I’ve shot thousands of prairie dogs with a 22 Hornet. Currently have 2 Ruger 77s and a custom based on a Ruger action! Mostly shoot 40gr Vmax using 296. All will shoot 1/2”. Had an Anchutz then a Sako custom years ago! Coyotes and foxes and sage rats are also easy targets Have thought...

I can’t believe nobody has said 6.5Creedmoor! Lol

Green first shot Red with #2 Red would brake posterior ramus of jaw Green maybe brain But realistically at 20yd full charge getting 10,000fpe in the head may be the best u can do

470NE double with My usual 500gr Aframes or Swift solids

2" below red dot

100% agree with above

High risk shot but Red with an A-frame

Yellow with second quick shot into the hip or pelvis on his exit! Again a double is king at that and a bolt will be lucky to get the second shot when you are within 30 yards or closer which is ideal! “When you can smell his breath it’s time to kill him and life doesn’t get better than that!”

None are ideal but this is the situation why I use a double rifle as with a bolt you only will get one shot at best! With a double if you are well practiced you MIGHT be lucky enough to get 2! I would try to put it between the eyes with 1 and #2 Hope for 4-6” above ur green dot to catch the...

I’ve used Ethiopian including this last trip a month ago, but the one thing I will tell you do not walk away from your incoming flight until there is a representative there to escort you to the Firearms checkpoint insist that that happens rather than have them rush you through security by...

I really would love to find a 450-3.25 but so far no luck. I would sell my other doubles for a 450-3.25 and just keep it and the 450-400 that has been great>. the 470NE is not been any fun just unpleasant to shoot in a Heym 88, shot a PH's V-C in 470 and it was even worse! His 500 NE...

All the Buffalo I've taken have been with a double. 470NE on two with 500gr A-Frames. Got tired of the recoil! went to a 450-400 and have been delighted with the results! Using Swift 400gr A-frames have been able to drop the most recent ones including this year with 2 quick shots! Usually...

BARREL LENGTH AND LOP?

Left.

I have one I will have to dig it out tomorrow. Came off a 300 WM with one piece floor plate. Nice wood Send me a pm and I’ll text u photos tomorrow

What scope mounts can be used on them??

I have a 300wm I bought with a fiberglass stock and an equivalent beautiful wood stock but clearly the wood was from something other than this stainless gun is. It had a piece of leather cut for the front lug and the bottom metal didn’t fit right. I’m just getting home late tonight from...

What caliber did this come off of?

1.Heym 450-400 DR 2. Dakota 76 416 Rigby traveler With 338 LM barrel 3. 404J

I have 3 Shilo Sharps 45-120, 45-70, 50-110 Shot 3 Bison with them on WY ranch and one free range in Kansas in 1970

Welcome to AHf from ranch in the Snowy Range

I’ve hunted elk for 60years (1st one age 7) my dad was an outfitter in CO. I live in Premium elk country of WY and hunt multiple states for years! Your list lacks heavy for Caliber, limitation with Blazer is 11” twist in 30cal rarely will stabilize 200 and even some 180s Spent much of my life...

Welcome to AH from the Wyoming Surgeon Spend a lot of time in the summer in the Kenai and have for years. Just finishing 22d in the Capriva in Namibia hunting buffalo and Leopards and I will tell you Alaska and the bush of Africa are magical places! Look forward to making that connection...

Light= 300WM Medium=375 to 416 heavy=458 to 500 Super Light 22 Hornet

Either Heym's 88 in 470 or even the 450--400. backup with 416 Rigby or 458 lott I have in Dakota Travelers! but with out hesitation either doubles even on buffalo

I use nothing but 300 grain swift A-frames out of a 370 on everything and consider Barnes but as a very last resort for several reasons, including inconsistent, accuracy, expansion, penetration, and the horrendous copper fowling. If you’re reloader and can get Norfork, I think they work very...

Uganda next year thru Christian Weth with Charl Van Rooyen (early2025) and back again in 2026 to Hunt with my good friend & PH Thierry Labat and both will be the three major areas one on a "D" license and one on a "E" license with all three major hunt areas (Kafu, Aswa-Lolim, & Karamojo) Both...

Last summer I used 300 win mag with 200 grain A-frames slow down to 2700 ft./s as that was recommended by Bill at swift who has a lot of experience with shooting leopards. It was a one shot kill at 48 yards and I used a 3 x 18 x 56 VX six leupold after testing multiple scopes in low light...

Is this gun still available?

I have several double rifles and asst like this is a great combo. The design adds to safety and is a bonus! Good luck with the sale. But u should consider taking it to Africa yourself in honor of your dad!

too many!

The Americases are first class wish they were still building all their products!

I have one on this order. Haven't used it to travel with but at 31.2# it means Business or First class with 3 guns>. My Heym 470NE, 375 and custom 300WM (5.29#) plus 2 scopes is 68# Pelican 1615 with custom foam interior will take the Heym and a Dakota traveler in 458 Lott with a 375 barrel...

what headstamp on the 12 boxes of 30-06

I have virtually the same identical set! Absolutely love it. With a custom interior in a Pelican suitcase I put my Heym 470 double and its perfect for travel anywhere in the world! My first Traveler is in 338 Lapua and 416 Rigby which is a good combo also All four calibers shoot Swift...

This started with prairie dogs on public land, In the next 20 years there will be no hunting in Colorado! I have hunted the world and taking a firearm in and out of Denver International Airport is a more hostile experience than the vast majority of the airports in the country and even most...

Too much government and one more way to stop hunting on foreign lands and Gun ownership!

Mongolia x2 late 80s

Used one to build a custom rifle. Action worked well and took some work to slick up and blueprint about like current Mod 70

Is this still for sale?

Mine arrived Saturday Wt 33.7 lbs

Kinetreck Safaris

Has this got the new 3” chambers?

I’ve used a Lexus with 375 & 300 RUM barrels and a Heym 470 NE double in a 1615 pelican case in the past worked well, 180 & 200 Aframes will work despite all Blazer 30cal barrels are 11” twist! I’ve gone back to a pair of Dakotas in 300 WM & 375 with a double this year and I’m much more...

Virtually identical to what I wear. I live in the snowy Range west of Laramie and hunt there and Greys River area in. western Wyoming on a horse so elk skin shaps and kinetrec boots

Any of you Zimbabwe PHs ever bring in ammo from USA specific to your license when you fly in from US

Paid for mine. Told over 80 on order great job here on AH!

Used one in 3gun and was too busy there! Look at the Trijicon 1-8 I’ve used it the last 2 trips to Africa and really like it, it replaced a Swaro 1-6

Hunted there twice in late 80’s Moral Stag and Ibex. It was a hell of adventur, down vortex jacket was my best friend. In talking to those who offer these hunts now at DSC & SCI I think it’s likely much less ”wild and woolly“ now! But trust me it will be an adventure

have found any meat in Africa that wasn’t excellent! Only issue it is often overcooked like any wild red meat anything more than medium rare is overcooked Sable, eland, oryx, Nyla, buffalo tenderloin in that order
