    Purchases On AH References

    I just purchased a pack from @Scott CWO. Transaction couldn’t have gone any better. Communication was great and the pack arrived timely and well packaged. Not to mention it was a heck of a deal on a great pack. Do not hesitate to do business with Scott if given the opportunity.

    Preferred calibers for Rhino and Hippo?

    @Northern Shooter, we tracked mine, very similar to hunting buffalo. We got real close in some really thick thorn bushes. It wasn’t at night though. I’m like you though, I bet at night would be an adventure not soon forgoten.

    Preferred calibers for Rhino and Hippo?

    I shot my hippo on land with 400 grain, flat nosed Barnes solids out of a 404 Jeffery. Worked like a charm. Hunting hippo on land can be quite exciting. I don’t have any experience with rhino so I’m no help there.

    338 Win Mag Barrel

    Also wanted to mention that I do not have this listed elsewhere, only here in AH. If I am way off on my pricing, make me an offer via PM and we can discuss. I just based it on what I found at the Kreiger site. Thanks for looking.

    338 Win Mag Barrel

    @Wyfox, totally forgot that. Appreciate the reminder. This barrel was off of a Winchester M70 LH rifle that was in a McMillan stock. Let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks

    How far did you track your buffalo?

    We went about 2.5-3 miles on an island in the Kwando river in 2022. It was awesome. Only issue was there was no getting a bakkie to the buff, we were hunting out of a boat. Cut up and packed out like a western elk hunt. 2.5-3 mikes tracking in was a piece of cake. Toting buff parts 2.5-3 miles...

    One rifle for North American big game?

    @Beck, you don’t have to choose. Get both a 35 Whelen and a 9.3x62. Both are great cartridges and fun to shoot.

    Best way to get skins and skulls back from Namibia

    The taxidermy shop over there can recommend some shippers to you. You can check those out and decide which one you want to use. Then you can either do all the import work yourself or hire that out. I always hire that part of it out. There are several reputable ones. I typically use Coppersmiths...
