Dude those are great trophies. I don’t care about the measurements, they are good old animals with good length, good mass, and good color. As long as the hunting was good and didn’t look like they just came from a wild game auction, then I would be very happy.

https://www.africahunting.com/threads/6-5-for-the-largest-game.86817/#post-1310801 I have only tested the 140ECX/ GMX in the 6.5 creedmoor. Velocities were good to okay given the bullet’s bearing surface and intrusion into the case. Accuracy was excellent. I have only killed one whitetail doe...

Haha “a story”… Brother, I lived that story. I’m a rifle guy through and through. I’m left handed. I really wanted to take my own rifle. I ended up with a right handed hill country rifle in 300WM with a swaro scope and a great fryer and devick suppressor, but I would have rather had my Blaser...

I’m confident that Airlink can carry firearms. It was a Qatar airways problem. Multiple travel agents at DSC said they had found out about Qatar’s change and had people in the field when it happened.

I just flew IAD-DOH-JNB-PE April 9th and back April 20th. I was told in January, February, and March that since my last flight was operated by Airlink that I would not be allowed to transport firearms on Qatar. They kept telling me to call back in case the rule changed. I ended up renting a...

I have a MK5 6-lug backcountry guide in 280AI- I love the rifle. I hate the cerakote on the bolt, it’s sticky. Dad has a vanguard talon in 300WBY- awesome rifle, super accurate. Had to have the chamber honed due to failure to eject using factory ammo. Done under warranty quickly. Brother and...

140 Nosler Partition and don’t look back. I’ve killed springbok, oryx, zebra, sable, waterbuck, warthog, Nyala, and impala with a 9.3x62 and 258 hammer bullets. Of those animals the only ones I would even hesitate with on with a 140 partition at 2900-3000fps would be sable and waterbuck.

I saw many fallow deer but none of them made my jaw drop like the mouflon. I’m headed to the east cape in April so maybe fallow deer will catch my eye there.

My choice was mouflon in Spain

Check out AB suppressors. I know they make 375 in the raptor but I don’t know about 416. I have personally shot an AB10 with 5” reflex and it was simply awesome. Also Rex silentium makes large diameter suppressors and custom diameters/lengths Shooting a 30-06 Blaser with light weight carbon...

Over the barrel (except the new dead air xeno OTB) are still Direct thread. For the most part I have read that OTB suppressors generally have a deeper tone and less muzzle forward mass and length. Inch for inch and ounce for ounce a muzzle forward can will have better suppression given the same...

I’m interested in DbA at shooters ear for the OTB models

For young people and those of shorter stature don’t forget that a shorter LOP magnifies the weight of the barrel by creating a longer lever in front of the balance point. But… shorter barrels have more concussion. Concussion will cause more tendency to flinch than recoil itself. Consider a...

Winchester Alaskan (looks a JM Switzer modifications) Interarms Whitworth used Sako Winchester super express Zastava In that order. I love my zastava M70 9.3x62 but it required some TLC to get it perfect. The Winchester super express is overly heavy for a 375H&H
