Model 70-super express vs safari express?

I picked up a set of Model 70 Safari Express iron sights for my Springfield two years ago. Lots to like. Both front and back sights mount with screws instead of solder so easy to install, get rid of, or replace if damaged. The rear sight does fold flat and is adjustable all ways. Folding flat may be important if a low power scope is mounted. Also great if there's a long ride in the saddle to hunting camp. Flip the blade down and throw the gun in scabbard. The one downside is adjusting windage can be a bit tricky as the rear sight platform does want to wander when locking screw is tightened. Nevertheless, I was so impressed I bought a second set of these sights for the 404 Jeffery I'm building on Mauser 98.
 
I could never get along with the M70 Classic stocks, so all of mine (280AI, 300 NM, and .375 H&H) are restocked.

The solution to .375 magazine capacity is an extended magazine by Sunnyhill, like the one on my .375 below.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
