I have previously posted on my 416 Rigby, the only full stocked one I have seen. One of my favorite rifles. I took a Buffalo with it in the Save valley Zimbabwe in 2019. My new 416 is an entirely different animal.

A 1980 Mercedes Unimog 416 Doka. It lacks many of the creature comforts of todays vehicles, like AC or a radio. It’s loud and smells of diesel and Latakia. But it does have front and rear PTO and hydraulics and a 3 way tipper bed. It brings a smile to my face every time I drive it!

I'm truly jealous! Can you post some pics of the axles for those who don't know what they look like or how they're engineered? Awesome vehicles!
 
I would buy one if I could find one

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
