I try to take my son every 2 or three years to Africa. Next year it is Botswana. What gets to me is not the price of the hunt , it is the other costs added to hunt costs. Flights Overnight in joberg Hunt Hunt tips- +/- 10% Dip/pack Air freight to seattle Seattle Coppersmith import fees and...

Pricing is very dependent on extras; wood quality etc. a plain Jane 5-6k

I paid $7500 for this gun in 270 , including Swarovski scope on guns international 60 days ago

Maybe a 6.5 PRC shorter 22 inch barrel threaded for suppressor. 270 also a good versatile caliber . It’s really the bullet you put in it that matters just as much.

I agree . Last year I shot 500-600 gophers with my favorite ruger 77 17wsm.

I like my 280AI for everything. Went to Africa last fall and hunted deer /elk speedgoats here in Montana. I continue to add to my Dakota collection but all I need is the “Traveller model at this point and finding that model is expensive ! I am very close to done with adding guns . P.S. If you...

Africa sky has a vip service that handles everything and they have really nice lodging and meals cooked to your specifications.

I have same Christensen ridgeline fft in 280 ai but barrel is 22 inches and I use a 5 inch Thunderbeast suppressor. Great rig ! Shoots under 1 inch/ 100 yards Have same rig in 6.5 PRC and is also excellent Good luck with your sale.

Light and fast= 25.06 for deer and antelope or 280ai for deer ,antelope, elk

We have fought cancer as a family and know a lot more about it than I ever wanted to know. My advice is stay with your wife until you know your in the clear and the visit Africa.

I am looking for a left handed 25.06 for my son for Christmas. Moderately priced … if anyone has one they would like to part with please let me know. Thank you rick

Any brand of quad sticks. Supporting the back end of the rifle improves accuracy. They are easy to use once you get used to them. Rudolph sells them for around 100 bucks direct. Viperflex are the carbon Cadillac 3-400. I have both and if PH is carrying them who cares how much they weigh.
