    1970's Chapuis Double Express in 9.3x74R

    I bought mine because of the 2 sets of barrels. I have no complaints but I much prefer my vintage Jeffrey 450-400 and Manton 470. They just feel better in my hands.

    MY biggest questions

    Depending on which books you are reading, you may be reading about a time and place that no longer exists. No matter where you go you will never experience the Africa of Hemingway and Ruark. Rather your safari is a hunt, or a shoot depends on you and your PH. You will not be able to spot and...

    So.......what COMPANIES do you dislike?

    The list is long and distinguished but the one I despise above all others is Elliot Management. That is the Paul Singer hedge fund that forced the sale of Cabela’s to bASS pro.

    Cartridges you just hate

    Not a fan of the 6.5 Man Bun/Creedmoor. Never could stomach the recoil from 416 Remington either. I love 6.5x55 and 416 Rigby. What can I say.

    Preferred bullets for RSA Plains Game

    I have never shot a Hartebeest but I have killed everything on your list with Barnes TSX. Jackal and Springbok to Cape Buffalo, I have used TSX with complete satisfaction.

    Thinking of complimenting my collection with a 7mm remington magnum..

    My 7mm Remington magnum in a 700 classic has served me well since 1983. I currently use the Barnes 160 TSX. In the past I also used 140 Nosler bullets. This rifle now gets less use as I am a unrepentant rifle addict but it has killed more game than any other I own.

    How far are you comfortable shooting a …..?

    Longest shot I have taken with 9.3x62 was Jackal at 250 yards. DRT. Longest with 375 H&H was Cape Kudu 275 yards. DRT. Longest with 416 Rigby Cape Buffalo 50 Yards. Fastest kill I have seen on a Buffalo. I would be comfortable to 300 with all with a good rest off sticks. I prefer powder burn close.

    Premium bullets needed for PG?

    As I have expressed before, I am a firm believer in Barnes bullets, the TSX in particular. Since first using them in 2008, I have had zero problems/failures with them. I have shot animals from Jackal to Buffalo with them and my confidence in them is immense. I am also an advocate for accuracy...

    South Africa's New Customs Online Traveler Declaration

    We ignored it in early September and had no issues. I am a firm believer in never giving any government information unless I have to.

    Which one should be my third rifle and why...

    7x57/275 Rigby. No recoil to speak of. 175 grain round nose was instant death on waterbuck, kudu, steenbok, impala, duiker and blesbok. 100 to 300 yards. Also killed a camel thorn tree that I could not see a branch of on a waterbuck.
