Another day in Africa

I hope you told him to F### off !

That is quite reasonable for the level of service you get at Game 4 Africa.

I hunted with Game 4 Africa safaris 2 years ago and took the buffalo, kudu and impala package. It was a marvellous week. The accommodations and food are superb and the hunting was great. Have no fears, just send your deposit and sit back and enjoy. Bar the flights anyway.

I have a Meopta R2 1,7-10x42. It’s a lovely piece of glass with an illuminated reticle. The Optika range are a more mid range scope but if the price is right I’d jump on it.

One sold at Holts auction house in the U.K. recently for £850 plus commissions (25%) IIRC

Sadly @BeeMaa speaks the truth. Having purchased a 375 some years ago and having gotten used to it on plainsgame the itch to hunt a Cape buffalo got stronger and stronger. Just one, that’ll do. 2024 I hunted a great package with @GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS, Cape buffalo, kudu and impala. I remember...

This is far older than me. I am perfectly happy with it and we are off to Namibia again next week.

I hunted with Game 4 Africa Safaris in 2024. The place is outstandingly professionally run. I hunted a buffalo bull, kudu and impala. My buddy took a buffalo cow at a very attractive price. It might be well worthwhile considering this outfit.

I have used a Pelican 1750 for one or two rifles. It’s great but big, long and awkward to manoeuvre through an airport or into a vehicle. After a couple of trips abroad I realised that one of the first things done after a beer to wash the road dust out of your throat is to check zero on the...

Hunting buffalo to my mind is the experience. The tracking, reading the wind, watching the trackers doing their thing and trying yourself to interpret their decisions on which way nyati has gone now. In this instance size doesn’t matter ! Whatever size buffalo you shoot he will be impressive...

Lovely bases on your gemsbock and an enjoyable report to read.

Magne-tech make a base attaching to a picatinny rail. The rings, a one piece system, then attach to this. Optics planet stock them. It could be an answer.

I’ve hunted in Czech several times for driven boar. It’s been great. Hubertus hunting tours are based in Prague. They were offering driven boar hunts last winter close to the area I have been in. I asked the Czech organiser if he knew anything about them. He gave them the thumbs up. They...

@BavarianHunter , welcome and looking forward to your hunting report. Pictures please also.
