Dang, a little too slow today. Great deal on some great ammo. Congrats to buyer and seller.

Great rifle in a great caliber for Africa and anywhere else. You also won't find a better AHer to deal with. I have purchased several items from @Mark Biggerstaff over the years and have always had great transactions. GLWS

This x 2. @Mark Biggerstaff is wise and correct on this and many other things. This is the scope I have on my 416 Rem, two 375 H&H and a 9.3x62. Have served me very well.

If you can find Barnes, Flat nosed solids, they work great. I have used them out of a 404 Jeffery on an on-land hippo and out of a 416 Rem on a side brain on an elephant at 15 yards, clean pass through on the elephant, the ones recovered out of the hippo looked as if they could have been...

I’ve shot the 180 grain sirroccos, loaded by Remington out of one of my 30-06s. I’ve only shot whitetail deer and hogs with this combo. Absolutely devastating on both. I would hesitate to use them on PG in Africa and any thing up to elk or moose here in North America.

Had a great transaction with @Altitude sickness. Sold him a box of ammo and he got payment right out to me. Would do business with him again.

Good luck on your safari. Hopefully you get a crack at your leopard.

Not alot if the DG calibers to be found in LH model 70s and CZ550s. Winchester only ever made 375 H&Hs from the factory. Anything bigger came from the custom shop or was built on another action aftermarket. I have spent lots of time and dollars putting together a group of left handed model 70s...

Guav Johnson Mike Fell Buzz Charlton Peter Chipman Jeff Rann Jason Russo Duckworth brothers These gentlemen all come to mind. Having never hunted with any of them myself, it would be impossible for me to say which 4 it should be. I would love to hunt with each of them.

Left handed, 416 Rem built on a Winchester M70. Last year in Namibia for buff and elephant.

Bass fillet sandwich, pickled okra and fried green matter with pimento cheese on it. It was tasty for sure.

I am a big fan of euro/skull only mounts. I am looking forward to the ones I still have in Africa and hope to get back some time later this year. There are a couple of bufflao, a kudu, bushbuck, impala, blue WB, red HB a baboon. Here are the ones I’ve already have. Lots of deer from home, brown...

Blackened red grouper tacos. Hit the spot.

I hunted out of this camp last year. It’s in Kabulabula, I think that is how you spell it. Very open flood plain area on the chobe river, right across from Chobe NP in Botswana. I had a fantastic hunt there. Congrats to the OP on a couple of great buffalo.

I grew up and learned how to shoot on a right handed bolt action rifle but once I was able to afford my own left handed rifle, I have only bought left handed rifles for myself. Currently, all of my hunting rifles are left handed. I have 13 left handed Winchester Model 70s, 3 left handed Ruger...

Glad it worked out with all your gear being in Edmonton. Hope you have a great hunt. I look forward to reading all about it. Thanks for sharing.

I am with @LivingTheDream, I’ve heard it more times than I can count. If it’s from somebody who actually hunts my answer is “It is, let me know when you’re ready to go and I’ll help you make a plan.” If it’s from a non-hunter, my answer is “ it sure is” and I leave it at that. I know what I do...

All are good bullets. Which shoots best in your rifle? I prefer the Accubonds.

@JHT, those look great. Looking forward to hearing how your upcoming hunt goes.

I had a similar experience last year with the same bullet out of my 300 Win as well. Blue wildebeest and a red heartabeast. Preformed flawlessly.

Ammo is SPF. Thanks

Pork chop, okra & maters over rice and corn on the cob for supper tonight. It wasn’t terrible.

I have had a pair of leica geovid for a couple of years now and have taken them to Africa 3 time, Alaska once and Utah once on hunts and they have worked great. I sue them all the time deer and pig hunting here at home as well.

An oryx in Namibia in 2009. An old, heavy bull with a broken horn tip on one side. Shot him with a 300 Win at about 100 yards. Was shooting 200 grain TBBCs, loaded by Federal. One shot and done. That Browning rifle and those cartridges served me very well for many years. Only rifle I’ve ever...

Best athlete I’d say Bo Jackson. Best competitor in their chosen sports, Joe Montana, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Derek Jeter, Greg Madux. These are some to come to mind. Obviously I am biased based on my age and who I watched regularly growing up.

Another vote for the Leupold VX5 3-15 firedot. I have those on most all my rifles.

That’s what we call them too is bee liners. You’re correct, they are as good if not better than the snapper. More liberal size and bag limits as well.

Yes sir. A mix of those and American red snapper.

What a great idea to put this type of hunt together. Congrats to all who participated and organized such a successful safari.

Turned these into a few good meals last week. Blackened and fried. A nice pasta salad as a side.

Deal with confidence, @Mark Biggerstaff is a true gentleman to conduct business with.

I use this cartridge slide along with a knife and leather man. Had worked very well for me

@Tanks, I agree on the left handed shirts, well made, fit well and love them as well.

@rookhawk, thanks for doing this. Should be helpful in screening out some of the scammers.

I’ve never been to the Eastern Cape of RSA. I need to remedy that at some point. Looking forward to your report.

Another vote for CitiLodge. I’ve stayed there on 6 of my 7 trips. As previously mentioned, convenient, rooms are clean and the food is good.

I have contemplated this several times, especially here lately. The first thing I would have done 30 years ago would be to buy left handed model 70s when they were being produced in each long action they made, 270 Win, 30-06, 7 Rem Mag, 300 Win, 338 Win and 375 H&H in the Safari Classic...

Great looking stocks. GLWS

That is beautiful wood and even better craftsmanship. What a wonderful piece of functional art. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you made it home safe. Hope you can get some rest and start to feel better.

Great write up. Wonderful animals taken by all. Appreciate you taking the time to share with us.

These are fantastic bullets. I used them on an on land hippo in 2023 and one of the recovered bullets looked like it could have been cleaned up and reloaded. If I was still in the 404 Jeffery game, I'd be all over these. I use these in .416 in my 416 Rem and they performed flawlessly last year...

FANTASTIC!! Congrats on such a well earned elephant. A true hunt of a lifetime.

Congrats on your hippo. Sounds like you’re having a true adventure safari. That walking is serious when after an elephant. Keeping the right mindset, adapting as best you can and having a great team is all you can do and you certainly seem to be doing that. Looking forward to seeing how it...
