you will find plenty of knowledge and answers to your questions here. Tell us a little about any of the hunting you do in Italy.

You don’t have to sign anything for the rifle in pre-customs area. Go thru customs, gather your luggage at baggage (all except rifle case) and proceed out to arrivals hall. Your PH or someone from the clearing service you used should be waiting there for you and you will then go to the SAPS...

@Mac13 when do you arrive at NKWE? I will be there from May 26th to June 4th

Have never hunted with Bayly-Sippel but have considered them as I see their sponsor posts here on AH. I saw a statement they put out this morning on Instagram. Statement indicated that he was following up on a buffalo shot by client the previous evening when it charged him from close range. He...

Welcome to the forum, jump right in with questions or comments, folks here have lots to share

Yes, I've done 2 hunts with Motsomi, great people and you will really enjoy yourself hunting with them. If I can answer any questions for you don't hesitate to reach out to me via PM and we can get on the phone together if needed.

Welcome from another Montanan. Hope you have a great trip with the family in June and can share a report with us all after you return home

Beautiful tribute to your dad, very sorry for your loss. I lost my dad almost exactly 20 years ago and I think about him so often and wish I could share a deer stand with him once again. Thanks for sharing

Oh and congratulations, you will officially now have the Africa bug

Heck of a first animal, tell us the story and share some pics

Search NKWE in deals and offers and you will the info on their Elephant hunt offer I mentioned above

I’m doing a plains game hunt with NKWE in Botswana in a month but recently saw a note from them they now have hunting access to a new concession in Botswana specifically for Ele. Bulls are importable and you should be looking at bulls over 50lbs + and they were charging either $60K or $65K

Congratulations on a fantastic hunt experience that I’m sure you will relive in your mind on a daily basis!

The hard Gouda cheeses from Amsterdam are very good

Congratulations on some nice trophies, beautiful waterbuck

Headed to Botswana via Johannesburg on May 23rd flying Qatar via Dallas. Only a little over 30 days away and getting really excited. Hunting with NKWE with eland and kudu the main targets this trip

Nice stags, enjoyed your report and look forward to hearing how the buffalo hunt unfolds

I hunted red stag and Russian boar in March 2023, had my shipment arrive in Montana by first week of October. Hunted with Algar Safaris. Shipment came from BA to Seattle via American Airlines. I have a hunt report on AH with all of the shipping details

I have a .308 featherweight and a .375 Safari Express that was made in New Haven in early 2000’s. My 375 shoots 1” MOA groups with both 300 gr TSX and 300 gr A Frames Shedhorn Sports in Ennis MT has a used one on the shelf right now, can look it up on their website

Welcome, glad to see more Montana members. I’m in the Ennis area if you are ever over this way

Botswana for sure is the best place to look for a free range kudu going 60” of more. I’m hunting with NKWE at the end of May, they take several over 60” every year and trophy fees are $1700 currently for kudu. Search NKWE on the forum and you will see pics of 60”+ kudu. Tholo or Bokomoso are two...

Hey Rick, this Pat Toalson down in Ennis. I filled out my 4457’s in late Feb or early March for my June trip and did them on the computer typing in the info and printed off to take to the Bozeman Airport customs office. When I got there the agent didn’t like the fact that mine didn’t cover the...

Welcome, the Eastern Cape is a beautiful area of RSA
