From what I read it is a production suspension. Not a cancelation, I would bet that remains to seen. Ruger is going to continue scheduled production runs through the end of 2026. Although Ruger did cancel the Left Hand 9.3 Alaskan Bush Rifle. Sad to see the company in a state of disarray.

I considered a 257 Weatherby, but my 25-06 does everything I need it to do. If I need a heavier bullet I move up in caliber. To borrow a line from Bob Seger. “Call me a relic, call me what you will / Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill /“ Today's calibers ain't got the same soul...

Ain’t nothin that a couple rolls of duct tape, flex seal, flex seal tape and a rubber band can’t fix. Not sure what the rubber band is for ya always need one.

I keep telling people that Zebra are not nice cuddly animals. They are mean and will bite your arm off if given a chance. Zebra taking on an airplane proves my point.

I would think a good ole 30-06 would the ticket. Since it was not listed I had to go with the 300 WM.

Keep it simple. Leupold VX5 or VX6 with CDS system. Range it, dial it, shoot it. Keep your hunting reticle simple and clean.

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

You may be better off passing on this deal. If I recall correctly the 458 1.5 was designed to be a suppressed military round. Close range sniping. The barrel twist may not be ideal for full power 458 WM. The original barrels where designed for the Winchester M70. A suppressed 458 1.5 could be...

We stoped at liquor store I. J’Burg. Picked up some SA Whiskey. Think it was Three Ships. They had several different proofs so we bought them all. Visit a local liquor store and drink local.

I would keep the Swede.

There is one in Gunbroker. Bit overpriced. You can always PM the seller and make an offer. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1205096590

Both Gunbroker and Guns international have several Left handed DG rifles.

First Safari I took my IPad, IPhone and a Nikon SLR. Second Safari I took my IPhone. For me the less electronics the better. I found I did not need to manage anything while on Safari. The only thing that would have come through was home security alerts. Unplug for a bit and enjoy the experience...

I was considering a Tika T3. The plastic bolt shroud, tigger guard and area around the magazine are plastic. None of those things affect the functionality of the rifle. That was a turn off for me. I have read that the T3X now has a metal bolt shroud.

Congratulations on getting your dream rifle. If you want to use the MB so be it. You want to shoot it suppressed so be it. Your rifle shoot it like you want to shoot it.
