'Used to ride 60,000 mi/yr, 40 yrs of on/off road riding, enduro racing, road racing, etc. but then I hit 4 deer at night (4 separate incidents-it's overpopulated where I live-i yelled and kicked the last 2 away in panic but went down hard on the 1st two, including one at highway speed) so I...

*Not Biden's Son! The one O' (daily, for years) Witch Hunt Infamy! Bidens are actually criminals.

"don't know what the n1 is N of joberg..." LOL Where in Africa have you been?? The population is quite low compared to other continents, so the other travelers are quite safe! lol Are you telling me you've never been to the NW or Limpopo or Louis Trichardt or Kruger??? This is a VERY weak...

*I've gotten rid of nearly ALL gas-powered equipment in the fleet over the last several years (as many burn 6 gal/hr)-that's about $20-24/hr under Bidenomics in rural areas. That's the only reason I'm not interested. :( (I'd be filling up gas equipment 1-2x daily whereas the diesels-1-2x...

Have your PH pick you up at the airport and go hunting. Why is thi$ $uch an i$$ue? ;) I'd NEVER stay over with my rifles in a city. Then again, i'd also never vote Dem. I once had a Zim PH pick me up at OR Tambo at 11 pm, we drove on the N1 for hours, hit this Brazilian steakhouse at 1 a.m...

i'd use more (.257 Case) on Elk. Wby, Wildcats (WSM-NOT WSSM, et. al.) with the bullets Red Leg mentions. It's a small pill-it needs Steam, solid construction (not necess. solid) and high SD for caliber!

Zim PH Lloyd Yeatman was completely screwed over by the guy, years back.

Or a barrel swivel (clamp-on, sweat on, etc.) NECG, Uncle Mike's, etc.

It's essentially a custom blueprinted Mauser action so anything that fits them! I got an estimate from them to install fancy iron sights with quarter rib etc $1,800. Ryan Breeding/Joe Smithson? It's been awhile. You could have the action drilled for anything you like. I personally would use...

And the bear are generally a closer range affair.

Not sure what he meant by a cut piece of leather on the lug but shoving a piece of leather in the lug recess of the stock is a cheap way to improve accuracy

I've made so much fun of the industry over the last 10 years I've just given up black plastic junk everywhere! I've picked up a number of fine guns in Cabela's gun libraries you can even look at them online and finer places as well... The real answer is they're peddling the lowest cost...

Is it sold? What's the LOP although that can be corrected easily with a smaller pad. If it's not sold I will buy it.

On non-DG bolt-action rifles, just neck size. NEVER have I gotten one stuck in the gun it was intended for use in. Because the case fits that particular chamber PERFECTLY and it contributes to maximum consistency (accuracy) for longer range shots. Other actions and any DG gun should be FL...

275 Winchester Ave. Not coincidence!

'Hoping that the scope rings are just sitting there posing for the photo, or otherwise they are severely out of alignment! lol Nice piece. Also strangely no comments on the bore conditions.

What's the gun?

Any powder is low-recoil if undercharged. Add some heft to your gun. Hg recoil reducers, etc. Steel parts (NO aluminum,) sling w/ 4 rounds in it, quality scope, talley/warne/alaska steel mounts, et. al. It's a 375, not a 500. My 375 weighed 13.5 lbs fully outfitted, my Son's is like 11...

That's a tad light for a 375. Factory American? Black recycled ABS plastic drain pipe stock?

black magic indeed lol

It's an early Fordson. Many sold worldwide (par for the course for Henry Ford-he mass produced ans sold the most tractors initially.) My neighbor has 3. I want to buy 2 as an unconventional sort of columns for a gate at the head of the driveway! :)

'Check ALL your staff's phones while they're sleeping... ;) Give the culprit a donkey!

Africahunting.com would the PHASA consider some own use hunts on these ilk? ;) Asking for some friends! Pics w/ trophies and head home. No caliber restrictions. Absolutely NO darting. I'd be proud to hang a recreation in my trophy room! Real black magic psychic may lord kassappa 2024...

Increase the gun heft and shoot regular loads you intend to hunt with, pleasurably. The 375 doesn't kick too much unless severely underweight. Mine were a pleasure compared to bigger stuff...(gun weight? recoil pad style/butt size? pics?)

Fred also bagged an elephant (smaller alum. shaft shoved inside larger + the 2 blade only 140 fixed razorhead and a 100# recurve). but yeah an 850 gr archery projectile is optimum for DG. And to make it even cooler, in the fmr. British East Africa (Mozambique) with famed ivory hunter turned PH...

