Me and a friend spent Apr. in RSA hunting, shooting and looking around.

My hunt included Kudu, Blesbuck and a Impala. The hunting was a bit tricky due to the fact that the grass was still high and the leafs still on the bush. It was really hard to spot the game and get a clear shot. I was lucky thoug!

My Kudu was a good 52,25" throphy! Both the Blesbuck and the Impala was big as well. We had a great time and time flew by.

I know some benchrest shooters in RSA and the trip was arranged by some of them. Several of the BR shooters was PH:s and the hunt was arranged by one of them. We saw lots of game and was treated better than we could whish for.



Can�t wait to get back!

Stefan

Stefan, that's a great kudu. There is a lot of "character" in those horns. Good going!

Beautiful kudu! Congratulations! A month in RSA shooting and hunting sounds just fine.

That there rifle wouldn�t be a custom Hva on a Mauser action in 9,3x66, would it?

Thank�s guys!

Boha is spot on! The rifle is a custom job around a HVA/FN M-98 action. The barrel is a Sako chambered for the 9,3X66. The stock is a dense claro.

The blesbuck was 1 cm. short of the Rawland awards.....
