Yes, only those in their "right minds" get to play! ;)

I'll keep her in mind!

I'll let you know if I have weak moment and decide to sell my LH Sako 85 Finnlight II in 338 Federal...but it may take a decade or two!

Hey Don, I'm sure that I have a LH rifle that would tickle your fancy on your next African adventure! As I may need a hunting companion to go back with me next year (Susan is done with Africa and is saying I cannot go without a hunting companion) so that I do not lose my funds for our cancelled...

Our PHs love the 6.5 CM! They regularly take wildebeest, kudu and even an eland with them. The eland was one and done on a double lung shot with the bullet completely passing through the old bull. But they also use the 270 Win, 30-06 and 308 Win on a regular basis on all the plains game. Mostly...

Nice mass on those antelope!

We all have those moments...But you got the job done, and that's what matters!

Adds to the adventure!

Nice mass!

My Leica Geovids went in my carry on bag on all of my trips (Africa X2 and New Zealand). Not just for security, but also so they didn't get abused by baggage handlers. (Susan had her Kahles in her carry on too)

Well, I am finally getting a 338 RCM! Found a LH Ruger wood/blued with the 20" barrel for sale here in Canada (first I have found since they introduced the rifle and cartridge). Finished paying for it, the dies and the brass today, and it will be shipped after I get out of the hospital and will...

Make sure his knives are sharp and the cooler is plugged in ready to hang his deer!

As I have a 6.5 PRC as well as the 6.5 CM, I see no need for me to try the Peak ammo, as I will just carry the other rifle if I feel I need the extra velocity and energy on a hunt. But with proven on-game performance on a red stag ay 296 yards with the 130 gr Terminal Ascent ammo, (not to...

I really like the nutmeg laminated stocks, and adding ebony forends and grip caps adds an extra touch of class (at least in my opinion!).

We'll not forget this adventure anytime soon!!! Susan says she is done with Africa, but I know that I will return. She says I cannot go alone! I need to find someone to go with me... Want to go to the Limpopo next for eland, Limpopo bushbuck and honey badger. I will return to hunt again at...

Very nice! I think that you definitely used "enough gun"!:devilish: I still want to shoot like you when I grow up! 😎 It is amazing how accurate the 416s can be; my Taylor will put 3, 350 gr TSXs into 0.400" @ 100 yards at 2415 fps with 69.0 gr of Re-15. 3 more grains should get me to 2503 fps...

I too went with the Garmin after years of using a Chrony. Best investment I have made in shooting in a long time. Love it!

With the bullets and weights mentioned, not sure you would need more freebore...but if you were to play with the heavier Bergers, you might want it. But I think that you will be very happy with the performance of the 150-165 gr bullets with a normal chamber in your barrel, both in velocity...

The 30-30 will do what you are looking for just fine. (And yes, there have been many Canadian moose harvested with the 30-30 over the decades, along with bear and antelope.) It is a fun rifle and cartridge to shoot and hunt with! The WInchester 94 is a little sleeker and lighter than the...

Hope you have a great adventure!
