I can Highly recommend Tsala Hunting Safaris! I will be leaving on June 1st for my second Buffalo hunt with them!

Just wondering if any other members will be on the same flight as My brother and I?

My brother and I are wheels up June 1st.

We will be coming back from South Africa on the 11th!

My Brother and I are wheels up on June first! We will be hunting near Thabazimbi in Limpopo province, Buffalo is the main target with Kudu and Elan on the list!

404 Jeffrey has entered the chat.

We are coming home on the 10th.

So to all of you that are going to South Africa in June on Delta what day are you wheels up? My brother and I leave June 1st. Just curious how many AH members might be on the same flight.

If we're mine I would probably build into a 404 Jeffrey.

470 Capstick!

My brother and I bought our Delta premium economy + tickets late July last year. We paid $6,600 for the tickets. Now when I look those tickets are selling for over $9,000! I've been wanting to up grade my ticket to Delta one, but they want $4,700 just for the upgrade one way from Atlanta to...

YOU dog! LOL! i was really thinking of buying that rifle! The only thing that held me back is the Cape Buffalo hunt I have in June and not knowing how much money I'm going to spend on plains game!

I bought one of those and added the Alaskan arms +2 extended floor plate, really like it so far! If Ruger made this same rifle in 458 winchester magnum and added a barrel band sling mount I would order one as fast as I could get my bank card out!

My dream rifle except mine would be in 577 Nitro! Maybe I'll win the lottery someday!

I'm hoping they build it in 404 Jeffrey!

My Brother just did his 4457 at the Sacramento office, he said it went smoothly!

If things go right it will be a 416 Remington magnum and a 400 grain Swift A-frame. In fact if it wasn't for me wanting to kill a Buffalo with my 470 double, I would just take the 416 as a one gun safari rifle!

I did Gun and Trophy insurance and it was a little over $200 for $60,000 in coverage for one year.

When I went in 2024 I had my Chapuis Elan 470 Nitro and a Dakota 76 416 Remington magnum in the pelican case and I had no problems! Bruce had all my paper work ready when I got to the SAPS office. Gracy Travel had one of thier employees greet us as soon as we got off the plane and escorted us...

Use a travel agent like Gracy Travel and have them help you do the paperwork and thier man Bruce in South Africa will make everything go smoothly! Also buy Firearms insurance that covers theft or loss during travel and travel worry free!

I talk to JJ and he said that there are absolutely no problems dry firing the Chapuis with quality aluminum snap caps from places like NECG!

Parkwest Arms SD 76 Dark Continent with upgraded wood chambered in 404 Jeffrey!

For those of you who have loaded this combination, does 72 grains of H4895 seem like a good starting load for the 470 Capstick and the 500 grain Barnes TSX bullet? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Got my rifle back! Hopefully it shoots as good as it looks!

I'll send you a PM before I leave for work tomorrow.

This year it will either be; Winchester mod 70 470 Capstick and Winchester mod 70 Stainless 375 H&H Or the Chapuis Elon 470 Nitro and Winchester mod 70 Stainless 375 H&h Or the Dakota 76 416 Remington mag and Remington mod 700 358 Norma mag! But the Ruger Alaskan Bush rifle in 9.3x62 might warm...

I need a New England Custom Guns front sight hood part is Masterpiece ramped Banded front sight hood R106! If you have a extra one you wouldn't mind selling I would be interested.

Jeb Brooks a you tube travel content creator did a Video of the exact trip you described! The wife and I actually are thinking about doing the trip when I retire!

We come to this forum to learn about Africa and African hunting, please keep your political opinions to yourself! Know one wants to here them, there are other places you can do that! Thank you!

Delta has even been higher then that. Right now they want almost $5,000 for a upgrade from premium select to Delta One for just the flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg!

Let's keep politics out of this forum!

Delta just did the same to me, they changed the times on my return flights! I now have a short layover of one hour for my Minneapolis to Fargo flight.

Genus Logistics imported my trophies from my 2024 Safari. They did a great job everything went very smoothly!

Didn't Mark Sullivan buy Cal's 600?

Ruger Alaskan Bush rifle, 9.3x62, Winchester mod 70 Stainless Classic 375 H&H, Kimber Caprivi 375 H&H, Winchester mod 70 Safari Express 416 Rem mag, Ruger No1 416 Rem mag, Winchester mod 70 Super Express Classic 416 Rem mag, Dakota 76 416 Rem mag, Chapuis Elon 470 Nitro, and a Custom Winchester...

I've heard of people using a shortened Remington 700 Short Action extra power springs. They say to cut them to the same length as your factory springs and install.

No they don't, the new models use a shorter spring.

I have the same setup, seems to shot well.

I can highly recommend Tsala Hunting Safaris. Also I would book a Buffalo hunt sooner rather then latter, prices are only going to go up in the future!

Done!

I can second what Rare Breed said, I hunted with them in 2024 and I will be going back this June!

You should check out Tsala Hunting Safaris, they can provide everything on your list!

I've been checking with different stock makers and form what I've learned you can expect to pay $6,000+ cost of the blank! That's if you want a full blown custom stock for a large caliber rifle.

Give George at Champlin arms and call and he can answer any questions you may have about the Chapuis!

I'd like to see them make the No1 in 450/400 again! Also a African with quarter rib and drop box would require me to spend some money!

Find a used Chapuis Elon 470 Nitro, they are really nice rifles! You won't be disappointed with them!

That would be great!

Just got a notification that Swift has 375 H&H 300 Swift A-frame loaded ammo in stock!

You won't go wrong hunting with Tsala Hunting Safaris!
