My FN in 318WR has arrived

As someone with a .330 barrel blank, this is the goal for a finished rifle. It’s exquisite. What is the front sight? It looks a lot cleaner than the usual NEGC
The sights are actually vintage Westley Richards that I happened up on eBay
 
Fantastic. Where are you headed to in Zim? I’m sure you break her in right. Congrats on such a functional piece of art.
 
Headed to Zim in October for the maiden voyage
Watch out. Snakes should be very active in October. Beautiful rifle. Interesting cartridge. I'll have to check it out. Standard length action? You didn't say what it was built on.
 
Matetsi 2 , with lots of PG on license
I suspected as much. Great area, no doubt. Hopefully you’ll get a crack at one of those giant reedbuck I saw there in 2024. I was more than a little disappointed when there was no more quota left when I was there. Looking forward to reading all about it.
 
I was able to shoot it in the white a few times …View attachment 740735
Firstly, good accuracy there, the 318WR is an accurate cartridge
Secondly (and I’m not implying anything, it just reminded me) there was , maybe still is, a magazine article author who would always put a coin on the target to show how accurate the rifle was and how good of a shot he was, except he didn’t quite cover the flyers in one picture

I’ve heard of that being done (and it’s a good “trick”) , and no implication taken!

Be careful of hunting Chewore South, the area has been decimated.....


Curious about this. I hunted Chewore South with D&Y in September and they did tell me it was there last hunt there.

Which outfits shot it out?
Impala cull hunt for camp meat!
