Its a remington 700ADL tactical

Unfortunately not, went right through.

Was shot at 70m

Finally took my first Animal with my new 6.5CM. Blue Wildebeest are Notorious for being tough, but was no match for the 142gr Nosler ABLR.

It is made of steel, but not heavy at all though. Its actually well ballenced and comfortable to carry. I am sure Aluminium would be lighter but unfortunately i cant weld alu. I must also admit that i was drawn to steel from the get go as i wanted a sturdy platform. Its only 10 x 10cm and 3mm...

I was just about to say the same! Being a South African and hunting every year its basically second nature shooting off of sticks. It would be wise to ask the PH what sticks he plans on using as there are many different types. And OP is correct in asking what to feel as there is a HUGE...

Completely off the African topic,but i would love to see @Bob Nelson 35Whelen build a chassis 35whelen come to think about it.

Other then being "slightly" uncomfortable on african stalks through thick bush, and "possible" legal issues regarding the folding stock. I dont see why people have an issue with stock vs chassis. The bullet (in this case a 30cal) is the same bullet exiting the rifle regardless of what the rifle...

It is no supprise that I bought my first rifle. No that i am waiting on my license (got to love South african law) I am doing research to pass the time. Altough I have been hunting for the past 6 years, it has always been with friends or family's weapons. This said, I have no clue as to the...

Congratulations, stunning animals!! Anything worthwhile is always worth the wait.

Ask 10 different people and get 10 different answers. But I want to know what the members thoughts are on barrel break in and cleaning. Growing up it was a no brainer. If you bought a new rifle you had to break in te barrel, and after every use ir hunting trip you had to clean your rifle. And...

Random question that entered my mind, how do you the members carry your rifle when in the bush? Lets exclude DG hunting for this as i believe the majority will not use a sling when DG hunting. However for PG I was wondering who used slings over the shoulder and who carried their rifles in their...

Zastavas are built like tanks and extremely functional.

I recently bought a 6.5CM for the same reason as what the OP has enquired about. The main point which i think most people who posted are missing is thatbhe is looking for a rifle for the KIDS. I had all the same questions regarding the CM vs 260 vs swede. What was the deciding factor for me was...

If i may ask, why do you want to put a 3 position safety on? I like the 2 position that remington comes with.
