Ruger African, older model prior to the muzzle brake. Believe it has a 23" barrel.
You should be able to reach 2400 fps with Alliant 2000 MR, even with the longer 350gr TTSX bullet. Let us know how it turns out.
Round 2 was a knock-out and congratulations!
Photos were outstanding and Stan looks well fed!
May have to hunt BVC with @Nyamazana Safaris one day in the future!
Final Thoughts
I highly recommend Martin Rodriguez of Adictosacazar. Being his first American clients to hunt in Spain, I expected this may be a learning experience for both parties but Martin’s attention to detail as well as being there as a guide and interpreter made for a fantastic trip!

Day 7 & 8 – Sightseeing in Madrid
I’m up early and check my email, Delta has sent me a flight cancellation notice for the return to the States! I access the Delta App but don’t see any flight changes in the itinerary. Hmmm, I jump in the shower to clear some of the cobwebs and try calling and...
Day 6 – Afternoon: The Quest for Iberian Stag Continues
After the Mouflon is loaded up we press on, now looking for another attempt at an Iberian Stag. We drive and glass across the canyons and hillsides looking for a medal class stag, seeing quite a few stags and some nice fallow stags. I...
Day 6 - A Morning Mouflon Hunt
We left the Andujar estate and I was a little sad, what a great place to stay with fantastic hosts and I wanted another chance to hunt a big Iberian red stag there! We arrived at the Mouflon hunting area after a 2.5 hour drive with the SUV outside thermometer...
Day 5 – Hunt for Iberian Stag Continues
We are up early and meet for a quick breakfast of coffee and toast at 7:30. I’m looking forward to finding a Silver Medal Stag today. I step outside and the darkness is beginning to fade with the coming dawn.
Dawn quickly approaching
The plan for today...
Day 4 - Afternoon: Andujar Estate Hunt
The three hour drive west from Salobre to Andujar is uneventful and as we pull off the highway we ascend up into some beautiful hills, the vegetation is all different in this area. I really enjoy hunting different types of terrain and vegetation.
On our...
Day 4 - Morning Sierra Nevada Ibex Hunt
We had only allocated a couple of days for the hunting of two Ibex and had used up that time plus some! We were due to arrive at a hunting estate 3 hours away near Andujar to target big Red Stag. My mindset was good, it’s hunting not shooting and if we...
My brother used the 180gr TBT factory loads in his 300 WinMag during a plains game hunt in Zim with good results. I’ll ping him to reply with specifics.
Day 3 – Hunt for Ibex continues
We are headed back up to the high mountains we hunted in the fog on Day 1. We were in Danny’s Land Rover Discovery which was able to crawl up the icy road to the top. The sun is just breaking over the horizon, -1C so not terribly cold but when we stepped outside...
Day 2 - Glassing, Eating and Ibex Hunting!
Up early in anticipation of a new day hunting! I head downstairs around 0500 as Michelle is finishing putting together her gear for the day. I was able to convey the desire for a cup of coffee to the proprietor with milk and sugar!
Fresh cup of...
Spain: Ibex, Mouflon and Stag with ADICTOSACAZAR
The wife and I returned on 9 Dec from a hunting and sightseeing trip in Spain hunting Beceite and Sierra Nevada Ibex, Red Stag and Mouflon. As with my past reports, I’ll provide some of the details up front. If you want hunting pics, scroll down...
I’m currently in Spain headed back to the US in a few hours. The rule is a PCR Viral test 24 hours prior to departure and an Attestation vaccination form for return to the US.
Check the CDC website, your air carrier and destination country requirements for the latest updates on tests/timelines...
Interesting…I have a local CU that only does US transfers but some of the Operators have US accounts which makes it even cheaper on x-fer fees. The other CU I use is large and handles all types of transactions and charge $25. Could be my location since I live in an area with a high military...
I’ve done wire transfers for >$28K to pay off some of my African bills…wire transfer fee of $25 on my side…a 2-3%+ CC fee or more is not insignificant.
Good luck on using a CC anywhere for any amount in Zim. Not saying it can’t be done or isn’t done but it’s always been cash only in my...
@Martin Rodriguez of Adictosacazar. He is a member here but don’t believe he is a sponsor. We will be the first USA clients hunting with him in Spain and will give a full report when we return. Have had great communication with him as the wife and I have asked a thousand questions!
Well done @JimT, to get a second chance at an outstanding bull, and you made it right!
Hats off to Monterra Safaris getting back in touch with you and giving you the options. They could have re-sold that buff to another hunter and doubled the money. Stand up outfit!
