Big Bores for small things

That's a good looking Mauser. Who built it?
 
This is the M98 built at the Mauser factory in Germany.
 
I have shot buffalo, lioness, wildebeest, warthogs, eland & gemsbok with the 416 Rigby. It works great within its range limits.

I took all of these animals (except the buffalo) with my 416 Rigby. I simply enjoy shooting bigger bore rifles and find that this works very well out to 200 yards. However I did put a Leupold 3x9 (quick release bases) on it for the small stuff and longer shots too.

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
