VC are out and Sabatti in 500NE is a real poor choice.... So make your pick Heym or Krieghoff....

It is a Fiat.....

What a disaster......

9.3x74R O/U double.......

Except an elk that you wounded.......

Both these was extremely lucky nobody got seriously injured.....glad nobody got injured.... I will rather refrain from further comment as both could have ending in a shitshow.......

That would be great......first animal will be a bushpig in corn or over hounds not a Wounded leopard though....

Cheaper than 100 stitches.....if they work......

I get nervous reading how many times different people shoot the same buck......thank heavens where I hunt that never happens.....

I would not buy one.....

NO....and be cautius of the ones who own them as they will always give positive feedback just because they own one.....

Yip....time waits for no one....

I cannot see shots past 50 yards in that area on buffalo so the light weight high speed setup is definately not what I would recommend.....

Grany......you are nuts......

Take both..... If you are hunting their 9000 hectare property close to Botswana it is thick stuff there and for the buff you would want to use the 416 instead of the 375.... You dont want to be hunting buff with 300gr bullets in the 416(unless I misunderstand your post)..... If it was me I...

A what?

And your point is?

6 years ago I posted here 404 Jeff with qd scope..... I quess I am safe.....

What sre your primary animals?

Nice bull well done!!

You are behind the times for that they use 5.56x45mm now adays.... We are talking dangerous game not killing perps or gooks....

Big differance between a peep and a ghost ring.....nothing beats a ghost ring for close range open site work....fastest and most accurate open site availible....

4750 for a kudu??? F...me I can kill buff for that.....

Depends on a few things..... For a visiting hunter it needs to be a legal caliber for the country and target animal.. and a caliber that the hunter can use with confidence....for the PH it may be 1 caliber for all.....or more than one..... For me I use 500 Jeff, 404 Jeff, 375H&H and...

I will join you for a beer (I only drink brannas)..... The main point for me is attack the range with your prefered firearm as you would in the field..... Doubles could never win simple..... Hunter, novice or PH makes no difference.....if I start in the fiel with 4 in my 500Jeff that is the way...

No just use the standard with 170gr bullets sorted

For free? Or did you already pay something? Winning means randimly getting it for free...

300 H&H with 200gr bullets would be another good choice in a bolt action......

Yes I regularly shoot Original Brenneke slugs through any degree of choke even full choke no problems. Other slugs I dont know

2.75" is availible but would it not be ok to shoot 2.75" cartidges in the 3" chamber?

Bridge swivel mount for scope and tilt mount for optic. The bit extra weight forward with insert barrel I am not too worried about(when hunting pg). I am more concerned with the balance and swing when the insert barrel is out. As well as the effect on the shotgun barrels at 22 vs 24".... At...

Nice shooting. Here is visible why I stopped doing the BASA shoots.....as I believe the wrong muscle memory is being worked into the use of the rifle. I quess if someone has a 500 Jeff for fun it is different but if it is used in the field for hunting and backup it is different.... 1. If your...

I have been a longtime user of the Original Brenneke slugs. I still have quite a few but guard them like gold. I am trying to import a batch of the slugs only. I also reload my own shotgun shells by using solid brass hulls. The cases I use are Magtech. These I only use for shot. As mentioned...

Thanks. So even with 24 inch barrels the standard 1/2 and 3/4(how it comes) will be fine for occasional game bird hunting. Sand grouse, francolin, spurfowl, guineafowl etc. It will obviously not be a dedicated bird gun but rather a one gun hunt all with the ability to do some occasional bird...

Once again you have verbal diarrhea on a subject you know nothing about..... I asked what the best fixed chokes were for a drilling with 24 " barrels that will be fitted with a 7x57R insert barrel......do me a favour and dont post anything further on this thread..... Rather start one on shotgun...

There is a nice O/U 375 H&H on sale here in the classifieds

FFS if I wanted your input I would have sent you a PM......

9.3x74R and then a 7x57R barrel insert in the left 12ga barrel.

I was thinking the same it also simplifies matters in the field.

This not a shotgun...... They fit Briley chokes if wanted.

Either or including TSS. There will be an insert barrel 7x57R in the left 12ga barrel.

For a 12ga 3" drilling what would be the best fixed choke for each barrel? Barrels will be 24 inches. This will be for a field gun also shooting buckshot and slugs. Not going to be used for waterfowl or geese. Africa, game birds while hunting pg. Standerd chikes are 1/2 and 3/4. Is it worth...

Look at a Blaser or Krieghoff O/U Bergstutzen. One barrel in 9.3x74R the other in 7x57R. There are other options in calibers. Or 2 sets of barrels one in 9.3x74R and the other in 7x57R. The barrels are easily adjustable so no regulation issues.....

No scope included......

The Rigby No.2 has a much stronger case. 500/416 has a very thin rim get the resizing a bit wrong and the rim pulls off. It is an old black powder case design. I would stick with more modern case designs designed for todays powders. Especially in a build like this. The 450 No.2 3 1/2 has the...

Just hunt the right place at the right time. Northern Moz in Nov us not the right place or time....as for snakes they are all over the world and if you spend enough time outdoors you will encouter them. Moz is a great hunting experience

In terms of efficiency in killing game ability I have found(this is also historically recorded) that my 7x57mm 170gr, 375H&H 300 to 350gr and 500Jeff 570 to 600gr bullets are extremely efficient on African game. So is the 404 Jeff 400gr which was doing all the work in the field while the 416...

416 Rigby No.2 or 450 No.2 NE 3 1/2 the latter would be great

Nowhere at the moment as they are closing down the sport hunting production...
