How many hunters do you have booked before my trip? What is the comms situation? Sat phone needed? WiFi?

Still have this?

I like the .375. I also like .416 Rigby. I’ve had Buffalo die with one shot with .375 and Buffalo not even flinch with a .416. Depends on the Buffalo and shot placement. But bigger is generally better if the shooter can shoot. Not much of an argument there.

I reread this post. I once had a 7 mm rem mag- not a big gun by any standards - wood stock so heavy enough - that kicked harder than anything I have ever shot, including 3.5 12 gauge and big bore rifles. Instant headache. I got rid of it after 1 session at the range. Just brainstorming...

I’m in Fort Worth

Still have this?

If it’s hitting you that hard it’s either the gun fit or technique. I can shoot my .416 Rigby over and over. No headache, no sore shoulder, nothing. I weigh 175 lbs.

Still for sale or long gone?

Fantastic gun.

I’m a fan of two sticks/bipod for dangerous game. Quicker to get on and off them. If you are hunting South Africa with longer shots a tripod will be more stable.

Yep. Crazy. As mentioned below, I have hunted this same area with the PH involved. Anyone who has DG hunting experience should know this can and does happen - fortunately rarely - with experienced PHs and hunters. We should all pay our respects and keep speculation and non-relevant opinions...

Mini is a PH. Lives in Tanzania and hunts Uganda and Tanzania. I hunted with Mini is this same area in Uganda last Feb. He is an excellent PH. Prayers for all involved.

Thank you!

Just returned from Uganda. While shooting, a 1/8” deep egg shaped portion of the stock detached just behind the bolt. Gun had been shot many times before. Unfortunately I didn’t notice the damage at the time and therefore don’t have the missing piece. Any recommendations for a stock...

Some better pics of the receiver and closeups to assess condition would be appreciated. Thx.

I just spoke with the Seller and he advised that this gun has sold.

Gorgeous rifle. Congrats!

Great info. Looking into this myself.

Dang. Just got back or I would snap this up.

Keep ‘em coming! I’ve wanted to do this hunt for so long. Good luck!

…and bipod instead of tripod.

Jim’s (African Sporting Creations) sticks are great. I’ve purchased two sets. I’ve also gone to Home Depot and purchased wooden dowels and made my own. Jim’s are hands down better (smaller diameter, break down etc) and the wood has character.

My condolences.

Red dot/illuminated for sure.

Gorgeous rifle.

Chris Sells in Dallas will take care of you on the Heym.

Excellent!

Excellent buffalo. Shot my first buffalo in the Omay in 2009 and would love to go back. Animal numbers good?

Highly recommend free range area if hunting buffalo. And definitely be mentally prepared to receive a large final bill after the hunt for dip, pack, ship, additional trophy fees, game scout, etc. etc.

Agree on all counts. Have done all three - delta, emirates and Qatar. Qatar currently seems to have the best / most efficient schedule out of DFW, as you land in Harare around noon and have plenty of time to charter out to final destination. Doha airport is great. Doha itself isn’t (got...

Beautiful

I bought the 416 today. Nice gun and as represented. I did not see the other two guns available but I am very pleased with this one and the transaction was easy.

Would you mind texting me a couple of close up pics of the dings? Thx!

I sent you a PM. Thx.

Do you still have it?

Sorry - Ben is in Houston.

Ben Cromeans at Tri-State Taxidermy did my last Africa round, including some one-off stuff that turned out awesome. He’s great for African game. Been there many times himself.
