Quarterly return to the top in hope that someone knows of a LH Winchester M70.

In 2024 I had a warthog skull shipped over using Spirit of Africa taxidermy. I paid ZAR 7837.00 for air freight, insurance, packing, and agency fees in South Africa, and then I paid GBP 566.00 on the UK side to cover all costs for import and delivery to my home address.

I have stalks booked already, but that doesn't meet the requirement, unfortunately. I am a member of the National Gamekeepers Organisation.

I am hoping for some help or advice from the collective. For the last few years, I have had an open certificate which has allowed me to use my .22lr for vermin and my 270 and 30-06 for deer and any other lawful quarry. My 375 H&H remains limited to range use and overseas use only. A few times a...

With the short barrel on the ‘06 you prob want something like N550 or RS60. I would give the 165grain accubond a go for the lead option, and 165 ttsx for the copper load. Not much in the northern hemisphere that isn’t covered.

Any photos please?

I recently sold my 3-door 2004 Land Cruiser (advertised here) and I am now on the hunt for my next vehicle. I am looking for a family-sized car, preferably diesel, good documented service history, and no chassis rot. I am not overly fussed about mileage if the vehicle has been well cared for...

Welcome to the site. I spent a number of years working for a Zambian company in and around Lochinvar National Park near Monze on the Kafue flats. Our camp manager was a former PH, trained in Zim, and had some amazing stories and photos to go with. I would love to go hunt up in the Luangwa valley.

And anything on the outside?

He was a big old boar:

I had warthog boar skull and tusks mounted on a shield from a very memorable stalk back in South Africa. It is the only trophy I have ever kept so I am not well versed in the long term care of the bone and ivory. The pig was very old when I shot him, and the tusks are now showing signs of drying...

I am selling my 3 door LandCruiser here: Landcruiser J125

Hi folks, I am looking for an opportunity to use my non-moderated aperture sighted 30-06 to put a deer in the freezer. I have punched paper out to 100m off a bench, but hoping for an opportunity to get some close range stalking in. Based in E. Mids and willing to pay and travel a few hours if...

I had a proper argument with Warks on the phone regarding my 375 - they kept saying it was too powerful and that it wasn't in the guidelines. I said a safe backstop is a safe backstop (a shot from a challenger 2 tank won't penetrate a hill) and that my fast 270 is a bigger ricochet risk than my...

Price drop.
