I am building two rifles for a friend. He got two Sako actions, and I have Dan Lilja barrels. A 375/404 and a 30/404. He fell in love with my 30/404, and said “name your price”. I said “you cannot afford it!” Everyone laughed, as he has several hotels, and a big yacht! I did offer to build him his rifles, and make his ammo, free of charge! The benefit of a long friendship.  | |||

I've had Duane Wiebe build several sets of hunting rifles for Africa and elsewhere. One is a .416 Rigby and .338 Rum; another is a .300 H&H and .375 H&H; and another is a .404 Jeffery and .500 Jeffery. They all shoot great and I'm proud to hunt with them. MMP | |||

If this Covid thing ever calms down, I'm heading to Tanzania with my .404J M98 and either my 338-'06 or my 7mm Rem Mag. Or maybe my 7 X57? Apparently I have plenty of time to decide. | |||

I have taken the exact trip posed in the original question on multiple occasions. Easy choice for me , My FN Commercial Mausers in .404 Jeffrey and 9.3x62mm that I settled on years ago. I hope the World straightens out enough to at least let me try to go one more time. | |||

Tough choice, a lot of good pairs reside in the safes now, would have to decide how [ranges] to pursue these animals: Modern: Scoped M-70's in 300 and 400 H&H magnums, 220gr Partitions and 400gr Swift A Frame/BBW #13 solid. Old school double rifle hunt: 303 British and 577 Nitro, 215gr Woodleigh Weldcores and 750gr TSX/Banded Solid. 'Real' old school: 44-77 and 50-90 Sharps, 475gr and 750gr paper patch and cast lead flat nosed bullets made from 12 to 1 alloy, black powder would do the heavy lifting. | |||

Amen to that!!! The Covid 19 pandemic is being held hostage to many agendas. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

I am planning a return trip in August 2021 and have been thinking hard about leaving the scopes at home. I am primarily planning to hunt buffalo; do it the old fashioned way - up close with open sights. I have a Chapuis .375 flanged Magnum with open sights and a new Model 70 .416 Rem that I am putting a Skinner ghost ring on. USMC Retired DSC Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member | |||
