I made an order for it as well. @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION would you get any other Norma products in 9.3/.366 with that order? Oryx, Vulcan etc.?

Thanks for the info, I may have to go for the Privi in the end.

Great collection. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing. I recently bought a Husqvarna 1640 in 9.3x62. Haven’t shot it yet, but waiting for @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION to offer some brass for it. Will have to do some work on it, but it’s a project I look forward to. I suspect my Africa Hunting days...

You’ll be fine. 165 grain Norma Oryx was the go to bullet for my .30-06 in Africa. It worked very well on Blue Wildebeest, Zebra and a whole variety of smaller animals like Nyala, Warthog, Bushbok and a bunch of Impala. Use any bonded bullet and it will work out great for you.

Great combo, basically a 7X57 on steroids, or like a 7x64, but not as fast as a 7mm Remington Magnum.

Received the wooden stock. All good. Thanks.

I'd like the wooden stock with extended length. PM on its way.

@Medicine Thanks for the entertaining report. I re-read it over the last few days and eagerly await the chapter when you went back for the Sable "next year". Hope to be able to read it soon. I have no idea who you (Ishmael) are, not sure I'd like to know either, adds a lot of mystery to the...

What bullets and weights are you all using? Anyone used TSX or Oryx? I have two thoughts for a standard setup. I had a Sako Vixen in Africa that shot well with V-Max and Prvi SP. Now I need something else for a Winchester I am waiting for.

One Ruger No1 in 303 British was just posted on a popular weapons auction site... Coincidence?

Thanks for getting and sharing the information with us. Very much appreciated. Well done!

That’s a kind offer to the forum. If you pass by the Winchester group it would be interesting if they will bring out some Model 70 Supergrade with walnut in the traditional calibers, .30-06, 270 etc. Thanks and enjoy the show

6mm Musgrave, if you would handload you could get the velocity you desire. Only one factory option available, PMP Brown box.

I have had great experiences with Norma Oryx. Keep together and deep penetration. For the 7x64 there are two weights, 156 and 170 grain. Perhaps try the 170grain. All the best and good luck.

Thanks for all the info and input. Haven’t thought of the shotgun route, although I have had combination firearms, both O/U and Drilling I’ve never shot any animal with the shotgun. May be something I need to look into. Bird hunting sounds interesting. Seems the consensus though is that I’m...
