Obvious!

Unfortunately I'm SO old school the caliber doesn't even get me a little curious...……………….as good as the ballistics are...………….sorry!

Yeah Mike, I am trying, but its tough to get to Harare! need to find a day or two...……...but the temptation and desire are real!

Hi Guys, reaching out to those who know a lot more than me. I am looking for a .400 size class bolt rifle that is a bit out of the ordinary. I have considered all the logical (but more mainstream) calibers like the .416 Rigby, the 404J and even upwards. Then I found a pretty, if simple...

Just a question, what makes it non trophy? Is it non exportable? Or is there a size limit?

Ok, so I ended up buying the Racing Sporting FAIR. Absolutely beautiful gun and awesome to shoot. In fact, it is indistinguishable from the Beretta 690 in looks and feel. (Ok, the 690 has some orange and different wood, but same components and geometry.) I have definitely stepped up my game...

I took my first bushbuck this past weekend. It is a Chobe Bushbuck, hunted in Zambia. I took it with my .375H&H at about 40m, so a little overkill. What beautiful animals and a great hunt. I doubt it will be my last bushbuck.

Hi Guys, A question for all the knowledgeable. Has anyone hunted Doma Safari area recently? I am considering an early season hunt there next year and am wondering how the area is populated with Game? I believe Ele aren't a problem, but Buff etc may be less plentiful. Any input from people...

Well, to be fair the 9.3x74R barrels are much lighter, so the balance isn’t perfect. However it isn’t bad enough to make me not use it. I love shooting that setup!

Hi Opposite Pole, Thanks for that pricelist, things Have sure become expensive. The 20g barrels are neat, but take some getting used to, as the stock is very heavy and the barrels are super light! So not well balanced, but I have shot a fair amount of clays with it, just takes some getting...

Hi Bushpig4ever. I need a permanent export doc and import doc and having some hassles. Hopefully will be able to make a plan. The gun is plain, with almost no engraving. So it’s not a “sidelock” style side plate, but it’s super clean.

Hi guys, I have a question for those who know a lot mor than me! I have a Krieghoff Big 5 Double with 3 x barrel sets (quite unusual) - 470NE, - 9.3x74R - 20g Shotgun The rifle has been hunted with, so has some light handling marks. It shoots fantastically and is my go to for most of my...

Matt85, I have one on my Krieghoff Double........dont sell it so fast.........you may just want to put it on...... Yes yes, I know it breaks the classic look......but when your eyes get as bad as mine, a little help is always prudent!

Thanks guys, seems to be similar consensus to what I am hearing from some of the locals this side. I am going to go shoot it and then decide.

Hi Guys, does anyone have any experience with F.A.I.R or Lincoln (made in the same factory) shotguns? I believe F.A.I.R. made guns for a variety of brands, but havent seen or heard too much about them. I have been offered a Racing Sporting version with amazing wood and lovely finish at what...

I pulled this 7mm Rem Mag Swift A Frame (160gr) out of a Blue Wildebeest I recently shot. It was a 200m frontal shot. I haven't weighed it, but it appears to have retained almost all its weight. Very impressed with the performance.

Hi Simon, hat ould it cost to add a buff to this special? great option!

What a special, any Buff up that side?

Thats a great looking rifle and excellent choice of Calibres! I also have a Krieghoff, albeit MUCH less fancy than yours in the same calibres! Owning a 375H&H also i wasnt sure about the 9.3x74R, but I have fallen in love with it. The .470NE is a dream to shoot and as you say way more...

As guy who has a Krieghoff .470NE, if I had the choice, I would probably lean toards the Heym........................... BUT I have had the forend reworked and the rest of the stock refininshed and I really enjoy my K gun! Accurate and great to shoot................so a tough one.............

Rookhawk, you have nailed it. I was lucky enough to find my double in exactly that .470NE 9.3x74R 20guage and i can tell you that is as close as you can get to nailing the safari set. If I had to have one built for me...............personally for nostalgic reasons mainly I would have gone...

Yeah yeah............a bow stand would be great, but this one really is more for the pleasure of being in the bush, without the crazy costs and admin of owning your own game farm.

