trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group...

+1 on 1x6x24. I have the VX6 HD ,Gen 2 with Firedot Duplex love it.

The tipping thing is a recurring topic can add undue stress for a trip. Try not to let it distract from the enjoyment of the hunt I have and do feel your pain. Tip what you are comfortable with the fact that you are thinking about this means you have a conscious and care. Kudos (hopefully Kudu...

I have calibers from 17 to 338 single shot/lever/bolt action in over the counter, semi custom and custom platforms. Got the Africa bug and picked up a Kimber Caprivi 375 from someone on this forum and have a new love in my life. Topped it with a Leupold VX6 HD Gen 2 after regulating the sights...

Zephyr, I learn a little from every post appreciate hearing your process. My load is 300 grain TSX @ 2540fps. Rough zero at 50 yards so far about .75" lower at 25. I have a shallow V (100 yard) in the second leaf and need to stop myself from going any further until I shoot again. Rain tomorrow...

KJE81 now that is gorgeous and impressive. Figure you'll have a learning curve on sighting the irons will eventually be muscle/brain memory. I place old milk jugs filled with water all around my farm at different distances and walk around blasting them. Just pull up and shoot. Really helps the...

Steve, you are going about this the high tech route would like to see pics of the finished product. I am working old school (easier on my brain) being patient with a file taking a little bit off at a time. So far walked in POI from 10" high to a 50 yard zero shooting off of sticks. I'll shoot at...

Hey Vel Dog, I am a newbie to the forum but we had a quick chat about a Kimber Caprivi 375 I just acquired and also Mozambique. Gwennies in Anchorage also came up trying to schedule a moose hunt and meet you for a breakfast accordingly. Yes this is an old post but you would be proud of me! Just...

abslaes, thanks for the link. I am just back from a few days traveling visiting our daughter at college. The Talley's are definitely an option looking at them now. Need to look at best option for the VX6 HD 1x6x24 and get eye relief where I want it. Don't need any more scar tissue over my right...

Did the smart thing and reached out to Warne will see what they come back with.

Recently acquired a Kimber Caprivi 375 H&H. Will use Warne Maxima QD rings in 30mm for Gen2 VX6 HD 1x6x24. Are the bases same as Model 700? Warne website has M902/876M Remington 700 Matte steel. Kimber is not listed in the firearms these fit. Help please!

The November trip is being moved up to August or September. Working on details now due to some cancellations. I was not planning the November trip was trying not to ruffle feathers and get too involved in details. The Thermoregulator in my system was sending shockwaves after doing some homework...

I whacked a big 6x6 elk in BC with one of these DRT! First Moose on the AK Peninsula also. Next trip to AK I took a 338 Win Mag. 250 grain Partitions. Unit 9E Brownies are big...........

That kind of heat sucks the life out of you. Sleep would be laying in a pool of sweat. Drew a limited draw tag for archery elk in Missouri River Breaks a few years back it was over 100 F in the shade every day. Tent was too hot slept in the truck with AC running...........

Kudos to IvW/Caveman/DLSJR for the responses above. This is perfect info just what I needed to hear.
