Several people have ask me if I had received the rifle I ordered and I did, actually a few months ago. I am sure few even remember that I ordered it, no biggie. I will not elaborate so as not to upset some . My new 450/400 Holland and Holland, lost its virginity on an elephant, driving a...

my sister picked up an old one but in very good condition. she is thinking the 156 norma Oryx, but ask me what I thought and I am asking you fellows. what are you shooting out of your 6.5 x 54's ? Best Regards Jamila p.s. think medium size game ( like Elk in the United States )

I have been told that nobody has or wants a double rifle on the forum but I continue to have members ask me questions about them. i am really busy and therefore I will answer all three inquires with this one post. The short answer is YES and he is in the United States ( California ). Searcy...

I was ask by three different members about snakes, so please, those of you who dont want me posting here, please give it a rest, I am just responding to a request. Yes, there are dangerous snakes in Namibia---BUT 1. Hippos ( on land ), buffalo, Elephant ( on Musth ), crocodiles, lions and...

someone sent me a video of a black bear attacking a bow hunter in Canada. first and foremost I was glad to know that he was o.k. and after knowing that he was o.k. I must admit I had to laugh and I will tell you why and then ask a question. All he did as the animal started his charge was yell...

we hear some pretty amazing things from people who are first time hunters in Africa, but recently three fellows were arguing about how fast they could accurately shoot four shots at a charging lion and which type of action would help them achieve this--double, bolt, or lever ( semi;s are not...

I know some would prefer I did not post on the forum and I also know it is Thanksgiving for you gentlemen in the United States. So please excuse the intrusion. But we recently had a rather unpleasant experience with a fellow from Europe (Germany ) and just wanted to make these statements a...

Dr Mike, Cheyenne, Alaska members Our family has a friend who is moving back to Alaska from Africa. She uses a 280 Ross, that was given too her from her grandfather before he passed away. She likes the rifle and caliber and currently has no problem finding Woodleigh .287 bullets for her rifle...

My dad has a few of these, mainly small calibers 6.5 x 54, 6.5 x 55, 7 x 57 type calibers. They are still seen and used in Europe, but I don't see them discussed much in the colonies. They have the hard to keep accurate label attached to them, and I doubt any one uses them as a walking stick...

I am going on another Capercaillie hunt in Dec. It will once again be a hunt on cross country ski's. I love this hunt and can not wait to do it again. Will borrow either the 220 swift or the 224 weatherby. the fellow that works for us ask me how I wanted them loaded and though it might be...

Gentlemen, I have been searching for over a year for a new double. I have pretty much narrowed my search down to Heym, Merkel, Krieghoff, and Holland and Holland. In order to keep the cost down on the H & H , it would not have any engraving on it or very very little. I have also narrowed my...

The next time your in the market for an all round hunting scope. Take a look at the Schmidt and Bender Summit. I don't think you will be disappointed. The options are limited and a lot of you prefer more power than that one provides, but they are pretty nice little scopes. I don't like the...

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...

I am in the process of deciding which single shot rifle I want to buy and give to someone. I have looked at a few and at the moment I am thinking it will be the Dakota 10. However someone has told me that the Ruger single shot rifles are just as good as the Dakota, but I have never owned a...

Scotty or anyone Would someone post a picture or two of one of these bullets and from a couple different angles please. Also did they have any markings on them ? I may have found some for Scotty, but they are in an unmarked box, not a bag. I remember my mother got slapped down by a member...

Mr Beretz Remember those BBC/s we were able to get to you. They are no longer the most expense bullet you will ever use. the Norma Oryz bullets have them beat by a mile, LOL Gentlemen, it is my understanding that unless someone finds a new way to delay them, they should be on their way to...

Well that was easy---not I have always had a healthy amount of respect for my parents but after helping them with the business for a few months, I have a tremendous amount of respect for them. Norma shipped the wrong bullets to England. I sent them back and finally got the Oryx bullets. I...

Gentlemen, I am making this post for my mother, who is unavailable at this time. Scotty, Tom, Sean, Charles I received notice that the Rhino bullets have all been delivered. Please advise if you did not receive yours. The GSC bullets will be delivered to you next week. Scotty, Tom...

Scotty, Tom, Charles, Sean and April We just received word that the bullet's we promised you fellows have cleared U.S. customs and have arrived at our company in the States. They will ship out to each of you on Monday, probably two day UPS. Scotty, 270, 7MM, 338 Tom, 270. 308. 358 Charles...

I did not get to hunt while in New Zealand, but only because New Zealand has changed their laws and the 300 H & H is now the only caliber allowed for hunting big game animals in New Zealand and I did not have mine with me. I will be returning in May, with my 300 H & H and will hunt them at that...