Hi Dan, The farm has about 100 freehold stands on the farm (where an owner can build and own their own lodge), whilst your levies contribute to your portion of the communal farm running and common farm area. There is active management and last year approx R500k profit was derived from the sale...

Hi guys, not strictly for hunting, but certainly bush related. I have a stand on a 2000 plus hectare game farm in Limpopo. Just to be clear this is NOT a hunting farm, but it has plenty game. This would make a great weekend spot for someone based in JHB/PTA. The farm is near vaalwater and has...

I can only reiterate what has already been said...............I would hunt any of our African plains game with my 7mm Rem Mag. It is a great PG rifle with a decent bullet. (too many to choose........) So on that front dont hesitate to take it as PG rifle. I must however concur that my 375 H&H...

I have to concur having hunted Dande South hard! We saw plenty of buff during the hunt....................... I would estimate 300-400 buff, but only 1, possibly a 2nd (but i saw that one for a second) were hard bulls. All the rest were lovely wide..............but seriously soft and shiny young...

I would say that if the .470NE was not fun - assuming too much recoil - I would look to the weight of the rifle rather than calibre in that class. My .470NE is much more fun to shoot than my .375H&H and this is attributed to the weight of the rifle and higher velocity. For me in that class take...

Congrats! Certainly are correct in saying you are envied by many! I would like tro suggest that you maybe write a monthly blog on how ist going...................I know I would find it interesting.............and it would be great to refer back to for you one day when you are old! (Like some of...

My oldman always swore about the peep sight being absolutley instinctive and fast. I believe if your eyes are good, its as fast as a red dot.................with my bad eyes, I unfortunately have to bastardise my double with a red dot!!!

Have any of you read the book "Killing for Profit" - Julian Rademeyer Punpitak Chunchom and hunting outfitter Juan Pace with a pile of money that is believed to have been payment for the first rhinos that the Xaysavang syndicate shot Have a read and look at the pics .......... you will see...

Do you have pics of the barrel crowns? How long have you had the rifle?

Hi Wayne, I am also interested in the exact area that you will be hunting, what the camp is like and will it be exclusively yours for the hunt? What dates are you thinking about?

Hey Gundog, interested in your comment? Why do you say that about their service? I have had some really good support from Ralph and from our local agent is RSA. Is this relevant to your local agent, or to the Factory?

Well I guess its all been said. I agree this is the THE forum for hunting...........I just hope it doesn't go the way of the Viagra touting magazine commented on above. I will certainly keep reading and looking at deals as I really enjoy them. I am glad everyone seems happy still and hope...

Hi, Is it just me, or has this site now become more about general hunting. especially the last while with hunt offers. There seem to be more North America hunts offered than African hunts. I for one enjoy this site because of its Africa focus. I sure hope we aren't losing it, because there are...

Travelling a lot, but give me a call. you got my number Pete!

I did use it on that hunt, and got some great footage. Up close with Buff, its often tough to distinguish the buff, but that's because they ARE tough to distinguish! So I would say if its a great way to hang onto the memories!!! :A Big Hello:

Enjoy man! Cant beat it!

Possibly that, but more that it's a bit all over! In a list you can see if it's a species you are interested in and move down, now you have to move around the page looking at pics which may or sometimes may not represent the offered species and then read the wording etc. For me it's just not...

Hi all, is it just me, or is the new format of the Deals and Offers page hard to follow and read!? I really preferred having a list!(n)

Looks like .450NE to me.

Bushwack, seems you missed Pro Hunting Safaris point. He isn't looking for a fight............................I may be wrong...................but he is voicing his professional opinion, which just like yours is an opinion! Man lighten up!

Beautiful Rifle!!!! WOW!

Still Available!

EISH!!!!

great offer and plan Marty! Wish I wasn't building a house this year!

Hi Roan, I do have a .470NE, but as yet am not able to help with load info. I have not yet done any reloading. I have been using Norma Africa PH in my Krieghoff, The Hornady didn't regulate quite as nicely. I have a friend who will work up a load with me when I get time to get to the range, so...

Hi Guys, I still have the rings and VX 2 4-12 Scope. Anyone want to make a reasonable offer I would consider it. Would rather they went to a home and got used than sit in my cupboard!
