I have been collecting 83's and 87's. I have one magnum receiver, and complete rifles in .22 Hornet, .223, .22-250, .243, .270, 7mm-08, 7mm Rem Mag, .30-06, .405 Win, .45-70, and 12 gauge smoothbore (slugs).
I love these rifles; they are accurate, light, and break-down for easy carry/transport. I have some extra barrels: .223 (1), .243 (1), .270 (2), 7mm Rem Mag (2), and .30-06 (3). I was thinking I might send a couple off to JES to have them rechambered/rebored, but have yet to make the call. Some of the calibers I am interested in, considering, are .250 and .300 Savage, .35 Remington, .358 Win (or .35 Whelen), .338-06, .375-06, .416 Taylor. I am not entirely certain I want a .338 Win Mag, or a .375 H&H; the. 405 and .45-70 are tolerable, but I think the recoil velocity of the .338 Win Mag might be a bit much in a light rifle like this. I am interested in your thoughts.

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
