Thanks for the responses guys. I "accidentally" bought another rifle which is not a medium bore at all but was a fancy nancy, so I am going to suspend my search at this time. Wife will skin me if I drop more money at this time.

ill ask my outfitter. He's got POCs all over 4 countries.

Throw a roll of quarters in there for home defense!

Alot of these guys die with enlarged heart valves / arteries from years of steroids. Macho Man and the Ultimate Warrior come to mind. Of course Andre was just a walking heart attack of a guy. Sucks though. All my childhood wrestling stars are biting the dust.

Cardiac Arrest... We knew before they said it.

Been a rough week for old druggies and steroid users. The Hulkster dead at 71. We gotta bubble wrap Sting and the Undertaker.. They about the last ones left standing.

What do you usually shoot out of them? Factory or handloads? I found some vintage Norma that says 8x57J on the box. I will use it a few times at least.

Thanks for the explanation of the accronym . @BJH65 filled me in on the whole process behind the scenes. Learn something everyday.

I found some Norma 8x57 J vintage ammo for $25/box. I won't shoot it much (most likely) but will hunt a few times with it. Has the dual flip up leaf sites common to African rifles.

Welcome to the forum and good luck on your endeavors. Wish I would have done something of this sort while i was in college! Keep us posted!

At this point, my wife should just take my Credit card away, but she was pretty. Im a sucker for vintage. Im a sucker for octagonal barrels. Im a sucker for engraved metal. Well she had all three, so! I couldn't pry the 423 Mauser from the hands of @Lance Hopper, so I found my own lol.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is CBL ?

I really have no use for a big bore outside of Africa, however, a medium bore might do well for me. I have a 458 WM and it's not that pleasant to casually shoot. Anybody have a 375 stashed away in the corner? Doesnt need to be a Kimber or Tikka. Looking for a project more than anything...

It will definitely take all those cleanly with good shots. The wildebeest will be the toughest, but the -08 should handle it nicely. Good luck to yall!

I love seeing new members and old alike winning trips. Definitely a great addition to the site. Jerome has built a great site! Congratulations @Volodia We look forward to seeing your hunting report!
