Roedeer, red deer and wild boar in the Netherlands, plains game in Namibia in august (with bow). Black grouse in Norway late fall.

I’ve taken several buffs, hippo, croc and plains game with the 400 grs Swift A Frame in .416. They performed perfect. Unfortunately I can’t buy them anymore here in Europe, CCI primers and Swift bullets vanished.

Having Blaser’s for more then 20 years now. Started with five R93’s and changed these when the R8 came in the market. Six stocks left; only one with beautiful walnut (I almost don’t use it) four professional Success and a GRS laminated stock. Five barrels 243/30-06/8x68s/9.3x62/416rem.mag.; I’ve...

54 in 2015 with a friend to Namibia and 60 on my trip to Tanzania in 2021.

Welkom, Zimbabwe looks to me as a better country to hunt then our low lands….

Ordered at Brownell’s Benelux….Grauwolf is not allowed to export American made bullets to the Netherlands anymore.

For reloading my .416 rem.mag. I’m looking for the Swift A Frame bullets in 400 grs. I searched several web stores in Europe but I can’t find them. Anyone a good suggestion for this matter?

It’s five complete firing rifles…….I’m to lazy to switch the barrels. :)

I’ve five Blasers R8, a .243 with a norwegian GRS stock and 22 mm barrel, a 30-06 with synthetic thumbhole stock, a 8x68s with also a synthetic thumbhole stock, a 9,3x62 and a .416 rem mag both with synthetic camo stock. I also have a nice wooden stock but I almost never use it. I love the...

Just returned 1 day ago from a 10 day safari in the same Utunge camp. JP is a very nice guy, we hunted also with Pierre van Tonder. We were with the three of us and we shot all two buffs; we also shot hippo, croc, zebra, bushpig, wildebeest and hartebeest. It was a fantastic experience and it...

In October we’re leaving hunting Buff in the Selous. I’m loading my 416 rem.mag with the 400 grs. Swift A frame, but I wonder if I need a solid for in thick bush. And if so, what is the best solid in combination with the A frame. Solids are very rare in this caliber in the Netherlands or...
