There is no crime on having a gap, or gaps, in your firearms battery. We all have varied tastes and interests, and can appreciate that we don’t all have to agree on which calibers we choose to own and shoot. For me, while I have owned a 243, it didn’t do much for me at the time as moose was the...

Nice shooting! Another example of the excellent performance of the 7mm-08 on big game. You are racking up a great bunch of memories over there. Thanks for sharing! Getting excited for our upcoming adventure!

Excellent bullet performance! Shows why the PHs love the A Frame!

Let her know that your eyes are trained for finding fish and game for the table...comes from your years of guiding! Not for the work that keeps you away from hunting and fishing! ;)

May you enjoy many hours handling and admiring that beautiful rifle! Whether it be at home in an easy chair with a favourite beverage, around a campfire with friends and family, or on a hunt/in a stand where you can spend quality time with a handsome firearm that is pure joy to own. (I know I...

Are they both the same bullet weight? The gemsbok, wildebeest and zebra are all tough critters known for their tenacity to life and reputation of being able to take a solid hit and keep on going...I would hedge towards the bullet with the higher weight and sectional density for mass, momentum...

Nice momento of your kudu hunt! Always interesting to see the recovered bullet. How it expanded, and what weight ot retained. 72% weight retention on a 700 lb animal is pretty good performance. Was it under the hide on the offside?

Very nice ram! Looks heavy! Congrats again! Glad to see you are having an excellent adventure and creating many new memories! Kudu had long been my top bucket list animal for Africa, but in the months leading up to our trip, the more I read and watched video on hunting bushbuck, the more it...

Very nice! Nyala are such a beautiful animal. I would love a lifesize mount...just don't have the room! I did get a shoulder mount on mine. Ii is finally done along with the rest of our european mounts and flat skins, and will be shipped soon!

And how many get to say that! A very unique experience. Congrats!

I like the pic! Cool presentation.

Very nice!

I don't get that feeling from the look it his eye that I owe him money...at least not in this pic! ;)

The tsessebe is Africa's fastest antelope, IIRC.

Wolfshead, How did it perform on the range? What cartridge is the Tikka chambered in?

For sharp recoil, try a 700 gr bullet in a 510 Wells (460 Wby necked up) out of a Ruger No.3 rifle! That lever really smacks the middle finger! Even padded and gloved, it just hurts!

Yes, this is helping build the excitement for our trip next May! Our first leg of the trip will be in the Free State.

I have reload data from QuickLoad for the 115 gr Ballistic Tip with H and IMR-4831, using F210M primers and Winchester cases, w/ max pressures of 65K psi in a 22" barrel at: H-4831: max of 48.2 gr for 3015 fps IMR-4831: max of 45.4 gr for 3024 fps I have yet to try them. But I will be loading...

Since I have a VX-3 2.5-8x35 B&C on my LH Steyr Mannlicher Model M FS SE in 6.5x55, that is a great choice as recommended above! And I have a Kahles Helia 3-9x42 TDS on my Winchester Model 1885 Low Wall in 6.5x55, so another great choice of power range as recommended above too! Look forward to...

I like the XLR's. Wish I could find one in 338 Marlin Express!
