Barnes TTSX 180gn for my Winchester 70 30-06. 5 safaris, all plains game up to and including Eland, 1 shot kills, most bang flops.

A very clean and new to me Belgian Made BAR in 30-06.

And another from this past trip. Old boy, Winchester 70 375 H&H w/Trijicon Accupoint 1x6, Barnes 300gn TSX two shots (second for insurance) at 21 big steps. First shot was head on just under the chin into the top of the brisket which took out the heart, he dropped to his knees, and the second...

Welcome to the Forum from Euharlee GA.

There's no crying in baseball.....

I would absolutely cancel any hunt with said outfitter. You might go and have a great hunt, and nothing happen.... then again you might get over there and things go south and now you're at the mercy of the locals. Take it from someone who has worked/traveled out of CONUS for the past 45 years...

Condolences and prayers for the family

Murray Custom Leather, use C1, C2, C3 and C8 belt…..different shell holders for different applications

This past year, while using a 9.3x74r that I got from Andrew62, with 286gn RWS, I had the opportunity on a fine bull. First shot buckled him and he staggered about 5 yards , turning to face me head down splay legged pouring blood from nostrils and mouth from a double lung shot. Second shot to...

I have a Winchester 70 458WM with a Talley mount and a Trijicon RMR on it.......bomb proof.

I have a pair of the Jim Green Rangers and like them a lot. I have several pairs of Courtneys as well. When I first got my Rangers, during the break in, within the first week I had a partial sole separation where some glue was missed during build. Rather than send them back, I took them to my...

Between Green and Red

I use the Courtney’s from African Sporting Creations as well. They are super durable and When I end up having to crawl I will pull them up to cover my knees. Good investment

I have them on all my large caliber rifles and a number of others as well. I'm not so much worried about taking off for tracking/follow up, as all are 1x8's so it's always down on 1 when moving. My reason for QD's is scope malfunction or bad fall and out of zero. I can detach and still be in...

I thought about it too long.....congratulations

The best I've found, currently produced, is the Bass Pro/Cabelas Ripstop Cotton Poplin LS Shirt and Beachcomber Poplin Shorts. $20 a pop and tough. Buy 3 of each and you're done.

If it doesn't go on the one before me, I'll take it. Let me know.....

That's correct for SA. I actually swapped some newer versions of $100's that I brought over for some of the old versions that he had that the SA Bank's wouldn't convert. Prior to the exchange I verified that they were actual tender and not counterfeits. (He had asked me about it prior to coming...

@Tom Leoni, if you get this off the ground and into production please let me know. I would be in the market for both.

Winchester 70 Alaskan 375 H&H with Trijicon 1x6 Accupoint and QD Warne Rings.

My last trip to SA, my duffle/ammo made it, but my rifle stayed behind in Atlanta. First time I've lost either. Good news is my rifle made it in late the next day, but lost a day and a half of hunting due to having to transit back to J'burg to retrieve my rifle.

You can't bring in ammunition without a rifle chambered in that caliber and no ammo without a rifle in general. I.E., if you are temporarily importing a 30-06 to hunt with but are also attempting to bring in a few boxes or 375 H&H for the outfitter you are going to have major issues with the...

No ammo without a rifle

Well said Sir.

I have four 30-06 for different hunting situations here in the US....... three Winchester 70's and a TC Encore. Of the Winchester's one is Featherweight with a 22' for stalking/mountain hunting, one is a Super Grade with a 24" for powerlines/food plots that I've put a B&C stock on to save the...

Trijicon all day long, they are top quality and bomb proof.

Kevin I'm not a Rolex man, but that's sexy right there.

I have taken buffalo with 375 H&H 300gn Barnes TSX (2), 9.3X74R 286gn RWS and 458WM 450gn Barnes TSX. As has been pointed out thoroughly, first shot is critical for success and safety. The only follow up shot I've had to do was with the 375, even though the first shot was a heart shot. He spun...

In Atlanta, where you have to get your 4457 paperwork processed is off airport property across the interstate, you would need to get a cab……bad idea to try to do it day of. What airport are you flying out of? They should have a CBP office there to process your paperwork. Yes you’ll need to have...

Outstanding, very enjoyable.

I hunt with a Contender with a 14" 30-30 barrel often, topped with a 1-4 Burris scope. I also use a Contender in 44mag with a 10", Encore in 30-06 with 14" and a Ruger Blackhawk Hunter in 44mag with a 10". I've taken Whitetail, Mule deer, Axis, Hogs, Javelina, Blackbuck, various feral and exotic...

Too Late @rookhawk did you have the construction completed in Africa or in the locally

Here's another one for you @BRICKBURN. They sent me an email over the weekend and I reported it.

@Mark Biggerstaff I’ll take 2. PM for payment instructions, thanks Chuck.

In Africa my PH's have carried the following, Winchester 70 375 H&H, Winchester 70 458 WM, Merkel 88 450NE, Mauser 98 9.3x62......all iron sights

I use a "Buck Boiler" with some Dawn dish soap for all my euro/skulls. It doesn't make the bone brittle like standard over boiling can do.

Trijicon Accupoint 1x6 with the green dot. I've got that LVPO on my Winchester 375 H&H and 458WM both and have taken two cape buffalo and numerous bears with this setup. I use Trijicon products daily and bet my life on them, they're bomb proof.

As unfortunate as it is, I'd be hard pressed to even bid on this, even if it sold for a $1000. Too many issues........

Welcome from NW Ga!

Please don’t use anything Leapers for a DG weapon. I prefer Warren but Talley is also excellent. A couple of ounces is worth it for quality.

Welcome Dave

Very nice

I have never seen an individual more contrary and uppity than @Ontario Hunter. He is the self-proclaimed expert on anything he pontificates and is the smartest man in the room anywhere he goes. It must be a burden to be that all knowing......but who are we to question his vast knowledge as we...
