Hello from Germany

Welcome to AH !
 
Herzlichster Empfang. Deutschland ist ein wunderschönes Land. Welches Kaliber hat Ihr Remington Modell 700 ? Ich benutze eine in .375 Holland & Holland Magnum.
This one is in 308 Win.
The most logical choice in this area.

Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome Phil from Michigan, USA.
 
Welcome aboard Phil. Hunters from all over the world gather on this site to share their knowledge and experiences. If you ever had thoughts of hunting Africa the enablers here will do their best to convince you that going sooner rather than later would be in your best interest. I have a BRNO Super in 12 Ga. and 7 X 65R. My Drilling was built in 1913 and "liberated" by my father in 1945. There isn't any "brand name" on the firearm so I'm guessing it is just a GUILD gun. My current project is a BRNO VZ -24 in 8mm Mauser. I know that you will enjoy the time you spend with us.

Me too!! That is why I've only gone on Plains Game hunts. On occasion, one or more of the outfitters offers a "cull" hunt and or a female Cape Buffalo. Keep your eyes open for these types of deals.
 
This forum ist the perfect source to get in touch with reliable outfitters who can create an affordable hunt. After being in Zimbabwe for two times I started a request here for future options and I now already booked the second hunt with the PH I met as a result to this request.
It’s worth trying!

Welcome to AH! Glad to have you on board.
 
Hello there,

Have read a few times here and there and was always happy with the content.

So i decided to participate.

To my person.
Turned 40 few days ago.
Startet hunting as a little kid, prefer classic rifles over modern ones, enjoy most kinds of shooting sports, grown up with a shotgun and bird and rabbit hunting and turned to boar and red stag in 2010.

Took my first red stag with iron sights in broad daylight sitting in a tree, with an old Mauser 98 i started as a kid with.

Friend who taught me how to shoot and hunt handed this rifle to me after passing my hunting exam.
Sadly gunsmith ruined the rifle.

Used to be accurate with a Handgun.
4 years in the infantry and now building my house on the countryside.

Current longguns is a supressed Rem 700 and a Krieghoff Drilling in 7x65R and 12ga& 22Hornet insert.

Looking forward to this forum

Cheers
Phil

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci
Philippe

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS FOR MY RIFLE, ALWAYS APPROACH A NEW LOAD CAUTIOUSLY!!*
Rifle is a Pierce long action, 32" 1:8.5 twist Swan{Au} barrel
{You will want a 1:8.5 to run the heavies but can get away with a 1:9}
Peterson .280AI brass, CCI 200 primers, 56.5gr of 4831SC, 184gr Berger Hybrid.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
