I have several pistols I carry at times or certain places. Day to day probably 90% of the time it’s a Glock 45 with some custom slide milling and a direct cut for irons in front of the rmr as I don’t like plates. Talon rubberized grip tape but otherwise trigger and internals are stock and...

I probably have 60 or so Norma. Mostly 1x fired but a few virgins I believe

Not a ported slide but I have a Glock 45 that has a Radian Ramjet barrel and compensator and it indeed works as advertised.

EDC knives for me are usually one of my micro techs, Zero Tolernace or benchmades

lots of guys have killed cape buffalo with the 300 tsx and a 450/400 or similar round so can’t imagine a brown bear walking very far with one in its chest either

The rheostat dial for the illumination is on the left side of the scope and visible in the pictures (bottom)

I like the larger lens of the SRO. I would also suggest using a Jagerwerks BROS shield over it. Adds a ton of protection to the large lens. https://jagerwerks.com/bros/

I have a 416 Taylor being built currently and am debating what bullets to use. I do not know that this rifle will ever make it to Africa so it’s primary uses are likely to be black bears, elk and just shooting for fun. I’m currently leaning towards either the 350 tsx, 370 woodleigh SS or the...

My 8x68S shoots the 185 Core-lokt’s into 1/2” groups at 2985 fps from the 21” barrel. No pressure signs at all and a very handy rifle/round

My thoughts as well. Had I seen the OP’s rifle for sale I likely wouldnt be going down the Taylor road but already have brass enroute and dies in hand

I recently bought a LAW 7 mag to do essentially the same thing though I don’t have enough magazine box to build the REM Mag so going with 416 Taylor

My experience matches yours. I’ve sent several leupolds back. I have 20+ NF and 6-8 Trijicons and never had the first issue with any of them regardless of what they are one. Hell I have had an NXS 2.5-10 on a a couple flyweight 375”’s and over 500+ rounds of heavy 300 tsx have never had an issue.

I have cut 3 rifles over 375 and every time I’ve seen 20-25 fps per inch. Negligible loss for handier rifle

I love my SRO’s for the bigger screen but all of them have the Jagerworks metal jackets/covers which solved the durability concerns

Also if anyone has 416 Taylor brass I would be interested as well.
