I’m probably getting ahead of myself, as there is no Buffalo in the salt yet, but if all goes well there will be one in July.

I will definitely get a euro skull mount done (it’s my personal preference) and I’m wondering what I should do with the skin?

I think the one “must do” is a Buffalo skin rifle bag- but that should leave a fair amount of leather left over? What did you all do?

I’m weighing up rifle slings, key chains etc? I’d love to see pics if you’ve got em?

Good day members

I am currently contemplating building a 8x68S hunting rifle. I really would like it very much if you who owns a 8x68S rifle will give me feedback regarding this caliber.

Between the hot days and the thick cover, it makes for proper hunting conditions where patience and good decision making matter.

At Derian Koekemoer Safaris we are very selective about the areas we hunt. This careful approach allows us to offer low-pressure hunts that consistently produce top-quality...

Howdy,

Working up 375 loads for RSA safari in a few weeks. Barnes 300 TSX at around 2625 and 250 TTSX at around 2825. I've found interjecting standard cup and core bullets in the session kills the Barnes accuracy until cleaned thoroughly. Any experience on how many rounds you get before the barrel needs to be clean?

appreciate any exerience
