@Sourdough Beautiful rifle, anxiously awaiting your hunting report. Feel free to PM me, when will you be in the Valley hunting with Buzz? Wondering if our time in Zim will overlap.

I agree 100%. The OP made a passing comment saying his Mozambique hunt was a great hunt but essentially left a little more to be desired by him and he’s looking for something different this go around. Until @Rare Breed jumped in, and invited the outfitter to weigh in, no one would have given the...

404 Jeffery, I almost did this same build myself. I’ve also thought about doing a 318WR build on an old Pre64 Action

I’m sorry to hear, thoughts are with y’all.

He admits it was a good hunt but obviously he was left disappointed by something(s), and it wasn’t because of the trophy quality on what he did shoot. What makes a good hunt for him is probably different than what you look for. You can’t make everyone happy. Personally I’d rather he be open and...

Maybe I missed the hunt report, but rather curious how this wild lion hunt played out @Rockwall205

Beautiful pairing. You really need a Rigby in a lighter caliber like a 275 now. I know where there’s a Paul Roberts produced 270 from the 80’s that the owner could likely be talked out of.

GLWS … keep selling these beautiful rifles and you’ll have a hunt in Botswana for a big bull paid for in no time

How old were some of the current PH’s when they killed their first DG animal? Many were 8-15 years old protecting the farm or joining their dad on a hunt. Women ruin all the fun ….

That’s one thing I wish my dad did when I was younger for me hunting wise. He didn’t have the income or desire to hunt anywhere other than the 20 acres of family land, or occasional piece of state land. The only “hunting trips” I can remember were a long weekend with friends driving to Maine...

It’s only money and this would be the ultimate pairing for you upcoming leopard hunt ….

I like your Pre64 M70 suggestion however it’s HIGHLY unlikely the OP finds a Pre64 M70 in 7x57 (7m/m would be what’s engraved on the barrel) within his $3500 budget. Beat-up ones bring $5k, a middle of the road or restored example is $6-7k, and a really nice collector piece is going $8-10k...

Great combo for Africa at a very reasonable price given the CCH upgrades and factory case. Saw one that was hunted, without CCH sell this summer for a similar price.

Yes I did see those photos. I’ve also taken multiple bulls over 40” including one from an area in Zim not known for wide bulls. The photo I posted (not mine) is a bull from Tanzania and was the 2nd bull the hunter took that trip. His first was significantly wider than 40”. My point was that as...

Very feasible and many PH’s can help coordinate. Below are two examples 2024 I took my mom (non Hunter), dad (Hunter), and girlfriend (non Hunter) to @MATTANJA HUNTING SAFARIS after my mom retired. My mom understands hunting but doesn’t want to be around the shooting or even the animal after...
