    Threaded vs not on 375 HH mag

    I do too! But that suppressed fierce of my Dad’s is sure easy shooting. I’ve had a bad concussion so I am more sensitive than I used to be to recoil.

    Threaded vs not on 375 HH mag

    My Dad and I just hit the range with our rifles, first time I have ever had a side by side comparison in shooting a 375 with a can vs a 375 without. Even on a really light rifle (fierce), the recoil was much more enjoyable than that of my model 70. I am really conflicted on the pros and cons of...

    Preparing to order or buy a Double Rifle: help me choose the caliber

    I think the 450/400 is a no brainer here, as the Heym guy put it at dsc last year “us mortals need something we can shoot well, not necessarily a stopping rifle” Good luck!

    Politics

    I think he was just trying to demonstrate his stamina compared to Biden. I don’t care if he talks for 6 days at a time as long as his policy agenda shows up for us. Maybe Don Jr can work on some of the trophy import bans when he gets reelected.

    Scope for Win70 in 375

    I don’t see the point in running a scope that small on a 375. How many people have actually been killed due to having a low end minimum zoom of > 1 x? I’d rather make sure my first shot is a bullseye, and for me that’s a 3-9. I don’t want milk jug accuracy at 125 just in case I have a 10 yard...

    I’ve been trying to follow this story, does the removal of anc as the majority increase the possibility for land grabbing?

    Buffalo arrows

    I’m 1,000 % convinced you are on the right track. The meat eater podcast with Ed Ashby changed my life. I have no experience to add on buff hunting, but that’s what I would use. Good luck

    July Bowhunting Safari

    I did a lot of bow hunting on my first safari in 2007 and had tremendous luck, it is fun to really sit out in the African wilderness for extended periods of time, the wind changing can clear a waterhole very quickly.

    The Ideal African "Light Rifle", that is the Question?

    Light rifles are bullshit once you have a big bore, the more you use and carry the 375 the more proficient you will get with it. Why risk ever being undergunned? They also work great on the tiny 10. If you want to keep spending $ you can always get better binoculars

    Average Shot Range in East Cape SA

    I would plan on being proficient out to 300-400 yards, I took some long pokes out to 260 with my 375, I will be going with a 200 yard zero next time. I wouldn’t cut the rifle to run the can, it’s not going to matter if it looks like a flag pole.

    Optics thoughts, Leica vs Leupold

    I have been underwhelmed with my Leica trinovid Bino purchase for what this is worth. I know it is there lower end but have always bought optics in that class from zeiss and leupold and truly find myself grabbing my vortex more often than not as the handling is superior. Go figure

    Gaiters or blousing garters?

    I wore full length gaiters from cabelas and treated them heavily with Sawyers, I’ve had lyme’s disease and do not want tick bite fever. They do make it easier to stomp through low mountain brush as well

    New custom rifle questions

    Fierce 375hh rifle just arrived for my dad for our buff trip next summer. I am looking for feedback on the scope mount, I didn’t pick it, I think it crowds the action too much. I also cycled a few rounds and the action is not that smooth, there is also a very clear shearing effect on the...

    Threats to Hunting

    I’m actually really encouraged lately… I think Joe Rogan has brought a ton of good attention to hunting and I find a lot of his non-hunting listeners have + attitudes about what it is that we do. Need more celebrity voices like him that don’t care about backlash from the uninformed. The health...

    Shoulder vs Euro Mount

    I have never regret a euro mount, I think they are equally cool, I probably end up doing 50/50 across the board. If it is something really wild I usually go shoulder or full body. I think the tiny 10 all look cool as full body mounts. My klipsringer is a show stopper in my trophy room. Most...

    Wild hog meat… do you eat it or is it too risky?

    I have a hard time enjoying bear and pork meat, primarily due to the parasites that have been mentioned. I used to love eating them but lately I’ve lost my touch.

    Blaser R8 & Dangerous Game?

    I do not own one but I have handled them at several shows, and read more than I’d care to admit about them. They are arguably the nicest repeating rifles in existence. I think that you will have a ball with that thing on a buff hunt.

    Leupold CDS Feedback

    200 yard zero is all you need in my opinion, couldn’t imagine dialing with a 375 off sticks in the heat of battle, then dialing it back in case it gets up close and personal, then adjusting the mag. No thanks

    .223 for Steinbok, Duiker, Klipspringer?

    If I bother bringing a light rifle on my next safari to complement my 375, it will probably be my 22 mag. I have a bunch of smaller trophies I’ve been dying for. Guineas, primates, and the tiny 10. Would anybody have any experience on best loads for something like that? I usually shoot jhp 40...

    Plains Game With A .375 ...Recommended ? If so 250 Grain or 300?

    I did a pg with my 375 last year with 300 grain Barnes tsx. Shot 5 animals, it has a ton of knockdown power, and even dropped a sable in its tracks. Only thing I’ll change is adding 200 yard zero vs 100

    Truck - what do you drive, and why?

    I am on my 3rd ram, the interior, price point, and performance are tough to beat in my opinion, if you test drive one it's over. I tow by 21 foot whaler outrage with no problems, the split tailgate, heads up display, and adaptive cruise control are features that are worth the extra $- and the...
