    some color blindness

    I went to Africa last year and as I have always known I have some color deficiencies. When I am whitetail hunting I hunt a lot in fields so I have never had an issue like I did there. My number 1 animal was a Kudu. I could not see them in the cover. I felt like an idiot. The PH would say...

    416 help

    Yeah I’ve been watching that gun. To many options. So good points made to just find a 375. I have a custom 45-70 with suppressor I would like to take for my other animals. For no other reason than I love the gun!

    416 help

    I’m actually looking at 375’s. Big bore in general are a tough find. I am going to bare foot safaris. I don’t go till June of 26. I just want to get it so I can be very comfortable with whatever gone I take.

    Both of the Rutgers have brakes but I’m pretty sure they can be removed and a solid piece comes with them. Maybe not

    416 help

    I have experience with 45-70. That was initially what I was planning on using. After a lot of input I want to use a little more gun. No need to make a dangerous hunt more dangerous.

    416 help

    My next trip to Africa I want to take a Cape buffalo. I really want the weatherby with brake but that isn’t looking good. Ruger makes a 416 that looks good in the guide or Hawkeye. Would like some input. Don’t kill me or make it to complicated. I arrived at the 416 weatherby from someone...

    Official AH Get Together In Nashville During Safari Club International (SCI) Convention 2024

    Would love this but going to dinner with the owners of the safari we went to in July. I am new in here. Are the members here entirely hunters? I am really getting into this. I have only been on 1 trip but was so impressed we’re going down there to see them at SCI and already booked again...

    . I’m thinking the 400 because it has a little more energy and similar velocity up close. I wanted to talk to someone about this thought and also. If I should take the 300 for the other animals. I don’t want to destroy them. Not much of a chance of +100 yards where I’m going.

    I’m going back to Africa next year. I’m taking my 45-70. My ph likes the Barnes ammo. Looking at the 2 weights 300or 400. My ph says to pick which works best. I’m not noticing a difference in accuracy. My primary animal is the cape with extras being wildebeest and a gemsbok
