I don't mean lost ammo, but the availability properly headstamped brass will be a concern for the 416T. However I will admit the 404J is better in this regard, but the factory loaded options are limited. For someone who doesn't reload, it has to be on the list of concerns. Hope you find the...

Exactly what I did.

Yes, but it's with the PH stock and plain receiver, trigger group...etc. The Selous package is going to run the price up a bit. At least 4 to 5 times that price.

None of the above. Blaser Selous R8 in 416RM. Ammo availability of the 404J and 416T would give me pause. And a Blaser...because it's me.

I’ve taken the frontal heart shot and it turned into a 3-day rodeo because it was off by a fraction of an inch. Completely my fault and I’ve owned it. Given the same opportunity again, I’d do things differently.

It looks like I can fit the two R8's into a 1700 case and still have a little room for things like a knife and sling. I ordered the Pelican Re-Set kit and will report back once I give it a go.

Fair enough. My apologies for the assumption or remaining quiet.

@Tiger2001 - You sound like a complete gentleman, however you were not treated as such. I can’t help but think that there is a level of culpability on your part for tolerating their inexcusable behavior. I’m not saying you are completely to blame, but if you don’t voice your concerns or stand...

That is a most unfortunate turn of events and a good warning to others. Do you have any recourse for getting any money back? A signed contract for sole use of a property means something and your hunting party should AT LEAST be compensated for that.

Everyone has a preference but a golf club sized bag is not in my future. Hit ‘em straight my friend.

Congratulations! I hope your bank account understands that you've taken on financial burden of the African addiction, which will drain it dry faster than a hard drug habit. :D Cheers:

@Flipper Dude - I had a 1750 and will avoid going down that road at all costs. The overall size and weight of it makes getting around airports (or anywhere else for that matter) a chore that I'm not taking on anymore. If worse comes to worse, Mrs BeeMaa will be taking her own 1700 with whatever...

Having one rifle case with the option to change the interior according to the needs of a specific hunt is a problem of mine that I know others share. Over the years, I've seen a number of way to make this possible, but none have really been good enough for me to buy in. These two options are the...

@Doug3006 - Very well done. I do some woodworking and that is top notch work. That would be a wonderful piece to have as a safari operator. When taking a break in the shade, get it off the bakkie and set it up to keep the rifles handy if an opportunity comes along. The utility box on the...

@CZDiesel - Nice score on the Colonel T. Almost as nice as the Planet Ocean on your wrist. ;)