The result of Bidenomics in America! ;) You get what you voted for. High prices for everything results in an uptick in crime.

Buffalo: 2 blade 160 gr, 750 gr shaft. Also spin those inserts vertically. Nothing less/nothing more. My son has hunted the bigger stuff extensively and this is what works (not what some marketer tells you.) GL enjoy! Crossguns and too lightweight shafts/bows result in too little energy...

3-blades are among the best (not recommended on DG as the penetration is reduced,) but NAP's thunderheads and many more work wonders on deer-elk-bear (soft stuff.) African antelope are built much tougher to reduce the effects of predator attacks. There was a great 3-blade in the 80s-90s that...

You could get away with anything for the tiny 10. But beware, this year the broadheads marketed have totally changed so you CANNOT possibly use what they told you was effective last year. You MUST buy what they say. ;) LOL (I both saw it on TV and read it on the Internet!) For the bigger...

LOL Don't shoot the messenger. I'm with Charlie...

In case your gun fails (or is dropped) at a bad time, in case you find yourself wrapped up by a python, if you're about to be mugged, etc. And, the Skinners LOVE 'em...

i often respond. I'm still at work (FBI). <,followed by an apology or silence>

all kidding aside, i see 4 more posted already. SMH. It's going to get universally worse.

The money detergent doesn't seem to work either!

You're onto something. Fully custom rigs never quite sell for the initial price (some are amazing and capitalize,) but the factory rig, hot-rodded isn't worth all that much (only to the beholder that recognizes its accuracy.) ;) Custom has a relatively high sticker price from the get go.

Kevin Robertson talks about what mods a 550 S requires in Africa's Most Dangerous, if I recall the book correctly.

IDT buying a custom rifle is cheaper than DIY, by a longshot! Fully custom bolt rigs are easily in the $5K-$10K+ range now (even $4K+ for used). You may be thinking about semi-custom factory guns like Wby (excellent), Christiansen, et. al. ($2K+/-). CZ is considered the lower echelon of...

*the A-Sq is actually coated SS (i had forgotten) and the entire bbl channel of the stock is FL bedded with (plastic) spot putty, so it's exceedingly weatherproof. No checkering, monster "coil chek" stock but it's a beauty (and tied with 2 others for best accuracy! #1 if factory rig.) I'd...

So I bought the bank note dye washing compound marketed here on AH and by golly it works wonders...just sitting at home this Holiday washing my money. Thanks again! lol (They need to cast their marketing net much wider, as bank robbers must know about this available chemical.) "Unmarked...

'Very first rifle was a .22 WMR (Mossberg 640KD "Chuckster" model.) Cost $90 plus Weaver mounts/rings and Bushnell 3-9x (total around $150.) Bought it out of the proceeds of plowing snow w/ a '65 JD 110 garden tractor at age 10. Still have both. That damn .22 Win Mag is my most favorite...

There are modern stock duplicators out there, so IF you have the shape you like, they trace it via wood CNC machine and then it can be checkered (by hand or machine.) MUCH cheaper than a fully hand-made custom wood stock (which almost doe$n't make sense on a CZ.) They used to trace stocks...

My favorites (and all they had when I was a kid-what most of us grew up shooting with!) However, I treat them with respect in the N. U.S. as the climate during hunting season can be brutal (and as the "camp cook," I need every millisecond to get things arranged upon return after dark-no time...

A fellow was selling another 470 C on here just recently (2nd of the recent Win 70 Customs)...You may wish to reach out to the buyer (or seller if not yet sold to make would-be buyers aware of supplies!) GL. Whatever you do, Goin' Postal is always an option, and I suspect you just might!

A lion head might look nice on it (or the skin draped over it?) I can just see the Massai singing surf songs when they saw it!! :p

I saw so many there the tribal game scout told the PH that I could come back for a sort of zebra varmint hunt on the cheap I still think about it would be a lot of fun using all sorts of rifles! And as you know the tribes love eating zebra. There is no shortage at all.

A few years back, I posted my Son's article from AHG and it was taken down. Read the article, have hunted elephant/hippo/buff in the Caprivi, all very good. Did you happen to see any Zebra?? lol

Chicago LOL. Barry Soetero community disorganizer probably gets a cut!

Used to be that going through the middleman was cheaper but nowadays generally speaking it's best to deal directly with the airline

Public range w/ factory guns and low quality, mass-produced ammo (poss substandard optics, shooting form too) OR private range w/ accurized or fully-custom rigs using pet handloads? Nearly all rifles here (including 375 & 416) can do it under the best conditions (even accurized/handloaded...

Yes. When someone buys it I will definitely provide the cookbook.
