Factory regulation vs 50 yards off sticks..

Be aware some jurisdictions may not allow FMJ, or in some cases, solids. However, had great success loading CEB solids for 6.5 and 300. Very accurate, deadly on the tiny antelope. Very close poi to softs.

But man, the city has valet parking!

Order ammo online, no one will know.

Love to see pictures of that rifle! ( still looking to see if I might have helpful info - sold mine ~10 years ago)

Buy it. Shoot it. Post pictures. We'll help you decide!

Some hunters collect both male and female of every species. Have seen trophy rooms with them all mounted lifsize...

Sabatti doubles should ship in October, available November, or so I was told...

Get 'em all, just add a 450-400 and a 500!

Talley. Clean look, strong as they come, no problems, great support.

Galazan 1/2"

No, max light would be at the lowest setting (50mm ÷ 3.5x = 14mm exit pupil - more than your pupil can use). Anything above 7x is making the scope exit pupil smaller than your eye's pupil. Try it in a controlled darkness situation like a dimly lit trophy room.

Man, I can't believe you opened the door for this group to come up with nicknames. Surely you have read how sick their postings can be? I guess it would get pretty boring, riding motorcycles counter-clockwise on a hill,,,, Best wishes!

RMR on a Trijicon qd base. As Mark said, replace the battery before a big event. (Even though it should last years!)

130 CEB R8, Creedmoor

Get healed up!

Best answer here is likely "it depends". The PH knows the situation. He/she has experience and training to make the best plan. Hopefully the hunter did some homework before choosing the PH. Different game, different terrain, different trackers, different clients... Let the PH decide.

Ohh, love those circle dots! Lightning fast target acquisition!

Varget works for me. A click or 2 back of Barnes max.

Btt

Someone needs this. Make an offer

Human eye pupil size approx 7mm in the dark. Riflescope exit pupil is basically objective lens÷magnification. (50mm objective @ 7x = ~7mm exit pupil.. 40mm@6×= ~6.6mm) any higher magnification reduces light transmission to your pupil) Summary = no reason to have more than ~6x or 7x...

Hey Masai, Wise man, gaining info before you go. Some good insights have already been mentioned. No doubt today's quality softs are great bullets for your quarry, but some thinking to consider: 1) you are hunting dangerous game, 2) things can go bad, 3) PH's get hurt/killed, 4) no help is on...

You can always use the solids for the tiny antelope, too!

Looks like a great example of : "Only accurate rifles are interesting"

Hey Pieter, no softs, but do have 50 600gr FMJ...

Rifle is available.

Federal 215 (or match) Rem LRM WW LRM CCI magnum Not a fan of using LR in a magnum (70+ grains of powder) When you find them, buy enough. Don't let a few cents apiece stop you. When you find a deal - let us know! Last week I found some RemLRM at the LGS for $100/1,000.

No wasted meat....

Meanwhile, on the Western front: Can anyone explain how much $34 trillion is? Are there possible scenarios to control this other than "new monetary policy of print more money"?

Sales tax counts, too. As do the taxes on utilities, phones, properties, vehicles, fuel, even your pets are taxed in a lot of areas.

As Habib said recently "sure, you can shoot the elephant with a bonded bullet, AFTER you know he is dead!" His skull is pretty thick. I'd use good solids.

Do not fire it! It could damage your 700!

I've made that mistake before!

Modern Sabatti seems to work fine

300 PRC would hammer plains game. Make sure your bullet is Africa appropriate. Ammo would have to travel with you. Buying 300PRC in Africa would be unlikely. Lost ammo can happen (only a few times, so far) but so can lots of other things! It's only a problem, if it's a problem...

Always use them when sighting in any magnum/heavy rifle. (Recommend doing everything possible to keep your brain from saying "this is gonna hurt" when in the field.) Never use them in the field.

The Rudolph's have worked for me on several trips. Would buy them again, but would compare to the rest of the market first.

PM sent. Good luck

Those are nice scopes!
