Most of the time there are more wishes than money and/or time. Would say that's the most challenging parts 1-5 ‍

Oh man, you owe that old bastard a lot of money and probably slept with his two daughters at the same time... Look at this face starring at you... I would walk a lot to get close to him...

The buffalo on my profile picture has 40 and 1/2 ". Would I consider it a bad trophy it would only have 38" - no way I would. Would have shot that old fella no matter which size. It was a hell of a hunt, I don't care about the inches, it's the experience that counts.

There is "one more" which should be finished in approximately 14 to 16 month. I ordered it in September 2025. It's a single shot rifle... After that I am done (at least that's what I told my wife)

I can't believe I'm the first one voting for the .404 Jeff... What's wrong with you :)

No That's the new rifle from Walther There are already some pictures in different forums. Should be presented at the "Jagd und Hund 2026"

Price is above 100.000€ without engraving... A very nice piece of craftsmanship indeed...

Limpopo in August. Had a Cap cobra that chose the space between my legs as the direction for the escape. I was just walking as the 3rd person after the PH and the tracker. Kneehigh grass with some rocks to step over. PH saw it first, yelled "snake" while I was taking my next step I froze my...

I am a Kahles guy... no matter which rifle, put a Kahles on it and enjoy hunting. Made in Austria, never had an issue with one of mine... (and yes, it might be said with some proud of an Austrian )

My first shot on the African continent on an animal killed a very nice buffalo. The essential part of the story with pictures is written down here on AH https://www.africahunting.com/threads/south-africa-back-from-a-wonderful-journey-a-great-hunt-with-wayne-wagner-safaris.85371/

It is more a general type of book. There are no blue prints in it (if I remember correctly). But of course it contains the basics of building weapons...

That's one of the books used in Ferlach

A .270WIN will kill any boar in Hungary... with a proper shot placement of course...

I would be very interested in ordering the book too...

That's the boar I shot last year in Hungary...

Hi You can always get in touch with https://blaser-safaris.com/ Tell them your wishes and they will make you an offer of your desired hunt. We are using them as our outfitter for nearly 10 years. We never had any issues, no matter if hunting in Hungary, Czech Republic, Scotland or Africa...

Mine is not fully checkered. It's cut out and checkered on the bottom

As some have already stated, I am using only Barnes TSX for Buffalo. So no solids in the pouch... I have 4 in the rifle and another 7 in the pouch. There is a superstition in Austria that you should only carry an odd number of bullets and of course never 13... But there is more ammo in the...

That would be this "let him decide how he wants to die" bullshit, am I right?

Birthday present for me, myself and I :)

I am totally lost, if I see an original Mauser 98 with matching numbers all over the stock and the action and made between 1904 and 1945... that's most of the time a "shut up and take my money" situation. Last month I was able to get my hands on a Farsi Mauser in like new condition... Up to...

235gr Barnes TSX with the Reload Swiss RS60 79,5 grain and OAL 90,5mm I don't know which pendant to the RS60 is available in the US

Yes, we are the ones with the alps and the snow, but all without the kangaroos

Please let me clarify that Kahles and Swarovski are Austrian products

I have the same rifle and got myself a Kahles 1,6-8x42. I love that combo https://www.kahles.at/en/hunt/riflescopes/helia-1_6-8x42i

Oh, it does. I cuddle with mine almost every day... Got 4 of them, so a lot of love is given I would like to add the 8x64S like some of you already mentioned. Nearly dead, but what a great cartridge it is...

A single word and not much more - "Jeffery", "Jeffery 4-0-4"

Another Barnes man here :) I am using 235gr, 270gr and 300gr Barnes TSX for my Winchester 70 in .375H&H Depending on the game I am hunting only the bulletweight changes. But the gun is always fueled with a reloaded Barnes TSX

striving for those points... there you go Already mounted is a Meopta R1 1-4x22

No, obviously there is no relevant market share

Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom

Which is good or bad? Sorry for the maybe stupid question. As an Austrian I am much more into Mauser rifles and their history than Winchester... I might be able to buy this rifle nonetheless. And AFAIK no more Safari Express rifles will be delivered to Europe in .375H&H. So I guess I will...

Hi A question please to all you forum members Is there any info available where and when a Win 70 Safari Express in .375H&H was built, when the serial number is 35GZN047xx ? Thank you in advance for your help

Go for it

Yes, I am using shm brass in different calibers like 8x64S, 8x57 and .375 H&H... You can order "selection" brass which is +/- 1 grain in weight. Very good quality and very good customer service.

No, there are very different offers. There are several larger properties with self sustaining herds. There are a lot of great offers on this site on a regular basis.

I fully agree and can only refer to my hunt in RSA where I ran miles and miles to get spooked and spooked again... it felt quite real beeing in the bush, sweating, getting tortured by thorns, mosquitoes and other creatures. My PH just said on day 4: "after this day you really can say you have...

Hi I would strongly recommend to buy and read this book at least two or three times. Most of your questions will be answered (and some of them you don't even know of right now too ) https://www.amazon.com/Africas-Dangerous-photographs-Catherine-Robertson/dp/1571572775 I hunted my first buff...

Voere is located in Kufstein, Austria. They are manufacturing tactical and hunting rifles for a reasonable price. https://www.voere-shop.com/en-gb/shop/ Quality itself is pretty good for that price range.

After some months of reminiscing I would like to add two more chapters to this magnificent hunt. Due to very, very much luck I managed to collect two other trophies. An old Impala we saw grazing in a clearing all alone while driving down a hill. We were able to come close and the shot was at...

Most difficult shot ever taken was in Scotland at a red stag. No way to get closer, pouring rain, strong wind and about 300 yards to go. The PH handed me his Tikka T3 in .270Win with a Nightforce scope, told me where to aim and wished me good luck. The first shot hit the stag right behind the...

I love the fine reticle of the Kahles scopes. Shot my buffalo with a Helia 1-5

8x68 -> you won't need a 7x64 and another 9,3x62 Or a 8x64S and a 9,3x64

That is the exact reason why I decided to also get the Swarovski Companion CL in 8x30 and the Swarovski Harness for stalking. Both worked great since I have them.

As an Austrian I have to mention Kahles. Excellent quality for a reasonable price https://www.kahles.at/en/hunt/binoculars/

I am sorry... but...

As an Austrian I have to fulfil my duty: Bösendorfer is an Austrian company located in Vienna

This is the TSX which broke the opposite shoulder of my buffalo at approx 40m It's a 400gr .422 bullet aka .404 Jeffery. It's a reloaded bullet with approx 2300fps. The buff went 25m and was down bellowing. The Barnes did all the work I could have asked for. So I wouldn't change anything for...
