African Hunting Rifle Pack

[neon pelican]

In the Plains of Africa you’ll need all the power you can get,introducing the African Hunting Rifle Pack.This pack will set you up to hunt all the Old Wold Game you could dream of in the cradle of mankind. (I might turn this
Weapons in this pack include
Remington Model7 7mm-08-2 ammo types,2-6 and 4-7
• .318 Rimless Nitro Express-4-9/10
• .416 Rigby-8-10
• .458 Winchester-8-10 (.470 would now have the same class range)

Alongside this pack Cape and Water Buffalo would be Reclassed to 10 (as much as it would be perfect to have an Hippo for that icon….)

A few scopes I’d like to see with this pack would be a 2.5-15 or a 1.5-6X which would be perfect for dangerous game.

[raw copper]

I'd like to introduce the .318 Westley Richards (still around just super expensive)

This was introduced around the same time as the 9.3x62mm and .375 began competing so it got overshadowed a good bit. It's a actually a .33 caliber rifle but has the distinction of being a well known Ivory hunter's friend.

In Fact, W.D.M Bell in his book the Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter states "Of all the arguements had around the camp fire about the best cartridge, the .318 seems to come up least often, perhaps its due to the unique bullet it is most often loaded with but I've yet to meet anyone who denied the usefulness of this rifle. I've hunted elephant and buffalo with it, and i've come to rely on it for all manner of game big and small

[neon pelican]

Very interesting!

[raw copper]

The amount of elephants he killed is astonishing and he attributed almost a hundred to this caliber

Nickel plated/capped bullets, apparently designed to punch thru elephant skulls from the outset

[neon pelican]

What would be the classing??? It says it’s used for just about anything?

[raw copper]

4-9 I guess? They apparently shot at everything and it worked just fine

omg it's cool like this, the scope is mounted too high tho

You read enough and caliber doesn't matter half as much as shot placement anyway. also they would just keep shooting til whatever it was died or they got bored

[atomic lichen]

Would love this!

[coarse holly]

I would still save the class 10 spot to one day have a hippo for that icon

[next stump]

add a 375 too

[neon pelican]

That was on there originally,I’m saving that one for my American one.

[raw copper]

.376 Steyr Dragoon Scout rifle might be an option, apparently its a thing

[merry river]

Roosevelts Winchester 1895 would be great as well

[royal tendon]

Arise sir

[undone karma]

moving animals to class 10 cape and watter buffalo some other guns bought with those dlc should also be able to hunt class 10 what changes do you want to make there?

[neon pelican]

There aren’t any long range rifles ingame that should be used to hunt Capes,Water Buffalo bows on the other hand,the big game arrows could probably be class 10’s or we get a new grain,900g.

[undone karma]

I think the 470 sounds legit still. but i get your point. So they should add a gun to those maps if you wanna change them to 10

[neon pelican]

I knew I forgot about something,the .470! And yes,it would be a 9-10.

[undone karma]

And i don't know about the rhino but maybe?

[neon pelican]

Maybe the .454,but handgun laws in Africa especially when it comes to hunting are sometimes stricter than other countries,however .454 has been used for all of the big 5 (it might need to be reclassed or new bullet grain as it might be a tad too op to be 4-10.)

[undone karma]

That is true, but I am looking at weapons we already have to make it possible to hunt all species in parque en vurhonga without the new gun pack.

[neon pelican]

The .454 is in the game! It’s the handgun,the big boi revolver.

[undone karma]

the rhino i was talking about yes

[neon pelican]

Sorry,morning brain,I wasn’t thinking.

[raw copper]

So, just learned about a rifle called the .585 Nyati, it has 10,000ftlbs of energy at the muzzle. And I firmly believe it could kill a Sherman tank if you used the right bullet.

[neon pelican]

Shoulder is no more!

[raw copper]

Definitely a "F*ck you T rex, now I hunt the triceratops" kinda gun

[neon pelican]

At what point does a Rifle become an artillery piece…

[raw copper]

cut off seems to be the .700 NE, you know, the hippo drops and you get to see a .10k rifle in a tree after you wake up from a coma (if you wake up)

585 Nyati and a .22LR, i feel like this was done on purpose for reasons other than a scientific comparison of size

[neon pelican]

Bump

[neon pelican]

So,apparently there’s a company that makes m1 garands in…. .458 Winchester.

[rigid sparrow]

Classes 4-11 🤣

[raw copper]

C"MON EW WE NEED MORE FIREPOWER

[cosmic crypt]

Behold, the double barrel bolt action repeating rifle

[raw copper]

"Give 'em both barrels!"

[cosmic crypt]

The Rotary Round Action, custom made, and only 5 are made per year.

[turbid sapphire]

Very unique

[cosmic crypt]

Perfectly hand crafted in Idaho.

[neon pelican]

Interesting!

[cosmic crypt]

Should look it up on YouTube, there incredible.

[raw copper]

Bumped

[alpine lantern]

Very good idea.

[cosmic crypt]

Westley Richards .425 bolt action rifle. Compared to other bolt action rifles it has a more unique build to it, with its more prominent magazine, this high end rifle would make for an excellent rifle to add

I’ve held one these irl before. The bolt is beautifully smooth and it’s all around one of the best rifles I’ve seen.

[neon pelican]

It looks beautiful.

[cosmic crypt]

And the weight of it is perfect, not too light and too heavy.

[raw copper]

it looks fantastic, I'd love to see one as a reserve weapon, WR makes some of the most beautiful and functional rifles I've ever seen

[cosmic crypt]

It’s Worth going into financial debt for

[raw copper]

my wife would disagree but it is very nice, honestly I just like these older styles and materials much more than modern stuff. the older cartridges were purpose made to bring down animals, most modern cartridges seem like they are meant for paper and competition (6.5 Creedmoor)

[cosmic crypt]

Marriage always gets in the way of buying cool stuff. It always has, and it always will

[cosmic crypt]

Yeah the 6-5 creedmore is so overrated

[raw copper]

She can order a 2600.00 furniture set, looks at me like a phsyco for wanting a 1400.00 bergara B-14

[cosmic crypt]

If the chair isn’t made out of horns and antlers it’s not worth it

[raw copper]

it's not, its a bedroom set made to look like barnwood. not even concincing barnwood

the Bergara had a maple stock and ebony forend

[cosmic crypt]

As I said…marriage

[raw copper]

anyway, I'm hoping for weapons with actually useful iron sights. I like the extra challenge and traditional looks an iron sighted rifle

[cosmic crypt]

That would be really nice

[raw copper]

this would be great to see on a new lever action or even a falling block type of rifle, very accurate and traditional look

[cosmic crypt]

On one of these two, heck yeah

[raw copper]

this is a customized Winchester 1894 using that tang sight, caliber in this one is .356 Winchester. The cartridge, at the time it was designed, was meant to be a high power alternative to the longer and heavier 1886/1895 class rifles chambered in .45-70

[rigid sparrow]

Bump

[dense grotto]

bump

[amber tinsel]

Not a rifle but uses rifle bullets; What about a howdah pistol? Something like the .577/450 Martini–Henry used by Patterson on the Tsavo Man-eaters. Cause the .470 takes up too much space and I don't feel like grinding pistol score for the .454 Rhino's high pen bullets.

[atomic lichen]

We really need these rifles in the game!

[raw copper]

I'm bumping this up because we still lack class 6-9 weapons in a bad way
