Nice! Look forward to your report. I didn’t realize how large sambar could get and a Water Buffalo hunt will be epic!

I was a big admirer of A-Square Ammunition which we used on our first African Safari. LtCol Alphin was a very accomplished individual who made some notable contributions in the ammunition and firearms industry. R.I.P

Since @Spartan5 just mentioned cost effective ammunition holders for 4 people I just threw in an additional belt too. It really depends on how much he wants to spend. I’m certain there are old threads on this subject too. I like custom leather cartridge belts with sewn in elastic loops for DG...

Could JJ add a mercury recoil reducer to add another 8 to 16 oz of weight or would that adversely affect the balance?

Don’t forget to add the $150 shipping then taxes, and various fees so the total out the door cost would be closer to $5200. Is it worth that? Maybe, it seems like the CZ 505 Gibbs sell for more. I’m not sure if they are comparatively equal in value?

Congratulations to seller and buyer, excellent price and value.

Online Gun Auction Etiquette I’m sure I will get flamed for this and that’s fine. Instead of just beating around the bush, I’ll just clearly state my 2 cents. You’re welcome to bash me I’m a big boy. Lol I have to wonder if folks truly understand how GB online auction works? It’s a hybrid...
