Jaco,
I am deeply saddened to hear this. As you know I consider the two of you my good friends, if anything is needed besides the thoughts and prayers that are on the way please contact me.

Hey Jaco. I know this is a rough time for you. Friends like Reinhard are few and far between. We are all worried about him so please update us as soon as you can. Please pass on that all of the AH community are saying prayers for him. Thanks buddy.

Jaco so sorry to hear of this bad news hope your friend is doing well Prayers going up for him.
 
I am sorry to hear of this Jaco. Sending prayers for Reinhard.
 
He got out of theater 11:30 pm last night all went well and he will recover, I have not been able to speak to him myself obviously ;) but thanks to everyone here for your support and prayers it helped for sure!

We have a couple other friends that were vitally instrumental and will thank them in due time...

Once again thank you all AH members.
 
Good news Jaco.
 
Darn glad to hear that he will recover. Hopefully no long lasting injuries, and just some battle scars at the most.

Best wishes!
 
Good to hear!!! Will continue to pray for a speedy recovery.
 
Jaco, It's a great relief to hear, thanks for letting us know… I was thinking of him all day. That's great news.
 
Great news he will recover. Wow scary situation.

Eishh Jaco, glad he is ok!

To be honest i had some narrow escapes myself back in the day, now a days i do amateur camerawork and mostly backup PH work.

Probably not the right time to ask...and if you have some time...where did it happened, would like to hear the story...

Good luck!
 
Great news Jaco! Now that you know that Reinhard will be ok, please let us know the details of what happened whenever you get a chance.
 
Ok went into theater again for additional drainage pipes to be inserted the doctor reckons recovery time will be 5 - 6 months...

I can already imagine his frustration by not being able to hunt.

My best always
 
Great news Jaco !

By the way, I met Reinhard at the Madrid hunting fair, two, maybe three years back.
 
Good news he will recover, better news if there are no lasting effects other than boredom and frustration. Best of luck

Glad the docs are on top of the infection.

Hunting will be good motivation to promote recovery.
Hope he can muster some patience though.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
