@gearguywb congratulations on getting it sold, sorry about derailing your thread a bit but glad it all works out in the end for Rare Breed

Congratulations, that is a beautiful rifle and a good buy. Now let’s hear some stories of game taken! As a side note, sorry I kind of derailed the thread with the scammer story from GB on a similar rifle but without the extra nice wood. The scam photos on GB I found posted also on Guns Intl and...

Beautiful rifle, I just bought a M70 featherweight in 7x57 this afternoon off of GI from a Cabelas in Omaha. GLWS

Welcome to the group

The story I reported yesterday about the Gunbroker post I saw that they removed after my questioning it was obviously a scam. Today I found the same gun on GI with the same pics posted by a Cabelas store selling the rifle

I’ll try to leave one for you! My buddy going with me hunted with NKWE last year as well. He said he saw numerous 57-58” kudu so those guys ought to be approaching 60” or better this year hopefully

Congrats hope you have a great trip and get the trophies you desire who will you be hunting with? I will be in Botswana and then RSA while you are there

I bought some Rudolph’s after using them in the Eastern Cape in 2022. I really like mine but I’m guessing all of the quad sticks are pretty similar

Good luck on your hunt, look forward to a trip report!

I would budget $4000 at a minimum for D&P, shipping and customs clearance. May be closer to $4500-5000

Welcome, based on your wish list I would recommend looking at outfitters in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, they would have all of the species you mentioned. Limpopo would be another option. Several good outfitters on here as sponsors. A few to start looking at would be KMG, Game 4 Africa...

@Rare Breed, please buy this rifle. I’ve been itching to buy it for three weeks now and really don’t need another right now. You will save me the temptation!
