I would try Alan Henry of Natal Gun Company, Benni Loubsher (sp) in the cape and Kevin Healy in the free state, and then there is Sabi rifles and the gunsmith at Safari and Outdoors in Stellenbosch.

Another vote for Gerrie Coetzee, he has build all my rifles, and does a great big bore. My .450 Rigby has saved my life a couple of times, and I cannot reccommend him high enough.

Thanks guys that's certainly something to get me started. btw are these guys importing barrels from Lotharwalter/pacnor or do you have a local maker of 50cal and over tubes?

they can order what you want. mostly they use a local breed by the name of Truvello. well known for their export of localy produced sniper rifle's to the Nato and other forces. my 300H&H has such a barrel and i get an 11mm group at 100m out of factory ammo.

Karl, I know Gerrie has access to Pac-Nor barrels and others, Sabi used to imprt Walther barrels, etc, so that would be the option I take after Vektor closed down. I absolutely detest Truvelo barrels, and would not take one even if they gave it to me for free, or even pay me $1000.....
Some might disagree, but I have seen just too many problems with them to ever trust them again. And the funny thing is, the most problems start to occur later in the barrel's life, round about 600-800 shots, they just all of a sudden develop pressure problems.

wart-hog, without getting into a pissing match, about the quality of Truvelo or not, ask Gerrie if he prefer Truvelo for anything specific, and if he has ever had trouble with them. You might be surprised by his answer.

Alan, I think the address you have is Gerrie's old Postal address, which he has had for a long time, and still use for both his shops. His workshop is at 81 Park road, Bloemfontein if I remember correctly.

@ adam2: Thanks for the link to his website. I went there and got his contact details, which I have added to the list. He sure makes some fine safari rifles... all from scratch too! tu2

@ Karl Stumpfe: Thanks for the head's up. I think I will send this list to every email that I have, and ask them to sort out their details and get back to me with any error fixes. I'm going to hold off on changing Gerrie until you (or he) can give me a confirmation on that address.

If anyone else sees anything on these addresses that does not look right, please let me know. I tried to format it so it would make sense to an English speaking person, especially an American. It would be a good resource if a hunter needed to find a good gunsmith while on safari, or if they just wanted to go by and look at their guns, etc.

I didn't bother with the phone numbers because it would be too much of a mission to try and figure out city codes, cell codes, whatever. Hopefully that will come right in the next round of editing, when I get feedback from the gunsmiths. It would be nice to have these phone numbers formatted for correct dialing within South Africa, but I'm sure any local person could figure it out.

If anyone knows of a good gunsmith that is not on this list, please send me as much of their contact details as you can. If you could use the format above to organize the information, it would be appreciated.


Cheers,

Karl, will talk to him, but he built me a 300H&H
on a truvello barrel in 2010. if not mistaken he uses a 6mm truvello for the local hunting rifle shooting comp.

Karl, get a .500-MDM from Michael and forget about it. Did you see their bullets at Dallas? That non-con is devastating on Buffalo and the FN solids are getting faster speeds with less pressure. Penetration on Elephant is unreal.
Cheers,
David

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Not interested in pipsqueaks thanks Big Grin
Seriously the 500 calibre is probably the least interesting to me, as are internet wildcats.
