Thanks! I watched this for so long thinking of course someone would buy it. His cost of $18,000 is spot on given I went to Rigby website and built the gun. Also you will wait a minimum of a year maybe longer to get it since he did add ons so it would not be in stock. You then take the supplies...

I will take entire package, PM sent

Please see PM

I totally agree with you. Given all animals hunted with dogs only a hypocrit can disagree. My only concern is @Philip Glass story of his hound hunt where his PH got hurt. Yes I know this is a rare occursance but it has frightened me off of hounds back to hunting in a blind with bait. To be clear...

Frantz I hear you my friend! Your rationale is exactly when I see what I want knowing it may be unavailable in the future I buy heavy. Some people may think that is selfish but my challenge is those people need to see the big picture using DRs as an example when you see brass or primers...

He has a beautiful rifle, no question. His original cost had opportunity costs of buying a NIB Merkle DR for his same asking price…His current asking price now makes this a very interesting offer. Just my POV

Toby just curious what Africa calibers have you not owned?

Liesl I recommend breaking out the $18,000 into day rates and trophy fees so people can see what an awesome deal this is. Also unlike other outfitters this cost does not have all the other taxes, VAT, etc. It truly is all in the price she is quoting. Maybe just me but I hate all the other add...

Having taken my elephant this past April with Tokoloshe this is an absolute fabulous hunt with a great outfitter. I give them my highest recommendation!

To your point until you get to the Big 5 that are cites to the US easy to handle. The former I will always use Conservation Force

I put my 1977 M77 Ruger in 30-06 in a Boyd replacement stock and at 100 yards shoots touching each other which was better than its original stock

All mine have carried 458 Lott except one who had a 470 DR

I will say of all the Big 5 the leopard requires the most homework on outfitters and areas to hunt

As i’m sure everyone sees all Cabellas aren’t equal. Having lived in TX nine years now back in GA as a native GA ones have horrendous selection of anything big bore…TX always seems to have some

As the great Lou Hallamore says who wrote Chui. leopard is really 50-50

Step 1 is enclosing outside identical to siding since porch was already under roof. Step 2 is only having one beautiful arched door versus current two going out to patio. Step 3 is matching inner house flooring exactly which is a natural oak. Step 4. is putting in a small closet to give me the...

I am enclosing my 300 square foot porch to a trophy room/ office. Here is the start. I will keep everyone posted from the start to the finish

Welcome. I am in Alpharetta and am an old hand to Africa hunting. let me know if I can help

You are correct. I helped my friend sell a 61 inch Kudu and he got $850 given its size. Taxi brings pennie’s on the dollar sad but true. The reason is very few people like my friend see Africa taxi as a style for their home. Hunters want their own animals thus pennie’s on the dollar for someone...

By the way Lou Hallamore had Buzz as his appi when Buzz was but a grass hopper

Definetly Lou Hallamore who wrote Chui and @rookhawk said is the best leopard man alive today

chucker

@ActionBob forgive my ignorance, what are the four wood pegs for please? I will be screwing down my powder filler and my checker press…are these for those ?

Everyone on 3/17 my new office/trophy room starts. I will keep everyone posted. I just ordered @ActionBob reloading table for the new room…incredible deal!!! I am having 3/4 inch plywood installed on every wall to give me the freedom to put my animals anywhere. I have three large African...

If anyone can fix messed up taxi from Africa its @gizmo !!!!! He is the best!!!

August was when he took the leopard

So sorry for your bad experience. While there is no guarantee Africa Taxis will do as good a work as your US one I have found I am always better off getting my Taxi done in Africa. While I have never been disappointed with the work they rarely hit there time lines. At least in my 8 safaris I...

I was on the same hunt you are going on with D&Y in the same area with @Philip Glass . He had set up pre baiting and took a hippo for more bait during his hunt. He told me he was gambling by trying a leopard for a 10 day hunt with us, his friends versus a typical 14 day hunt. Not to worry…I...

If anyone wants a 375 this is an awesome deal

Welcome. I live in Alpharetta and am a native born and raised. played football at Ga Tech poorly and married a Ga cheerleader lol

Curious is surgery not an option even at our age I am 65. Anything that can be surgically fixed I do given I am an animal at rehab

Wish I could be a candidate for this!!! However, this is the exact time I will be hunting my leopard in Zim. I do want to say how very generous this offer is to someone by Scott!!!!!

please correct me if I am wrong but before I got back into reloading I think I used you to make up 5 shots of different powder weights that you placed in a color matching group to the weight? If so this was an awesome feature that enabled me to zero in the best combination for my rifles

I took good pictures with my Canon Rebel camera then had an Africa artist paint the photo as oil on canvas. I had her do it large enough to just about cover my wall. Her charge $440. Now the olive wood frame mounting $1800. All in mounted picture $2240

here is what I did

I only see two 500 NE below $20K anywhere on the net right now; The new Merkle 140 in Alabama and JJ Perodeau has a brand I don’t know. That’s it at that price range

Yes. On my first day of a 10 day hunt in Zim followed by a 5 day SA hunt I took a bad fall and completely tore my left tricep tendon from the bone. Ice, pain medication and alcohol got me through both hunts. My surgeon told me I was stupid and should have come home immediately given the tendon...

You are so correct!!! Put me down for owing you a drink also with @375 fox

I consider @rookhawk our forum expert on your question as he has shared his wise experience on this a few times

You know in the years i have known my good friend @Philip Glass I cannot ever remember him being wrong!!!! I may just have to revisit my thinking

No at Tokoloshe that is total cost except tip and air

I highly recommend @wintershoek for one. that was not my experience at all. Please see my post from April

Wow!!!! Congratulations on incredible hunts and experiences!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Fair points. Strictly based on my research again no taxi, tips or air you can still take a nice buff as follows: SA$9,500, Zim $13,500, Moz $16,500, Bull Elephant $17,000 Zim, Dart Rhino $6,500 SA, CBL lion $7,500, Leopard $21,000 Zim

You da man!!! You shoot her extremely well! She gave me the same great regulation and I know I have transferred her into good hands who will record many great memories with her!!!!

lol!!! You are 100% correct! To be clear I both like and greatly respect @375 fox!!!! I will definetly buy him a drink when I see him!!!!

I have got to go to one of these…I am missing out!!!!

And from what I hear he throws the best party of anyone on AH!!!!

So excited for you my friend…you give me hope on my own leopard try!!! Looking forward to your pictures with your Rigby double !!!

I only called you out for bullying people that's all...stating your opinion is respected...bullying people is not.
