Have fun in the preparation, that is part of the experience, but don't stress about it all. I have never dialed a single time for a shot in Africa, I can't imagine that is going to happen. People obsess about this stuff, just practice off sticks and have a great time.

On my M70 in 416 rem I have a VX6 1-6. It worked very well for me on a DG hunt in Zim last summer.

48 grains of CFE223 and a 168 TTSX is a great load for me and I would hunt any PG with it. But 308 win is about as forgiving as it comes, 4350 and varget will most likely get you want you need, along with a long list of other powders. You are going to get some negative feedback on the ELDx...

I wouldn't 850 for a gold medal impala or blesbok, but everyone has different things that interest them.

Where you want to hunt in Zim will play a role in who would choose, many top notch outfitters in Zim. With a bit more details about what you have in mind, people could quickly help narrow it down a bit.

Take that one and don't think twice about it.

It would be no issue to do just that, are you using a travel agent or a agency to help you with the rifle permits?

I just built one and I paid a bit over 200 for an original barrel.

Touching at 75m is about as close to perfect you will ever get, that's the winner.

I am not suggesting you change anything you have done, but I have a Dakota 76 with the narrower swivel stud hole. All my other Dakotas use the American style, it just depends on how they were ordered at the time they were built.

You, and the animals, aren't going to know the difference. I would probably use the aframes, but if a 300wm using a bonded bullet isn't good enough, I give up, I will just bow hunt from now on.

I am overflowing with rifles I plan to do stuff with, or I would buy this in a second. There is zero chance it will ever be worth less.

Post 64 Win for me.

Jon builds a fine rifle, this will be excellent, I have zero doubt.

I trust they can take a hell of a beating. I have one on a pistol that has many 1000s of rounds through it, I know that isn't the same recoil, but cumulative impacts break stuff also and it is still as solid as day one.

I have a 280ai and with a 160gr quality bullet, it is about all I need for the vast majority of the hunting I do. I'm not a one rifle kinda of guy, but it is a chambering that would cover a huge about of ground if it was all a guy had.

I'll take it

I copied @Philip Glass and cut two of the four lock holes off my case. So now I only use two locks and carry plenty of extras.

Best for the money is LaRue, in my opinion. You can get a better trigger, for some applications, but you can't get one better for under 100 dollars, or at least I haven't found one.

I love their stuff, I have several of their uppers, including a 6.5CM that is as accurate as any off the shelf bolt gun I've ever had. Their triggers are also the best value in triggers and it isn't close. For under 100 bucks, nothing comes close.

Last time I was on the ranch, I saw one of these things at maybe 300-400 yards, and it still looked like an f'ing volkswagen beetle. I have no clue what that thing would weigh, but it was a lot.

You have many very good options, you are going to be able to talk many outfitters that can provide a great hunt, you just need to pick the one you are most comfortable with. I like to hunt with my friends, so it is important for me to like the outfitter and PH, if I don't like them personally, I...

I shot a Blue 4 times with a 280, the third shot was a running shot and I hit him in the jaw. He stopped for a second to look back and I was able to finally get a 4th that was on the money. The first two both existed through both lungs, not perfect shots, but within the range of "good". I would...

This is exactly right, my work product it very easy to see. Success and failure are often news and always the topic on Q earnings calls. I can't hide, and no one cares how many hours it takes to do the job.

Buy a 5/8-24 and a 3/4-24, then just return the one that doesn't work. However, it would be cheap and better to just cut it and re-crown.

I have an money belt, it is the belt I wear everyday on hunt, so it is always with me. Then I have a very slim pouch around my neck, when I put it under an undershirt, you can't see it. I then carry in my pockets the rest, easy to take 9k+ that way. Our trip last year had nearly all of us...

I don't leave the country without bringing about as much as I can.

That is really well done, I love it.

I could bring it to you in Nashville?

If anyone wants to do a awesome PG hunt, this is truly a fantastic deal. These are prices that were a great deal several years ago, you aren't going to beat this value. Marius could walk a mule to death, so if you want to grind it out for something truly special, I guarantee you will wear down...

I let the big ones go on for the next guy....

Sorry I am going to have to miss it, Dave and the folks at Dos en Dal are great hosts.

9.3x62 is plenty, but all other things being equal, I would use the 338. No way I would hunt with a 6-24x scope, but that is a very easy fix.

I don't have any of the 147gr, but I use HST for my carry load and I have never had a Glock that it didn't shoot well. Someone with your handgun shooting skill is going to have zero issues, but I agree an function test with the intended carry ammo is a must.

You are going to have an absolute blast with Marius, he and his team are outstanding people.

I would use 180 if it shot the same, but I highly suspect you will not notice one bit of difference from 168 to 200gr.

I wouldn't even think twice about, a 140gr TSX is plenty for what you need.

Just did a full set on a Yukon, absolutely insane.

I hope so, I usually do the the same thing, end of year for the current year model.

They sure the hell won't be any cheaper in a few years. I have a 2016 F250 that was around 70 new and I said I will never pay more than that again, now used one would be 70 and a new one 90.

I am afraid those days are either gone or quite a way into the future.

Yeah, I would have told them to piss off also. If someone is dropping 5k, they can send a photo.

Choice ammo has some, very good stuff.

You said you ask similar questions, do you think it is a ridiculous question? I just assumed some smart ass teenager wrote the response, I was pretty surprised when an adult actually admitted to it.

But did you get a jackass response when you asked?

A moderator will be happy to delete this, if you ask them.

I have no doubt it was under an MOA, that setup is going to well shoot well, no question. I already have a 300prc hunting rig, or I would jump on this. You didn't cut any corners at all, everything is top notch stuff.

A 10" will work, most likely. If you have some altitude, it should be fine for sure.

Your guy doesn't know what he is talking about.

How did it shoot the Hornady ammo? Was the it ELD M or the ELD X?
