Wonderfull scopes, i have one, and would not hesitate to have 90% of my rifles have a Zeiss or Swarovski Habicht 3-9x36 for hunting

I love my Ruger SBH. When the freezer is full I glo play with my six shooter and 340gr hard casts. They are devastating on plainsgame and ruin almost no meat. Same with Hornady 240gr XTP. I think it was Elmar Keith who said: “you eat right up to the bullet hole…” My only frustration is I do...

Your aswer lies on the flats of the barrels

Very cool. Well done

Every year we run a free PSA blood test drive in the practice for the month. Two years ago I had to get a new drivers license in November, so ended up still having a seriously dodgy photo on my drivers. Anyhow, got this pig the other night. Poor thing had a cable noose snare around his face.

Congratulations. They are wonderful dogs. My Cocker Spaniel bitch is 8 months old now. Her parents are both working dogs and she has been a joy to train so far.

Beautiful rifles. Well done!

I think it has too much drop at the heel and comb. It will likely be balanced somewhat weight forward as well. It will be OK to shoot with open sights, but not practical with a scope. If you want to keep it at a budget an original Brno ZKK602 straight stock is perfect. Otherwise a replacement...

That stock is aftermarket. I would replace it. But you did well on the barreled action. Also, those fullstock Sakos kick like a mule in .375 and up, and they often have accuracy issues when the barrel warms up. You picked the right one between those two.

I would think for Sable you want to be in far East, so Kazuma, Ngamo and the area around Vic falls and Hwange

To take a quick break from the US election victory laps on this thread. I just saw a video on Facebook that building is under way at Camp Buffalo turning the area into a campsite, and restoring the cemetery. This is being done by private contractors and it will hopefully be open to the public...

Congratulations on a beautiful Gemsbuck bull. As others have said, he is a big, old bull, with very good horns, and he seems to have been in excellent condition as well. I would guess 41” or 42”. As far as distribution goes, Gemsbuck occur naturally in the majority of South Africa, barring the...

On the topic of misspelled names. Bruno instead of Brno. You get to hunt Africa dressed like this and post a picture of it here.

Hi @TN_Farmer, Not unlike you, I also started my career as an emergency medicine physician, then started dabbling with a few other things. Currently I still do calls in our local EMU in Northern KZN, but practice as a family physician with a travel medicine practice. That is when I’m not...

Not to interfere with a fellow doc’s excellent and informative thread, but I can share with you the protocol we use. Category 1 exposure is contact with an infected animal, saliva exposure to in tact skin. This carries minimum risk for transmission and is regarded by some as not an exposure...
