Greetings from Texas

Welcome Rick! and Congratulations on your Botswana hunt. Lots of Texans on here.
Good luck on the left handed 416 Rigby. I'm not positive, but I think John Rigby & Co. offers its Big Game rifle in left hand, but it's a special order and not cheap. I have the right hand Big Game 416 Rigby and just returned from a buffalo and plains game hunt in Limpopo province SA, on the border with Botswana.
Thanks Chashardy. I reached out to Rigby and they can't do the LH 416 in the Big Game, but only in London Best - which starts at about 25k pounds. So I will keep looking. But I would certainly like an actual Rigby, if in a lower price bracket.
 
Rick, welcome to the AH forum! Since you enjoy reading the reports, how about writing us one on your Botswana elephant hunt? I for one would enjoy it for sure!
Definitely. I will do that. It was with Kwatale - a great outfitter - I had a great time. Frans and his team did a superb job with everything.

Great advice, thanks Velo. I have checked GI a few times the past few weeks and will continue to stay on it. Appreciate the advice!
 
Welcome and what was your first African hunt?
First was Namibia in 2014 for Leopard. Never saw one or had one on bait - long story. But got some nice plains game and learned some valuable African hunting lessons. Recent trip was much better.
 
Welcome
 
Welcome to the best forum! Enjoy!

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
