Who's going on Safari this year....

I did not succeed on my first hunt of 2022 - no winter moose for me - but I did take a tiny part of AH with me. I had my hat along for the success photo, if a success photo had present itself.

We are headed to South Africa in mid-May for a month. We will be hunting with Quagga, Kuche and Pioneer. Cannot wait! It will be an all Rigby rifle safari.
 
Awesome! I have the Rigby HV in 275 Rigby the “poor” man’s version of Rigby. Love to see you post pictures of your 275 Best!
Here is a short article with photos on how this rifle came about for "Home 6".


I don't think Rigby has a "poor man's version" of anything. :)

Coastal Alaskan Adventures
Should be good. I’ve guided for a guy that used to have part of their area before he sold to them and I also guided for CAA in 2019. Their Admiralty Island and Chichagof Island areas are good areas. The yachts and chef meals are first class. All equipment well maintained.
 
Romania in early may for 1 week for Roe, boar, and touring the castles and old cities (after trying to do it for 2 years with this covid nonsense)

Potentially somewhere in east or west Africa late in the year
Look forward to the report on Romania.
 
Looking into a plains game hunt in RSA, but the airfare and flights are the big "unknown" right now. Unsure today if I'll roll the dice on 2022 or wait another year.
Fly Qatar and eliminate the unknowns! Go on safari.
 
March 29 - April 7 Crusader Safaris, Eastern Cape and Drakensburg mountains for half a dozen fallow deer during the roar, as many bushbucks as I can clap and maybe three or four eland.

Sept 1- Sept 12 in Mozambique for three buff bulls, two bushbuck and a gresbok.
 
No safari for me this year, dang-it. (So glad I went in 2021!)

Unfortunately I have some heart surgery to get past in a few weeks - so the numba one goal is a return in 2023.

Don't wait for things to be perfect guys, go when you can....

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
