I had Randy Selby build mine. Used a CZ 550 in a 375HH as the donor rifle. Works like dream. Took a nice bull elephant in 2022 hunting with Wayne at Nyamazana Safaris. You can see Randy’s videos on You Tube. The Real Gunsmith.
When I get something like that from someone I just ask them if they have ever been to Africa. When they say no, I simply tell them we can talk more when they have.
I’ve worn Kuiu hunting jackets and pants on two trips to Africa. It took a licking and kept on ticking through some wooly stuff. I wear the jacket to church sometimes.
The first time I hunted in Africa was on one of the hunts where I bought a gun and got a free safari. There were 3 animals included. I enjoyed hunting with them an added additional animals. I booked another week while I was there with another outfitter Tsala Safaris, to experience a different area.
I met with them at DSC. I told the guy about what Tom was working on for me before he left the company. He told me he would look into where things were. I’ve never heard back from them. I sent him an email this week and told him I would find someone else. Seems to me that since Tom left they...
I am about 2/3 through this book. It’s really good. Sue does a great job of telling the story and it brings back vivid memories of my own experiences. The way she lays out the facts about hunting and hunters would make anyone with an open mind see how things work for the benefit of the animals...
Buy you a pair of 4 Stable Sticks or Viperflex sticks. Shoot off them as much as you can. You cannot practice too much. It’s different shooting off sticks at the range than in the bush. Bush shooting will be on uneven ground sometimes and you may not have long to line up a shot.
I’m hunted both successfully this year in Zim with Wayne of Nyamazana Safaris. The safari was for 14 days. I had them pre bait for three days on the leopard before I got there. Both hunts were challenging and I got in plenty of walking.
I used a brand new CZ 550 375 H&H as a donor rifle. Sent it to Randy Selby for the conversion. I have a little under $2K in the rifle all in. Shot an elephant with it a month ago and it performed flawlessly.,
The Courtney Selous is my choice. Used them exclusively on my 3 trips to Africa. They were great in the sands of the Limpopo and Kalihari. They were great in the rocky mountains of Zimbabwe. I came down stuff so steep I had to go down on my butt and my Courtneys grabbed the rock like a gecko.
Several days ago I posted a leopard hunt and promised I would give a report on my elephant hunt with Wayne Van Den Bergh, owner of @NYAMAZANA SAFARIS.
After a day of rest we got up and started hunting elephant.
Day 1 - Got up early and headed to the concession. I could tell things were going...
This hunt started on my way to DSC in January 2022 when I saw a thread posted by @NYAMAZANA SAFARIS for a Leopard hunt. I called Wayne Van Den Bergh, owner of Nyamazana Safaris. After asking a few questions I sent him my deposit and secured the trip. So I began for the next five months...
Can only speak for coming back as I checked my bags through to Joberg from Dallas. Coming back when we land in Newark I picks up my checked bag and then went to the area where they check your rifle. They unloaded it there off the plane. They had me open the gun case and they checked the serial...
