I've been meaning to put together a RimX to drop in my MDT chassis.

Stone Sheep, no contest.

I've not done this specifically for Africa.. I keep a list of hunts and outfitters I'm ready to go with, about 12. I keep a relationship with them and talk to them 2-3 times a year if possible and make sure they know what I want to do and how much I'm willing to pay. I'm not trying to take...

Yes, familiar from both sides. You have to have exquisite detail but the buyer is still going to haggle it or discount the multiple. Any proof you have it was not a legitimate business expense is also evidence for your tax trial. Happy to avoid either. Great bull by the way!

This is completely amateur and perhaps a good option for someone with a glorified job with overhead. Not real businesses. If someone owned a network of companies and one of them was an outdoor consultancy with youtube channels, social channels, and writing they could write off ALL of their...

Dang. I've got a steel receiver, Custom .458 Lott barrel, and a swaro Z8 .75-6

It's a luxury expense, no sense bemoaning it. I'll worry about the cost of Africa when I can no longer sheep hunt...

Sweet baby Jesus!

So a .308? Seriously though your rationale makes sense. After seeing rail cars full of heirlooms on GB I've given up on all of the passing down idea's. Even the sparkly ones can be re-barreled and refinished fast so I shoot what I like. I go though 2 or 3 barrels a year and haven't had anything...

Sure thing. 3 friends with failed eco's? Sounds like a curse, the 5.0 is 1.4% more likely to suffer catastrophic failure inside 300k from 2015-2025 than the 3.5 EB. Wax poetic all you like of the 460 or even 454 Chevy, we had a few of both on the farm and spent lots of time towing and hauling...

An Ecoboost has more torque, a wider torque band, engine braking, etc. As for RPM cartridges, I told Adam Weatherby himself the the .338 solved a problem nobody had. This sentiment goes double for the .25. Weatherby is looking for a way to be relevant and they are, but only just barely.

Once I got the Garmin I've been avoiding, the sparklies haven't been out of the safe.

These stories are the reason I haven't gone.. But how many people can say the did a piece in Russian jail?

I'll hunt elephant once I get a much older and a bit fatter and Kankles prevent me from hunting sheep and goats.

Hard no. I did enjoy shooting off one in 2018 in Namibia. Since then I've been heavily into PRS shooting. After making over 1000 shots a year off of wobbly props in contorted positions from 500-1100 yds racing the clock I find it difficult not to laugh at how I viewed marksmanship and how to...
