Travelling home, sitting at home, sitting at work…it’s a bit of an obsession now! I have to thank you for encouraging me to go with the 400 H&H. I love this calibre. Both PH were very happy to see a 40 cal as they prefer it to the 375. It’s everything that made the 450/400 great, and more. This...

That’s the spirit! That’s a great idea.

Your 450 started life as a 12ga?

A bit of an impulse - in order to nudge my way towards a double rifle, I decided to pick up a shotgun with double triggers. My plan is to have my gunsmith set the chokes up for skeet and grouse (skeet & IC) and use this to train myself to shoot a double. I think of it as a gateway drug.

Whew! I am glad you corrected me before I made my case to my wife that it’s a real deal now.

congratulations! An excellent choice with a cartridge that screams Africa.

Thank you! A lifetime supply of ammo?!?! Almost makes up the difference in the price now! I LOVE that you were able to look you the shotguns that your family still uses. That is really very special.

I have two reasons for wanting to hunt with my own guns. The first is familiarity. But, perhaps the more important aspect, is the romantic idea of my rifles being passed down, the stock embossed with a patina created in the fields, along with the stories of grandpa hunting in various places. I...

Thanks, that gives me a good idea what to expect. I say I am ok with a non-exportable buffalo until I see him! Although, 20k isn’t out of the ballpark, but that’s two hunts for non-exportable! That’s seriously worth considering.

Thank you From videos I have seen, my impression is that one hunts herds more often than just lone in a place like Moz than in some other countries. Is that accurate?

That’s a shame. I hope your next hunt is much better

Good luck! And I will watch for your report.

My daughter went to Zambia for her honeymoon and loved it. Zambia did enter my mind, but I thought it would be a more costly proposition. Thank you for this info. I don’t have any particular plains game animals in mind except for a Barbary sheep and bushbuck. My wife is losing her patience...

Thank you. I will find that vid.

Wow! That took an unexpected turn! What a great adventure.
