My loadout is quite basic but works for me. Rifle with sling, 20 rounds of ammo in 2 ten round belt slides and a 5 round wallet in my pocket. Sunglasses, hat, binoculars, Garmin Inreach, mobile phone for camera, Leatherman Wave, spare contact lenses and a small steel mirror in a tiny pouch on my...

How did you mount the RMR? Considering doing exactly the same! Any chance of a photo?

Can I ask if the camp is sole occupancy or shared with other hunting groups?

Great write up so far. I hunted Dande with Gareth and Daniel in 2024 out of Matombo camp and had a great time. @Lancaster was with me and his PH was David Mann. Anyone booked to hunt with them will have a great time!

Hahaha, “the spousal unit”….. Rest in peace dear friend analog_peninsula

Based on these recovered bullets from a buffalo, hippo skull and giraffe (which was shot at extended range with terminal velocity of around 1800fps) I would feel very confident that the large calibre TSX bullets will perform exactly as intended.if heavy bone is hit a petal may shed, otherwise...

I know what you are saying and I may well increase the grade of wood once I have seen them. I have been trying to see what grade 3 and grade 4 look like and found these examples. To me they are very nice ly figured for a relatively low grade. Butt pad to the left is grade 3 and the other is grade 4

Does that clamp straight onto the dovetail under the mounting plate or is there a separate plate that interfaces between rib and aimpoint?

Yes that might be a better option much as I hate the look of a picatinny rail. Many thanks

This is one thing that I need to clarify what exactly the tip off mount is… all the Kreighoff doubles I have seen have the removable mounting plate on the rib. Presumably there are off the shelf interfaces below that plate?

That’s lovely wood! I like the dark/ light contrasts in the wood, not keen on fiddleback. I’m a less is more kind of guy I guess!!

No I have not but I shoot a fairly light 458 Lott quite regularly so I’m hoping it will be manageable

I would like a red rubber pad for the looks alone. My DG so far has been buffalo, elephant ( unfortunately unsuccessfully) and hippo. Next year hopefully elephant 2.0 and probably buffalo the following year!!

I’m going through the process of ordering a K gun and I’m intending to go with the following specifications: .500 NE- standard engraving 24 inch barrels PH ProCoating Wood category 003 Express rifle sights with flip up night sight Nitrate finish Tip off mount for Aimpoint micro H2. Steel...

Thanks for the reply Philip. I have thought the same but having gone with Talley mounts the only difference between the fixed and QD mounts is having a thumb screw on the clamping bolt. I can switch from fixed to QD rings by swapping the bolt. Why not have the QD option??
