I am helping my hunting partner locate his first DG rifle. We spent a couple days at the SCI convention talking to a bunch of folks including but not limited to Duke at Gulf Breeze. We have a buff hunt in Tanzania in October and he has set his heart on a 416 (rigby or rem mag) but open to different makes with a budget topping out at about 7K. I am still new here on this forum but thought I would ask on his behalf as he seems to be a bit low on budget for a Dakota but is having a difficult time sourcing the elusive model 70. If anyone has a rifle in good condition that they are looking to part with please let me know.

Thanks,
Cam

I bet that you've got some nice options to consider now. Buying is so much more enjoyable than selling. Regardless of your decision, wishing you and your friend a great hunt this fall. Can't get more classic than a Tanzanian buff hunt.
 
Wish sll you sellers and the buyer all the best and enjoyable transaction.

At your/his budget of 7k, you are limited to a Model 70 in 416 rem or a Dakota.
Good hunting and I hope you have a great hunt!

I am actually overwhelmed at the response…. Will work through tomorrow with him and wishing I would have plugged into the forum years ago.
 
This one had his attention…. Unfortunately it has been sold for a while apparently but the ad has not been removed. I questioned my friend again tonight to be sure it was the right rifle.
Very common on GI

Stuff that is sold is not taken down.
 
416 rem mag all the way

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe

Hi Walden. Good morning from England, Chris here (The Englishman!) from Croatia. Firstly it was a pleasure to meet you and Michelle - a fellow Sanderson! I have finally joined AH as I enjoy it very much. Glad you enjoyed the hunt and your write up which I read on AR was very good indeed. I am sending on WhatsApp pics from Bojan of some of the animals hunted recently. Take care and best regards. CS.
