    .378 Weatherby

    I love the 378 they pack a punch very few rifles compare to it, I would not place it in the stopper range as one would ideally be looking for a 500gr projectile to fall in this range. Can attest to the fact that they put a spell on cats and knock the black of Cape Buffalo. My best always

    New Double .577NE | 600NE | 700NE

    ;):) I have read through all the posts by now and keep on stopping at the lovely picture of Elizabeth Hurley.... Seriously though, I have thought and looked at it from every angle and have come to a very simple conclusion.... They are just not practical. Cost of ammunition, weight vs carry...

    About to go on Cape buffalo hunt, guns and calibers?

    Welcome to the family! Quite honestly a 375 and up is perfect. A suggestion, find a dealer where you can test fire both, the one that you are most comfortable shooting on the range is the correct one to buy! Good luck and enjoy it is a incredible hunt, when conducted appropriately! ;) :) My...

    It's very easy if those rifles are sponsored.... Preference is key that is correct.... I do not understand how PH's can make statements with regards to ph's based on stoppers used... I guess that's the point I'm getting to... The 577 and 600 are in the minority when we take fully operational...

    Adrian I disagree I constantly hunt DG more than Kudu every season....the true difference between 577NE the 460 WBY is negligable IMHO. When pushing 6000 Ft/lbs and upwards were splitting hairs, you might have a slight advantage on frontal bullet diameter but I doubt if it'll buy you time just...

    Mark gave myself and Eon Kok the same chirp about 12 years ago we were standing at our booth at the eastern outdoor show, when Mark casually approached and initiated conversation. Soon we ended up on stoppers Mark enquired as to what we were using I stated 460 weatherby, Eon 500 Jeffrey, Mark...

    Solid or Partition Bullets for African Lion

    I would stick to a 500gt soft on the 458, the 400grain rounds are as well constructed when using well constructed rounds, but not a DGX or super doper bonded bullet. Go for the regular Hornady (interlock??) if I'm correct. And you'll be ok, cats are about wound channel matched with Hydrostatic...

    Gordon, I hunt truly wild lion as well, this was a decision based on overall emotion and not one that was intended to serve as a marketing campaign platform for some.

    Mozambique rifle import

    We became aware of the rediculously high increases in gun TIP fees early in March. See notice published in October 2014 attached. Despite an opportunity during the annual hunter's meeting in December to inform us of such, it has not been disclosed. Amos was until March, also unaware of this...

    Side by side or over under double rifle?

    It is a 470 NE, I understand that it opens a little further but find it negligible, the stiffer stacked barrels simply regulates better than sxs. I like the look of it as well and it has a larger front grip which I like... ;) But each to his own.

    Is this a fair price for a hunt?

    It does not look like a cost break down, what does it include apart from the animals listed, Which ones are trophies which ones aren't price seems good to me... Be aware of.. Taxes on daily rates and trophy fees? Transfers? Concession fees? Rifle import.
