I may have a chance to purchase one at a very nice price, pending inspection and verifying that it is the rifle that I believe it is (modern, assembled in SC). So here is the question: Are there forum members who own them, have you hunted Africa with them, and do they work well in the environments in which you have hunted? I ask this because this forum is a great place to see high-end rifles, custom builds, but there is, shall we say, less emphasis on tales that involve production guns. My life is at a point where I could pick up this serviceable gun and go hunt, or a high end gun and then not hunt because I would be flat broke. And truth is that I could not even afford the high end gun, come to think of it.
I would not mind hearing success stories, or information about glitches like "that model is picky about what bullets it likes", "make sure you take a big bottle of oil and a full cleaning kit because it hates dust and grit", or "mine was so prone to jamming that I sold it and got a CZ." My guess is that it performs as well as the person shooting it, but would love to have some verification. I am simply not that familiar with this model.
Thanks,
Jeff
