Hello from Maine

Welcome to AH!
 
Greetings TrapperErick,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

I’ve barely heard of and so do not know much about the 6.5x68 cartridge.
Presumably it is in the general category of the USA .264 Winchester Magnum ?
Anyway, as 6.5 cartridges go, I am quite fond of the 6.5x55 Mauser, 6.5 Swede, 6.5 Scandinavian or whatever catchy name people want to call it.

6.5 MM cartridges are not well suited to the larger animals of Africa.
However, for the lesser antelopes and warthog, I believe it would be a real peach.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.

New guy here from Maine. Grew up reading about hunting in Africa and all the Jim Corbett books. Have a love and passion for the old German/European cartridges and love reading the posts. Joined to hopefully get some information on the 6.5x68.
Welcome To AH. They say the best hunters started off as trappers!

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

What is the minimum you would take.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
