Did Dakota Taxidermy mount the Rhino for you? The reason why I asked is they mounted one for a person from Minnesota and it looks just like the one you've got.

That's the happiest looking cape buffalo I've ever seen!

Hornady 470 Nitro DGX? I think they recently made a run ammo for the 470.

I'm booked with Tsala Safaris in June for Cape Buffalo and Sable and I absolutely cannot wait!

Tsala Safaris!

Get in touch with Tsala Safaris they may be able to help you.

I mounted the patrol 6 1-6x24 on my Dakota 76 416 Remington Magnum and it'll be going with me for my cape buffalo hunt in June of 2024! So far I really like the scope and think it will be perfect for dangerous game hunting. I don't care for the CDS dials on this type of scope especially when...

Build one in 9.3x74r I will buy one!

I wish they would make that in 9.3x74r!

Those are definitely nice rifles, I have one in a 416 Remington mag and I like it more then the current Safari Express Winchester offers!

It would be nice to see Federal premium 470 Nitro 500 grain woodleigh sp again, it would be even nicer if they would make some before my Buffalo hunt next June!

That's a early to mid 90's Classic super Express,

My first trip also, Cape Buffalo is my main goal with a Sable also on the list, I will be going with Tsala Safaris!

Good luck and safe travels, I will be making that flight next June!

I'm sure him and Cal Pappis are discussing 4 bore's and 600s right now! RIP Safari Kidd!

For what I understand is that the 350 grain TSX doesn't open any more than the 300 grain and tends to over penetrate risking wounding another buffalo in a herd! I don't speak from experience just repeating what the good doctor said!

Iraq8888 has a YouTube video of the Quigley rifle that was given to the Brownells family by Tom Selleck.

I believe he gave that gun to the Brownells family to put in their firearms Museum.

I say shoot both before you decide! I may be crazy but I actually prefer The recoil ofthe 416 Remington mag over the 375, to me the 375 feels like a sharper faster recoil whereas the 416 Remington is more of a hard push. Everyone perceives recoil differently so shoot both and figure out which...

There are some deals out there if you look, just purchased on GunBroker a Dakota 76 416 Remington mag for about half the price of what they last sold for.

That is exactly what JJ told me, and it worked for my Chapuis Elan 470 Nitro and 500gr Swift A-frames! Chronograph right at 2048 feet per second regulated at two inches apart at 50 yards, this is the load I will use for my Cape Buffalo hunt next June!

I just booked my flights to South Africa for June of 2024 through Gracy travel. Emma helped out immensely and got me the best rates for premium select seats, still expensive but I'll be on my way to Africa for my first Safari next June!

Well hopefully since Beretta owns Chapuis arms they will keep making ammunition for the doubles they build.

Is that the one you took with Tsala Safaris?

The 270 WBY has all that is good about the 270 win plus 200-300fps! Honestly can't go wrong with either!

270 WBY mag!

Nice rifle, great thing about the 460 Weatherby Magnum is you don't have to load it to Max performance for it to be effective!

The Winchester Model 70 stainless classic 375 H&H has gone up in value over couple of years they regularly sell on GunBroker for $2,500-$3,000!

I had to do the same thing to get five boxes of 416 caliber 400 grain A-frames. They were never listed on their website but a little bird told me they might have some in stock, so I called them and sure enough they had a small quantity available!

I had a friend back in the late 90s who was building custom 50 BMG Target rifles and we found that pretty much every scope except the Leopold Mark 4 would not stand up to the 50 BMG for the same reasons you noted. The recoil impulse of the 50 BMG and the muzzle brake tended to shake Scopes to...

I've never had a Leupold scope shift zero on me and I've used them on everything from 22LR-50bmg! I do know this when the US Army did some testing of optics for their sniper rifles in the early 2000's they threw rifles with optics out of helicopters and the only two scopes to hold zero were the...

Agreed

I do believe that people perceive recoil differently and to me it just seemed like the 375 had a sharper faster recoil whereas the 416 Remington was hard but it was a slower recoil! My current rifles are a Winchester model 70 stainless classic 375 H&H mag, a Winchester model 70 super Express...

Maybe I'm a little off my rocker but I've owned three 375 H&H mags and three 416 Remington mags and I swear I do believe the 416 Remington mag kicks less than the 375's! A few years back I had a matching set of Winchester model 70 Safari express one in 375 H&H and one in 416 Remington mag! The...

I say if it's your dream to hunt Buffalo with a double rifle then do it. After surviving a kidney transplant where I had complications that nearly took my life and spending 5 days in a coma, I decided that I'm going to live my dream of hunting a cape buffalo with a double rifle. Being a...

Still hoping for a 9.3x74r!

Swift bullets makes factory ammo for the 375 Ruger.

I just wish they'd make one in a 9.3x74r, then I'd be the first one in line to order one!

Champlin's arms has a used Heym professional hunter 88 470 Nitro in stock right now, call and ask for George and he can set you up.

Dakota taxidermy Bismarck North Dakota, they have several people working there that have won world championships!

Or sleeping in a tent in sub zero weather eating food prepared by a half star chef/Guide out of a freshly opened can!

I've been wondering the same thing, I'm sure someone here will be able to provide you with the answers.

I guess if it was my rifle I'd get it fixed and take it hunting!

I shot a whitetail doe at about 50 yards with a 375 Remington ultra mag and a 270 grain factory load, it wasn't pretty!

That's awesome deal I paid a lot more for the one I have on my 416 Remington mag!

Yeah I don't think I'll adjust the load from there, I think it's good enough!

I found a load that regulates in Chapuis 470 Nitro today and it only took four rounds to do it! The load that regulates is a 500 grain Swift A-frames using 100 grains of IMR 4831 powder, at 50 yards right and left barrels are 1/2 inch apart, velocity is right at 2050 ft per second. Should put...

Midway USA has in stock right now Leopold vx3hd 1.5-5x24 with firedot reticle and 30 mm tube $699.99

I guess it depends on what kind of dangerous game you're hunting.
