Nice and swift move Phil. Congrats on a great gun! ... I saw the gun originally posted and thought it a bit high with the info provided. Then saw the extra bit of info regarding the neighbor and few shots I was sold and then saw you got it. I'm very happy for you and you saved me from explaining another gun to my wife. Who snuck up on me yesterday and peeked into the safe... Not good when she wanted to know if the other one was just as full.

A .300 is too small for you anyway Bob.

Uh oh. Somebody's in the dog house!
Is that a funny new hat or a cast iron skillet on yer head? And your man card is officially renewed for another year!

You know it is nice having a little break now and then.... I'm not completely gone over the cliff of big bore fanaticism as some we know.. I took my 300 Win mag Ruger express out the other day it was fun to shoot.

And just for fun I picked up a Marlin 338 MX last week and the seller told me how it was a hard kicker. That was really soft feeling as I shot those 505 Gibbs loads @matt85 made up first... Those were not as bad as some but still plenty spicy

I'm actually sitting back and admiring Phil's decisiveness!

Ok, enough of that, just got a message my CZ 404 came in and I can still go get her picked up tonight

 

[Royal27]

Ya know, sometimes it is actually nice being left handed just so these decisions are easier.

It would seem to me and I think the rest of the AH community would agree, can I get an amen please......that you owe me a rather tall beer!

If you decide to sell that one, you know who to call....

AMEN!!!! Great to keep it "in the family". That beer should be good and cold by the time DSC comes around.

AMEN +1
Seems like a small price to pay

You betcha... Looking forward to seeing all you guys in Dallas and damned right I'll buy a round!

In the mean time.....

 

[Heym 88]

Phil, I enjoyed our phone conversation!

 

[Heym 88]

Ida, if you don't mind me asking, what safari company are you going with?

did you want more recoil? im currently working on a load that pushes a 570gr Swift A-frame at 2300fps.

Don't mind a bit. I'm hunting with Numzaan Safaris. PH is Jean-Louis Viljoen. Jean-Louis has become a good friend, even though this will be our first hunt together. I was introduced about 5 years ago through a buddy of mine who had hunted with him several times. Since then we've gone shooting together, shared meals and introduced our better halves to each other as he and his wife Jana come to the states in winter. So it feels like I'm getting ready to go hunting with an old friend. With Lion and Leopard on the menu that is comforting feeling
Let me know if I can answer any questions or provide more info.
