New(old books) in the stable. Got a good deal on all of them.

Collecting books from the NA continent for me is new. Will get a few more to be represented of that continent.

Excellent stuff, but I had not heard of Chaudhuri or Radclyffe. I am re-reading Stigands "Hunting the Elephant in Africa" at the moment, unfortunately not in @rigbymauser's nice old edition, but the same Capstick-library edition as @Huntsmans Bane .

I have Sutherlands book in a Safari Press edition as well.

Most of the "hunting in the old days"-books I have are in Ebook-format. Not really the same thing, but a lot easier to read in bed. :-)

When it comes to old actual books, I managed to pick up Samuel W Bakers "Albert N'yanza" printed in 1867 along with Georg Schweinfurths "In the heart of Africa" (1896) at a local auction a month ago.
 
Terrific books all!!

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
