I use a small amount of red loctite.

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

I like it to be <10 but if it groups 0.5" at an SD of 14, I'm rolling with it.

I’m a fan of FFP for the purpose you describe. The key is finding a reticle that’s useable at low power if you’re in thicker wooded environments. That’s where illumination can be helpful. Having said that, I’ll contradict myself a bit by going with a SFP Nightforce 2-10 on my backcountry setup...

I bought 2 boxes from this batch as well. I found 29 of 40 rounds had some sort of defect material on them. Anyone know what this is and why it passed QC?

Oh wow, thanks for the heads up. I had planned on bringing one next year along with my rifle. Will check with my outfitter as well.

You will love it. I had the same debate and glad I went Alaskan.

I know several guys who successfully use 308. You’ll be fine, just keep it closer ranges. I’d probably make 300yds the max depending on bullet and speed.

Yep, what 375Fox said. This has been going on for years. I think he's a smooth talker and trying to save face. The bulk of his business is through DU and he doesn't want to jeopardize that.

I don't think he cares much. From the interviews I've seen with him, seems like just a hobby project for him. Very lackadaisical.

They make lower profile mounts that you may be interested in.

Recoil is significantly reduced, even more so when you add the brake that mine is capable of. I'm not a fan of heavy recoil and it makes my 375 very manageable. Sound suppression is also good. Not the quietest rifle given the larger bore, but much more pleasant to shoot. I'm very pleased with...

I'm a thunderbeast fan so I went with the magnus and it's great. I chose the S variant for a good balance of length/weight/suppression. They also offer a K variant which is even lighter and shorter if you prefer.

Yes, thank you for chiming in and it was a great reminder on this thread that I did select @JKO HUNTING SAFARIS for my 2027 safari and we are excited for the adventure! Thanks to all who responded here, I know JKO will take great care of us. Be looking for a hunt report some time after June...
