I have the African still in the box, but passed the test with a 5 shot group in 9,3x62, and back in the box, My right hand and age is getting worse at handleing recoil, so I will probably put it on the classifieds, Its a classic..Im having a REm 721 rebored to a whelen, hope it works but I can handle my 30-06s so for,

I would be interested in a 9.3x62. If you decide to pass it on, let me know!
 
I think that a lot of us will be interested in the 9.3 if you decide to sell it!

I just left the range with my 35whelen Lipseys, (yeah I shot it, couldn’t take setting it back) and it is getting very close to getting the final load/loads wrapped up. I am liking it so far!

Started with varget. I have tried 225 ballistic tips, Norma 250 oryx, and swift 280 aframes. So far varget 56.0 and Norma oryx are winning in accuracy. I start with two shot groups testing. If two aren’t close it won’t get better with three. Once I get decent group I go back and try a few 3-shot groups, tweak it here and there. I really wanted the 225 bullets to do well. I have a 9.3 that likes everything I put thru it 250-286, not picky and speed is always there. I wanted the 35 to shoot 225’s and bridge gap between my 300win mag and 9.3x62 and 9.3x74r. Also mainly to have a cool kick ass looking Africa style rifle to play with at times

That's interesting, so they take new scopes and cerakote them gloss black? Retaining the gold ring too... that is a nice option for the guys that want a traditional look. Would be interested to see pictures of your African 35 all dressed up for the dance.

I have the lipseys African in 9.3x62, 280AI and now the 35. The 9.3 is scoped and I think that will be the next one to take the trip over with me. That one is dressed with a vari-x 3 I had on hand that was gloss.

I'm not sure if this new scope will go on the 280 or 35. But yes, it has the gold ring and you literally cannot tell that it was taped off. There is one spot on the scope that if held in the light at the right angle, you can see some slight dimpling, like where the finish didn't get sprayed heavy enough and lay flat, but I'm a perfectionist, so I'm not surprised that I picked it apart until I noticed some minor imperfection lol.

The problem is, now that you've seen that spot, you can't un-see it... lol.
 
Could you post some pics of the scope? I am very interested in doing a couple of my scopes now. I looked at their website and it was only $100. They had like 90 colors in stock, but I just was gloss black
 
I handled one of the new 35’s today at the LGS. Vdry nice rifle. If I can find a 416 I may just try to do a 2 gun battery :)

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
