As others have mentioned the technical details in setting back the barrel. The only way it would look right is to do a completely new stock etc So just shoot as a x64 or download to x57 level or sell it and build the rifle you want. If it was mine I would just shoot it or sell it if I just...

It can be done, But why :Banghead:

Like most the africa bug bites, you have the second safari planning started around the firs on the last night around the fire and have your list by the time the plane lands in your home country. Congratz on a great first safari.

The elephant engraving is exquisite.

Safe travels, shoot straight and often.

Nice buffalo, congratulations. :A Bravo:

Nice sable and the groups are having great success it looks like. Congratulations

@Philip Glass Thank you for sharing! There are some good people in this world!

I have no problem with it's looks. not the classic stock style but a hybrid blend of old and new. if I read this right it is a switch barrel bolt gun, Not straight pull like the R8? Has a cocker decocker saftey. I would compare it more to the Dakota traveler concept than a R8.

Any one of the 3 will work. My wife and I both have 338RCM's great little round. Looks like you aren't reloading for it. The SST lacks big time in a factory bullet. If you were reloading any of the premium bullets would work. The rifles are short and very handy. The 338WM is a better choice...

@MontanaGrant has helped me out on several occasions. I have a long action M70 feather weight stock with no cracks , just needs a recoil pad. That whoever buys the 7x57 can have. Just need a address for the buyer so I can ship. Have a great weekend everyone.

Congratz!!! you earned your cat.

Will a 9.3x74 kill a cape buffalo? the short answer is yes. I have shot many african animals (Diker to Eland) with a 9.3x74 in a TC encore, Ruger #1, and my favorite rifle a Chapuis RGEX. These should be two different discussions. Since the single shot can be loaded to much higher...

You bought well. It is a rifle that will serve your needs for a long time. I would advise your first couple shots be off sticks. I have bought a very good number of 338 and bigger rifles that have one or two rounds out of the first box of shells shot. Some one stepped up from a 243-308 and...

The female elephants, buffalo, and lion's are referred to as the "Bitch's of the Bushveld" for a good reason.

I have watched a few of this guys youtube posts on hunting/culling baboon and monkeys. He is a precision rifle guy. There are much better powders than Varget for the 45/70. The 45/70 is one of my favorite rounds. I would hunt anything in North America with it the only place I would feel...

Congratulation. Beautiful location. looking forward to you complete report.

Congratulation on your elephant! I commend you on your patience and determination. Very good report with a very engaging writing style.

Couple quick questions just for my curiosity. Did you sink a bore hole for water? Solar for power? What is the list of animal that are hunt-able in camp? Things look great!!!

Those will both hunt so to say. In my Begara B14 HMR 22lr I have found that the SK long range have given me the best results or that ammo I have shot so far. You might try the SK and laupua ammo in your BMR

As most have said what has worked for them. I reload with my weak hand and hold with my dominate hand as I have been doing that with SxS shotguns for almost 60 years it is kinda ingrained in muscle memory. So try the practice reloading both ways and see what works best for you. On triggers I...

Alaska is a fickle mistress on a good day and a stone cold wench in league with Mr Murphy on others. But Africa and Alaska are the two places on this planet when I set foot in them the earth says "WELCOME HOME"

Rifle is sold pending funds.

Interesting rifle. Tikka makes a very accurate platform. Did it start as a 7Rm or 300WM before the rebarrel?

Others have covered most of what I would say. Like @Tim Blackwell we have hunted with @KMG Hunting Safaris several times. Hunted with @BLAAUWKRANTZ safaris both in the eastern cape and was worried about the fences but they have very large properties and we saw the fence when we arrived and...

Congratz on the Croc's most impressed with the work your PH team and yourself did to get within double rifle range of a big croc! Leopards are the ultimate chess match. I have a friend that too 6 tries to anchor his cat. and I was struck with the luck of the Irish hunting gods and got mine on...

Congratulation on a very successful 1st safari, have fun planning your second. You PH is correct you shot a tank of a waterbuck!!!

My wife has had 2 birthdays in Africa, Enjoyed every minute as she put it. Did sightseeing, spa and she spent most of her time hunting.

Nice kudu and bushbuck Marius

Just remember if a journalist/reporters lips are moving or fingers typing they are 99.999% lying. Worse than lawyers or politicians.

Very well done video. And a PROPER Buffalo. that bushbuck was also very nice. Nice safari my friend!

Cheers for the Hurts and rigby! Another idea might be to make rhino horn replicas out of grey viagra and sell for a 1/4 the price as syenthic horn to Asia. Just a thought

My wife used a red dot on her 375 last year for buffalo. and was successful.

You are correct I was talking the Nosler BT, I haven't used a E-tip . Thank you for the catch on my mistake between the two.

Congratulations on a very successful safari. I commend you on how to prioritize and save for your safari (1st of many) I am very envious that you were able to do this hunt with your dad, uncle, and great uncle. Job well done!!!

Congratz on a nice buff. Looking forward to hearing about yours and your wife's buffalo. Who is the maker on your double?

Thank you for a copy of the permit. will need it in a couple months.

Without going down the rabbit hole of loading to the same PSI level and yada yada interior ballistics. You want to get a 9.3x64. A gunsmith can pull the barrel, put it in the lathe and rechamber to x64 in most cases. Then the magazine follower might need to be changed. The bolt face will...

TWO that I can think of. 1. When hunting my suni last year we were in a riverine area walking elephant trails and came around a bend and the tracker, PH, and myself saw the backend of several female elephants with little ones at about 20 yards, luckily the wind was from them to us. So we backed...

Prayers for those in the way of the storms.

Rifle is SPF

Very seldom do I get annoyed or pissed off but @Ontario Hunter you just managed to push all the right buttons. Unless you are from the hill country or spent a lot of time there making statements without understanding the situation you are as bad a the left wing press. When you have a once...

It's yours. we are traveling and will be back in a couple days so will get it shipped early next week.
