New Trophy Room Only 12 X 18 Feet

I love reading about small trophy rooms. Here is mine. I just got back my animals from my second Safari and got them up. My office/trophy room is only 12 X 18 feet yet I got 7 animals including a large Cape Buffalo plus my Zebra rug in complete with my pictures. It can be done and yes I can still work in my office and notice the reloading area where I do all of mine without any problem. I place my powder loading on my office desk otherwise I just use the small corner table you see. All my reloading supplies are in the chest you see. My gun safe sits directly behind me. It all works and gives me great joy!

Nice! And there is still room for some buff skulls.
 
This is awesome and very helpful in planning my trophy setup for my office! Your trophies look awesome and you've definitely made my decision to wall pedestal my nyala a very easy decision.
 
@Rare Breed, do you mind sharing a frontal picture of your Nyala?

Thank you! I have one at Gismo, and I’m trying to get ideas. Beautiful!

Looks really nice
 
Nice job but that first pic of impala and buff, they all looked skewed. Is that just the angle of the pic taken?
 
You have taken some exceptional trophies, and displayed them very nicely. You should be justifiably proud of both accomplishments..................FWB

Thank you everyone for all your kind words! All of you inspire me! Without all of you I would not have Africa!
 
Nice office Rare Breed. Any space with a buff mount is awesome!
 
I admit I’m not overly familiar with African animals yet, but that’s the prettiest buffalo mount I’ve ever seen.
 
@Rare Breed (or anyone):
How far out from the wall does the Cape Buff / Wall Pedestal mount stick out?
It "looks like" it's a good way to save some space, but hard to tell from a picture.

Guessing a typical buff shoulder mount protrudes ~3.5 feet?

2.8 to be exact which makes it work
 
STUNNING room!! I've never been to Africa, but I hope to be able to go someday before the world goes completely crazy!! Although it's almost there.. Thanks for sharing! I'd love to get a beautiful Sable Antelope, Kudu, and a few other species.

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!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

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
