I have the exact same No1 in 30-06 and it shoots well. I had one in 375 H&H and it wasn't bad on recoil.

One of the best looking cars ever built, what year is it? I also love the BMW 2800 and 3.0S sedans, pure elegance.

Look at how the light brings out the grain on that No1! And what a spectacular bull.

All of the above...

If the late Lon and Liesl who now runs the outfit use Mike then that would be good enough a recommendation for me. I visited Lon just before he passed away snd I believe I met Mike that evening, he had just guided a client on a successful leopard hunt.

Rook, I may get roasted for this, but I honestly prefer the lines of the No1 to the Model10. The thought of a 375 Flanged No1 is appealing. If that were to become a reality I would go to town on it, get a grade 9 stock, oxide colouring and a red recoil pad. Or if I could find it this Holland...

7x20 Swarovski pocket binos. Of course there would always be an Opinel No7 carbone in the opposite pocket, but that is taken for granted.

I shot my first buffalo with my Ruger No1 Tropical in 375H&H. It was fitted with a Leica Magnus 1-6.3x24i, a very nice set up. I wasn't concerned about the speed of the second shot, it was more using a single shot that appealed to me. It is just so correct. Now I use a double rifle for buffalo...

No CZ, I sold it to a collector here in Zimbabwe, to fund the Land Rovers.

I loved my MGA's, but now into series 1 Land Rovers as you know.

All of my ammo is self loaded, but even then the cost is of virtually no consequence relative to the pleasure of shooting. I chose 30-06 in Ruger No1 more because it was what I could get, but if one in 275 Rigby was lying next to it I would have taken that irrespective of ammo cost. I chose...

If you post interesting factual stuff about guns and hunts you advance to the next level. If you post nonsense on the politics thread you go back down.

The search is part of the fun.

Thank you CZ, that is a great help.

I think Karel has it.

Hello AH group, looking for your advice please. We have come across a 475No2 double by F. G. Scott, old and worn, but shoots. Assuming it was in good mechanical condition, how usable would it be on DG? Are brass and bullets available?

Beautiful rifles in a great setting, the flying pig lamp is special.

That is an exceptional deal.

All these great single shots, I have never giver out so many hearts on a thread. Mine is pretty plain, but it needs no adorning. 30-06.

I mentioned a Ruger No1 in 30-06, but Grumpy has it right on the nail, 300 H&H is even more classic. Lets ask @Doug3006 to please post a picture of his rifle, which I had the great pleasure to carry on a brief hunt in Limpopo.

First hunt was with Mokore Safaris. The second hunt was with David Mann, who freelances. It was out of Hammond section.

The older I get the more I appreciate unadorned quality, just plain, simple and fresh. Whether it be new or vintage, it is about no frills. If I were to get another Rolex it would be this one.

I don't know Mozambique at all, and only a bit of Tanzania, so not much to tell you about those, but Zimbabwe offers some very good buffalo hunting. As others have said it is as much about the area and feel as the animal and in Zimbabwe you can get both. The whole trophy vs non trophy thing in...

Not all of South Africa is 'by the inch' and it would be dead simple to establish that with a simple question. In fact by the number of SA outfitters advertising really decently priced all in buffalo hunts on AH I would say the by inch crowd are a minority. I have also seen exceptionally good...

At the lower end of the budget spectrum a Ruger No1 in 30-06. At the upper end a Dakota Arms model 10. You don't get any more classic than a single shot rifle, and both of these are pure beauty.

So now it appears that a large number of documents supposedly signed by Biden were in fact auto pen signatures. So the question arises as to who was controlling the auto pen and therefore the government? Could this rise to the level of a coup? And does it contravene your constitution? Surely...

I had my GMT Master 2 serviced by Rolex, it took about four months. The reason I did it was that it was losing a bit of time. Also new mechanisms, whether it be a car or a watch run in and in doing so sharp edges are worn off. That gunk needs to come out as soon as possible, then you should have...

I believe the Democrats, and in particular their leadership, have crossed the point of no return. The donkey has become an ass. There is a sensible core amongst them though and it is likely that they will be alienated, or alienate themselves until a critical breakaway mass forms and they will...

The common ground is quite easy to define, it is common sense. Until the Democrats and liberals in general embrace that concept there will be no reconciliation. Holding onto woke is a losing strategy.

Two things to note, the doll's head is locating well and the tang is central. I am no expert upon these old doubles, but I would have jumped at this.

Any chance of a few more photos, especially one of the top?

A real beauty. Note the long water table which makes for a stronger action and lockup. Well done.

Looks like plain price increase.

Trump is the most powerful man on the planet. He is not known for nice and he is not known for tact. He has the power to leverage whatever he wishes and whether you blame he or Zelenskyy for the un-expected outcome of round 1, it is just the beginning. Putin will get his turn soon and I am...

This is being way overblown. The minerals deal will be signed and then the rest of the serious negotiations begin with Putin. Personally I feel a lot safer in the world where leaders are open and transparent, warts and all. They said what they truly felt and meant, so you work from there.

50 metres/yards, and try to get within that distance before shooting. On my last hunt we were looking for a non-trohy, which is elusive. We must have stalked into at least seven herds searching and measuring and always got to within 50 metres. It was quite easy. On one occasion we got to 20...

If it is not a pith helmet, then I favour the Stewart Granger look, with a cream puggaree. Craig Boddington had a nice one. I have managed to recreate it by fitting a puggaree to my Akubra Angler. I like the angler the best out of their range because of it's modest crown, the others sit too tall.

Well done! What a great buy.

The leader of a large nation, in fact the largest and most powerful nation in existence is a very big job. It is an awful lot to ask of a single human, but if you dilute the task down to a committee it is longer leadership. The very essence of sharp decision brings with it character, you can't...

The USA was in a huge mess, still is, but at least there is a different trajectory now. It affects us all. I am utterly shocked at the nit picking going on - give it a chance folks, look at the big picture. Surely the big items must be bringing you some satisfaction: Securing of the southern...

I was extremely fortunate to find this bronze Walking Lion lamp by Maitland Smith, 1950's, bought it in California and shipped it to Zimbabwe.

The double is beautiful, but please can you shed a bit of light upon the lion? I presume it is a bronze?

Trudeau was voted in, so was Stamer, so the Canadians and the British en bulk are complicit. Yes the resources of Canada and the 'Special Relationship' of the British are valuable to the US, but there is a bag of damaging negatives that come with it too. So how do you change a national...

Buffalo 450/400 And it will do the rest too.

Gosh, that is beautiful, especially with the heavy barrel. If that was for sale in South Africa it would be mine already.

One of the refreshing things about Trump's team is precisely that academic qualifications are not top of the list, but rather the ability to be sensible and know right from wrong. This is not about being able to play three-dimensional chess, but the courage to wipe the corrupt board clean.
