mtwarych: Sir. Someone ask me if I would respond. My sister wrote a paper on this in college, but she lost me when she started taking about DNA, 33 million years ago. I do remember, or think I remember that there are no antlered mammals in Africa, at this time, and the only antlered...

lefty 315 the 9.3 x 62 is well used and enjoyed on the dark continent and can be used in some jurisdictions for dangerous game, but not all. The 9.3 x 64 can be used in all jurisdictions when hunting dangerous game, even those that state 375 H & H is the minimum caliber allowed. Not a big deal...

1100 Remington Man Love a man that loves and understands the 300 H & H and that if you want all that the grand old girl can give you, one does not hunt with a baby bullet. Hunt with a 200 or 220 grain bullet and if you are a reloader the old girl will shoot faster than the Winchester mag, with...

Guy, I was given a heads up about this thread and wanted to extend my congratulations as well. As has been said, this would be the time to take a nice moose trophy and perhaps snag a wolf or two as well. Your travel costs are the same whether you take one trophy or two and you should get a...

Cole, thank you , your post was appreciated, good information I want to thank everyone who responded, it is appreciated However; as I am sure all the married men on the forum knows, a woman can change her mind Rodger, you are correct, but I don't want it "exclusively" for those hunts or a...

Dr Mike, when you get a chance and since you live close to her, would you remind our friend from the North, that payback is a bitch. Dr Mike, Scotty, Rodger, thank you gentlemen for your kind responses Best Regards Jamila

Thank you Scotty, I like the Conetrol product, but have some concern about the company future, hopefully they will be o.k., time will tell. I am also looking at the 1-8 x 24 with the 7 Flash Dot, thanks to a suggestion from a friend Best Regards Jamila

Thank you gentlemen for your responses Dr Mike, my mother always liked Leupold and likes the 6 but got a little upset at their marketing of the 6, she also wished it had the same lens attachments as the 7. The scope I am looking for must excel in low light conditions as the only shot your...

I am wrestling with which to buy ( I have narrowed it down to these two) Zeiss Victory Varipoint ic 30mm or S & B Zenith flash dot #7 both are 1.5 - 6 - 42 what rifle it will set on or what animal it will hunt is not my question. Which of these scopes would you buy and why, or better yet...

You and my dad and your silly love affair with the pre 64 model 70----everybody knows that only rifles built on the mauser 98 platform are truly great rifles, at least that is what my mom told me and I am not about to get pushed off the gravy train by disagreeing with her LOL ( god forbid I...

your welcome sir my mum always told me to never marry a man who tried to give me a synthetic diamond or hunted with a synthetic stock on his rifle. I think she was joking about the stock on the rifle but probably not the diamond. However, be that as it may, please tell Mrs Hodgeman, that I...

Wildgene beat me to it. I saw this thread earlier today ( London time ) but was unable to break free until now. I agree, I think the Weatherby Vanguard Camilla will be worth a look. The price will certainly be more acceptable to more folks. During the course of the year they have been...

Idahoctd-----Cheyenne ( yukon huntress ) has a matching trio--375, 300 and 275 all H & H Hodgeman, in response to your point about availability in remote areas: Many areas in Europe and Africa will have more 300 H & H ammo on the shelve than they do 30-06 I would go with the 300 and 375 H &...

Joel, that is seriously NICE. I am a huge fan of the 6.5 x 55 and although my preference is the 64, the 62 will serve one very well in North America. I do not bench shot so the 6 BR is foreign to me. Although the Swift bullets are not, as they are one of our families favorite. Thank you for...

I want to thank everyone for their kind responses and for the information sent my way.. maverick2---- Dr Mike and April, suggested the Martin rifle 257 ackley suggested the Luxus rifle based upon their suggestions---"I" want to be on my christmas list LOL Sean, without a doubt being on...

truck driver, it is more the rifle than the cartridge sir. the cartridge;s will deliver basically the same of everything. I actually prefer the 64 to the 62 for reasons I mentioned earlier and if not the 64, then the 375. I will mention this on the open forum, very politely and without...

Bruce MC and maverick2 thank you for the heads up in regards to your experiences. Much appreciated Paul, the 275 Rigby, as we prefer to call it in the U.K. is one of my favorite calibers. I think Scotty got one for his son, nice caliber. Dr Mike and Jim---PLEASE, dont encourage her lol...

thank you salmonchaser silent sam, oh yeah the 450/400 will do. Beautiful rifle sir. It is one of my fathers favorite caliber's when hunting DG. my great-grandfather, mom's grandfather thought it would be wise to buy double's from the English gun maker's before the prices went up. Looking...

Rigbymauser, oh yeah, I agree sir. And they are part of my thought process, thank you Fotis, Dr Mike, thank you and thank you Dr Mike for the web link as well David, thank you and thank you for the new lead ( cooper) . Very nice display of rifles sir Guy, that rifle needs to hunt Africa...

Scotty, interesting, maybe the 405, I will talk to dad tomorrow about it IdahoCTD, they do sir, we have a 9.3 x 74 R in the family. Holland and Holland also has one for sale but it is not a Mannlicher. Salmonchaser, nice battery of Rugers, how accurate at 200 yards is the 375 and with what...
