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...

I’ll second the thunderbeast magnus series at your preferred length. I went with the S variant and find its a great balance of length, weight, and suppression.

Was this a one time run or something they’ll do again?

Welcome! Central AR here.

Beautiful! I ended up with an M70, got tired of waiting on a tsavo and was friendlier to the budget.

Need to see pics of the gun! I’m in the suppressor camp as well. Have one on my 375, makes it much more tolerable.

Here’s my take, more of an industrial look. Hand crafted by yours truly.

So they still should be listed on the 4457 though correct?

Ooo, standing by for a 416......

This gets brought up from time to time and I'm a fan. I did a build thread on here which you may find interesting. I had my barrel chopped and threaded which improved balance and really didn't affect velocity as much as some folks would have you believe.

JG does actually offer a narrower last on their customs. It’s called the Ashley men’s last ASHM. I’ve thought about ordering a pair to try because I find their standard rangers a bit too wide. Customer support tells me the standard AR last is a 2E and the Ashley last is a true D, with a...

They are not waterproof. I treated mine before my trip and walking through wet grass for a while will soak through. Fortunately I had another pair of boots to use while they dried out. Once leather is soaked, it takes quite a while to dry.

I would (and did) choose trijicon over leupold for their current reputation. I also have a few NF scopes and tried the nx8 1-8 but the eye relief didn’t quite work out on my M70. Ended up switching it to a gas gun and went with an accupoint 1-6 on the M70.
