Lots of great buffalo in the area. This is a great deal, hopefully on of our members can take advantage of the opportunity.

I have a 2-10 on my 416 Rem and love it. Not sure your intended use for your rifle but it’s capable of some longer shots and for me the extra magnification really helps and 2 power at the lower end provides plenty FOV for me. YMMV

I was in Namibia last year and it wasn’t long after they started their new visa requirements. I just did like @Doug3006 did, got a basic letter from my bank on their letterhead and that sufficed. No personal info on there except my name and DOB, which they have already on my passport.

Quite a start to your adventure. Appreciate you taking the time to share. Looking forward to reading the rest.

Weekend price drop to $2,500, shipped and insured from my FFL to yours. I’ll leave it here exclusively for a few days at this price then I’ll list it elsewhere as well as leaving it listed here. Thanks for looking.

I plan on using 260 grain Accubonds on my lion hunt next year.

I prefer long pants. I am used to dealing with the heat here at home during the summer and wear long pants working on the farm. Usually running a chainsaw, weed eater, etc….. I get enough scratches and cuts accidentally, I don’t need to invite them by wearing shorts in the thorns and briars...

Can’t help with the 416 Rigby ammo but I can vouch for @etsonaut as a true and honest gentlemen to do business with. Don’t hesitate, deal with confidence if you have some 416 Rigby ammo to sell.

I’ve been fortunate enough to hunt elk on 2 different occasions. I was able to kill 6x6 bulls on both hunts. Both were guided in New Mexico, one on public and the other on private land. Both were great hunts but I don’t really have a burning desire to go and hunt another one. Right now I’d...

Can’t go wrong with a 375 H&H.

Fantastic looking rifle. GLWS

Having never had a 338, what grain bullets and what type of MV should I be looking for?

I actually have a 338 barrel off of a different Model 70 that is either 24 or 26 inches long. I might have my gunsmith just swap barrels. Another good idea to consider.

I just got out of the 404J game a couple of months ago. I think I’m settled on my 416Rem for my go to DG rifle. Hadn’t thought of suppressing the rifle. I’ve never owned a suppressor. Now I’ve got something else to consider.

I have a left handed model 70 is 7 Rem Mag that I am considering trying to sell. It’s a real nice looking rifle with a little higher grade wood and gold inlay on the Winchester , caliber markings and made in New Haven engraving.

@Charles.Williams04, not really looking for trades at the moment. Appreciate the interest though.

I have recently come into possession of a 338 Win rifle. It’s a left handed model 70. It’s a stainless version that has had some work done to it before I got it. It was in a smallish aftermarket stock, which I have already changed out. Then barrel has been shortened to 19 inches. I haven’t shot...

Stay away and report whoever sent you the message to the mods. Good luck on finding what you are looking for.

@DaleGribble82 was a pleasure to deal with. Scope shipped quickly and well packaged. Deal with confidence.

Here is my LH Model 70 in 375H&H. I use it quite frequently deer and pig hunting here at home. I have also taken kudu and impala. This is one of my favorite cartridges.

Welcome aboard from a fellow lefty. Congrats on planning your first African safari. Lots of good and knowledgeable folks here.

Not the best pic but you get the idea. I had hoped to get out and shoot some this weekend but that didn’t happen so these are the best I can do for pictures now. Next time I get this rifle out to the range, I’ll take some better pictures in the sunlight.

@Mark Biggerstaff, I know you’re getting excited for your upcoming safari. I’m pumped for you and am looking forward to hearing all about it. For anybody who might be on that flight, don’t miss out on an opportunity to visit with a true gentleman. Mark is a great dude and I consider him a friend.

Weekend bump. I’ll leave here exclusively for another week then I will list it elsewhere as well. Thanks for looking.

I’ll be glad to take a couple this weekend and post them up. Was planning on doing a bit of shooting this weekend anyway.

I have one built on a Winchester model 70 and it is a great rifle. If you can find one in 30-06 or 270 that would be a good donor rifle for this type of build.

Bump

I appreciate the interest in the rifle. All PMs have been answered. Thanks for looking.

I’ve been asked about the feeding and cycling of this rifle since some CZ 550s have issues in this area. I will say the bolt can feel a bit “sticky” at times but not all the time. It picks up, feeds and ejects spent brass without problems. I’d be glad to send anybody who is interested a short...

Good morning fellow AHers. I have acquired a LH CZ 550, chambered in 375 H&H. I considered sending it to Matrix for a makeover but upon further review I’ve decided that the two 375H&Hs I currently own are sufficient for my 375 needs. The rifle is in good shape, weighs 9 pounds 10 oz and has a...

I’ve used the following grains and calibers on southern whitetail deer and feral hogs with great effect. 117 grain 25-06 130 grain 270 Win 180 grain 30-06 200 grain 35 Whelen I’ve probably shot 50 or so animals with these 4 set ups and all have preformed well. That 35 Whelen load is...

There is one listed on one of the auction sites right now with a starting minimum bid of $1,000, which seems about right. Most of the ones I have seen sold over the last year have been in that $1,000-$1,500 range. Limited availability of factory ammo has been a draw back for some folks who do...

I love their rifle slings. I have several of them.

Leopard in 2011 Buffalo in 2022,2024 and 2025 Hippo in 2023 Elephant in 2025 Lion booked in the Omay with Dalton&York in 2027 If I am able to kill a lion then I will figure something out on a rhino and croc. Not really interested in those two unless I have the lion and if i am at 4 out of 5 and...

@Tanks, which concession/outfitter? I’ve really enjoyed both of buffalo hunts in the Caprivi.

Congrats Scott on a great adventure and a wonderful bear to remember it all by. Thanks for taking the time to share.

I have had great success with swift a frames out of a 30-06, 458 Win, 416 Rem and 375 H&H. All preformed flawlessly on buffalo and PG. I have used TBBC on a big brown bear and they also worked great. As far as solids go, I am a big believer in the Barnes flat nosed solids. Those have preformed...

I’ll take the VX5 3-15. PM inbound

This what I plan on using next year on my lion hunt. I am planning on using the 260 grain version. What grain did you use @Beck?

This is gonna be good!!

Depends what is more important to you, the experience or the result/trophy. I have only hunted a non-trophy elephant and the experience was the most exciting/exhilarating 2 minutes of my hunting life, after 5 days of the most difficult and arduous hunting I’ve ever done. I would certainly love...

Nice LH rifle. I have a M77, Mark II, LH in 26-06 as well and it’s a fantastic rifle. Shoots great and the 25-06 is a great chamberings. GLWS

My hope would be that when I become a liability instead of an asset on any hunt that I would have the self awareness to pull the plug on that and any future DG hunts or any hunts for that matter. If I am not self aware, hopefully the PH will have that conversation with me then. My desire to...

I need a couple as well so I am following along.

Bummer this didn’t work out. Somebody missed out on a great scope. Back to the top for a great scope and better seller.

Welcome aboard. Some beautiful looking knives.

For tracking all day in the sun, you can’t go wrong with a boonie style hat.

Fantastic eland. I am very interested in your pursuit of the bushbuck slam. That has to be one of the best "slams" available in all of Africa. I look forward to hearing about the rest of your trip. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Based on reading this thread the first thing that comes to my mind is how fortunate I am to have been able to do some of the NA hunting I've done, before it got so outrageously expensive. All of the hunts I would consider still "dreams" for me in NA are in order. 1. Mountain Lion. I've been...
