Well we drifted the sites out (hard fine target sites) and installed a brass bead type front sight and a classic style rear sight vs the screw adjustment style.

Bottom shot was first, second shot was lifting to the next elevation, 3rd-5th was on the final setting, aiming at 6 on the black circle so hitting pretty much exactly where aiming. Need a slightly lower front sight so it’s not maxed on adjustment.

430gr at trapdoor velocities, 50yd distance. Elephants beware, .45-70 is ready for use :D

Good morning,
Did you hunt w Leeuwkop at their ranch or in Zimbabwe? The ranch looks awesome, but I'll be in Zimbabwe for buffalo and whatever else we dig up.
What did you hunt for?
Vaccines?
What rifle did you use?
I feel like I need a good cotton safari shirt and an ammo belt to make the hunt feel right!
How often did you shoot prior to going?
Did you use sticks for shooting practice?
