I know Ernst Scholz well, having hunted with him three times and he used to stay at my house when he first started coming to the USA doing the SCI Banquet circuit. If that was a Harris Talon in .460 Weatherby, that was a rifle that I delivered to him in '98. He handles it quite well. I shot a couple critters with it and found it brutal as it's a bit light.

He uses 500 Barnes X bullets. Shoots everything with it as it's often the only rifle he takes to TZ. I'm surprised if he bad hit something as he's probably the best game shot I've ever been around.

The PH in the Namibia episode for springbok with the Beretta semi-autos was Hartmut Freyer of Gauss Hunting. He and Ernst are pals since their early school years. The credits did list Ernst as the P.H. but probably because he organized it with Hartmut.
