I have been to both. Quality Gemsbok and Kudu in Namibia. Namibia is a little easier to get to in my opinion, the economy is better and more stable currency. Great buffalo in the Caprivi Strip.

I have sold/given away everything except my trusty 30-06, a left hand .416 Rigby, a left hand Beretta .410/28 gauge, a left hand .223 bolt action and my 1974 Winchester 9422 .22 Magnum that I got for my 12th birthday. The 06 gets by far the most action. I shoot the .416 rarely and have taken...

I think the SST is an awesome deer bullet. But, people use them for different things. I guided a young man last year on an elk hunt. He brought his 300 win mag and 180 grain SST bullets. I was a little suspect on his bullet selection, however, he made a perfect shot behind the shoulder on a...

I measured the jump when I got home. It is .050

I'm not sure what the jump is. My OAL is 3.30.

I have been playing with 168 CTBT and RL16. 57 grains is printing a little under 0.5" at 100 yards, which is pretty good for me.

I use quite a bit of RL 17 in the '06. I have not had any temperature sensitivity problems. I was in Africa last month and used RL 17 with 180 Pro Hunters and no issue in 90+ temps. I have to agree with everyone else, the Scirocco has a longer bearing surface and creates higher pressures...

I really enjoy the hunting experience. I have all my life. I do not have trophies on the wall, but have shot a lot of game. I donate every deer/elk I shoot to a charity that grinds the meat and gives to the needy. Every African animal I have shot has been donated to the local village. Last...

Thanks for the compliments. I had this rifle made for me. Double square bridge action with the bolt on the wrong side, 24" Pacnor super match barrel with 1/10 5 groove twist, exhibition grade Turkish walnut stock that was measured and bent for me, Smithson scope mount and 3x12 Schmidt & Bender...

Don't know if I did the photo correctly. If so, this is my 30-06 that I carry everywhere. It has accounted for about 400 animals and traveled to Argentina and Africa many times. I use it for everything and adjust the loads for the game I am after. I use everything from 110 TTSX to 240...

Thanks for the welcome. I don't know much but I have been shooting the 30-06 a long time. I have always been interested in bullet performance and have kept notes on most of the game I have shot. I have culled a lot of elk/white tail here in Texas, red stag in Argentina and for different...

I personally like the NAB better than the TTSX. I am also a big fan of the Swift Scirocco and even tougher A-frame. The A-frame can be too tough, except on the largest game. I have had OK results with the TTSX, some easy kills and some long tracking days on deer in which the bullet did not...
