<60 days away from Zimbabwe

At present:

A 318 Westley for a primary

A vintage 375 as a backup

And a side by side 12 bore for the sand grouse

If I find out tuskless is on the menu I may try out the unused .404 I was going to sell in lieu of bringing the 375.


Here is the .318 Westley Richards Take Down. It recently had custom claw mounts applied for a quick detach scope arrangement. As you'll see, it requires a rather unique mount with an offset front ring on account that it is a take down and thus you can't put a saddle on the barrel. You cannot put a standard front mount island on the ring either as the height will block the iron sights.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
