Very nice rifle Sir! Just love that peep sight on it! Good luck with auction!

Albert looks like you had a successful safari judging by your avatar! Hope you enjoyed it!

Doesn't look super great, but I would learn to live with it rather than go chopping the barrels. What I would do is change the front sight to a nice ivory bead.

Thanks will check it out!

Hi Awesome trip! Who did you use for the horse back trip? Want to do it as well.

Thanks man. Agree! SA can be just as good as Zim. Cheers.

Yea. Not far from Marble hall. Huntend them in Zim before so first time im SA. Was a better hunt than I had in Zim. Really had to work for him.

Thanks! Love that old warrior. Hunted him alone so after he was down and adrenaline wore down a little bit. I spent some time quite time with him. I used my Merkel. Cheers.

That AYA is beautiful. Yet another awesome gun that I cant buy! Good luck with sale.

I didn't. Would like to have seen as well. Did get a DGS though will post pic of it later.

So the Stewards did there job admirably!! Followed up with DGS that also worked nicely!

Thanks guys.

Thanks for the feedback. I decided to go with Stewards, they regulate just as well as the claws. The old Rhino were super! New stuff is crap IMO. Cant get them to group on any of my rifles, were the earlier stuff work 100%. I have got some Woodleighs coming but they wont be here in time for...

Thanks will give it a try!

Its not a shot directly into the spine. Its a high shoulder shot that breaks the spine.

Super deal! Sucks that our currency is soo crap! Would love to do this.

Will give that load a try. Thanks. Going to marble halls side.

Thanks a lot for help. What do you load your 470? I am on 106 gr S365.

Hi Thanks for info! I have shot the Claws a lot just not on buff. I am between them or Stewards. Both regulate nicely in my gun. I also like A Frames but they don't regulate in my rifle. The other choice is a DGX they regulate O.K.

Hi Guys What to know from some of the local guys if anyone has experience with CLAW bullets on buff? 500 gr 470 NE. (Not the Trophy bonded bear claws I know they work.) Cheers

Cant get better than that!! old crusty bull.

Thanks for the replay. What load would you suggest in 470ne for it to regulate? Regards,

I would rather go for a swift. Proven track record. Imo wouldn't use mono bullets on Lion and Leopard. Lucky for you there are many guys on there that have a lot of experience with Lion and Leopard they should be able to give you better info than I can.

If you were only able to get the rifle to RSA I would buy it in a second! Cant believe it hasn't been scooped up it yet. Maybe a couple more encouraging post to CAustin will help get it gone...

Very interesting. Would love to do a hunt like that.

That would have been a helluva Elephant to see.

No problem! Warne in our country is expensive. Go get some Leupold mounts they will work just as well. Its a low recoil rifle so no need to over pay and over do.

Welcome I have a set that I took off my old 375 worked 100% They are 25 mm mounts. If you want them you can have them. Just arrange a courier or someone to pick up. I am in JHB

That's a bit of an understatement!

I think 275 HH was derived from its bigger brother and not military. (also not sure) My choices 275 HH, 375 HH, 470 NE

Saw that is your birth day today, what a great present to go hunting!! I try and give myself that present at least 12 times a year. Happy Birthday! and Happy hunting! Enjoy RSA.

Sorry about your bad experience!!! There are a lot of super outfits in the Northern Cape, so don't right the Provence off too quickly!! It is without doubt my favorite province to hunt. Good to see Hunt the Sun wants to sort something out! Cheers

Hi I am a 270 fan and have shot a ton of plains game with it including eland with it. The 7x57 is one of my favorite Bushveld calibers but might be a bit to slow if you planning to take some of long shots at game. I think the 30-06 would be a better bet. There is no plains game animal the...

They will work just fine. All you need to do is place the bullet were it needs to be. Have shot a lot of game here with 30-06 150 gr combo. So your 165 gr will work. Rws is a great ammo manufacture.

Nice report and super trophies. Probably because of the crazy anti hunting nutballs out there.

Agree with Phoenix Phil. There is quite a jump from 308 to the other two. The 416 would be more than 3 times as much as 308 if you go on number alone. But number are misleading and felt recoil is determined by many factors, rifle weight, stock design, bullet load ect ... Best thing to do if...

Super Mtn Reedbuck!!!

This sucks i would buy a crap load of 470 and 416 Ruger ammo at those prices! Here its almost double the price. Hope you guys buy a ton!

If you get a problem again contact me you can borrow one of mine when you are here.

In NY go to the Met and Guggenheim to get your arts and culture fix. Then jump in a cab and go have a look at the Holland & Holland gun room to get your Gun fix. In Vagas go see Down town (old strip) and basically anywhere else there is awesome coming form RSA. Also try to get a helicopter...

Last year when we were there we just used sardines and they worked. Don't know with levels being super low now.

Agree with you 100 % People think feeding the cute little animals is harmless.

Dennis I think your nice is other Taxidermists perfect! Great work there!

Being on of those RSA citizens I would like to know if there is anyone out there that is willing to adopt a 33 year old? I come with evey little baggage. So I wont take up alot of space.

Gerhard any way to make a Boertjie package? Looking for n Vaalie en blue duiker.

Hi Guys I have a 100 Rhino 400gr 416 bullets that I have no use for anymore. Selling for R 400 per box of 20. Cheers

Be very careful with quick load and RSA components. Have gotten some very dodgy info from it. Rather be safe than sorry! Few FPS isn't worth you or your rifle getting smashed.

A Frame all the way! With Accubond in second.

Thanks Guys. The previous owner just go tired of our stupid licensing system and wanted to get rid off all his guns. Right time and place I suppose.
