Work-up to May 2023, SA plains game

Final update. Basically a week away now. Rifle and scope are dialed in. Off sticks at 100 yds. I'm managing 3" groups or so which is a dead animal by all accounts. I'm happy, I'm confident. I've probably put over 100 rds off the sticks of 300WM at this point which is enough to make me confident at that range. I've learned so much about the rifle, ammo, and myself.

I remember 2 years ago when this was just sort of a pipe-dream. Time went on, things came together. Now we are 7 days away. Granted, the clock feels like it has stood still for these last days.

Hopefully my next post will be reporting my success and a good trip over in the reports forum. Thank you to everyone for all the help!
Best wishes ! Keep us posted. We're all going hunting with you you know.

Will do. 2 days away now.

The wait is like being strapped to a lawn chair, watching grass grow, with the paint on your house drying.
 
Enjoy it hope time flies untill you land here in Joberg.
 
Good luck, I’m still a few weeks out.
 
I'm back and to say the experience was amazing is putting it lightly.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
