I had a .416 400grain A-Frame do the same thing on almost exact same shot placement, bullet exited and the bull was dead in less 30 seconds. No death bellow, the bull was shot through the heart and I believe the only bones the bullet hit were ribs!
It's nice to know Cal's 600 nitro went to someone who will use it for what was built for. Thankfully it's not sitting in someone's collection were it would never be used!
I am looking for Winchester mod 70 classic stainless 375 H&H magazine and follower. My brother bought the rifle a few years ago for a future Cape Buffalo hunt, and while i was mounting the scope, I discovered the rifle is not feeding right, and the last round pops out of the magazine. I have the...
Let us know what you find out, I am planning on on using African legacy logistics to keep things simple. I am going to be using Genius logistics for my importer.
I ordered a Winchester mod 70 safari express 416 Remington magnum 2 1/2 years ago and finally received it in April 2025, when I ordered it they said it would ship in about 3 months! Hopefully you'll get yours in October, of this year!
That model was known as the Super Express (push feed) and Classic Super Express (Pre 64 style action)! I have a Classic Super Express in 416 remington magnum and I personally think it's a better handling rifle then the current Safari Express, I have one of those also!
If you like the rifle use it! On my first trip to South Africa last year I used my Dakota 76 416 Remington magnum for Cape Buffalo, Sable, Zebra, and Impala. I wouldn't hesitate to use it again on my hunt next year for Buffalo, kudu. And whatever else Africa provides!
If it was completely safe, it wouldn't be any fun!
One of the reasons Buffalo hunting is so addictive!!!
The wife and I were there last June felt safe the whole time, except for the traffic in Johannesburg! Traffic laws are only a suggestion there!
And the picture really doesn't do him justice! He lost a little bit off his boss during the cleaning process but, Bullseye taxidermy said they were going to rebuild it!
In my humble opinion, the best dangerous game scope Leupold has ever offered! The only thing they they could have done better with this scope would have been to have offered it with a German no 4 reticle! To bad they discontinued it in favor of a more complicated and expensive scope!
I guess I'll find out in July, Bulls Eye Taxidermy is working on my trophies now. One Cape Buffalo pedestal, 1 Sable shoulder, 1 Nyala wall pedestal, 1 impala European, 1 Gemsbuck European, and 1 Zebra ruge.
Call George at Champlin Arms and ask him what he thinks of them. George and JJ wouldn't offer a lifetime guarantee on the rifle if they weren't quality firearms!
Honestly I think your looking at the wrong customers for a sub $10k double. I would market it as a PH model chambered in your already existing calibers. The people that can afford a $10K rifle can afford a African safari but may not want a very expensive double to hunt with. They would be...
If you live in the northern states like I do (North Dakota), when the temperature falls below 0, I set my mounts in my unheated garage for a few days. The cold will kill anything that might be living in them, then I spray with a treatment my taxidermist gave me. Then I bring them back into the...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the 470 and 500 nitro have the same rim diameter? I thought they bought used the same base cartridge, I could be wrong though.
Beautiful trophies, did Bullseye taxidermy do the work for you? Tsala Hunting Safaris does a great job, infact my brother and I are going back in 2026 for Buffalo!
