I believe most on this site would LIKE to get under 50 yards but sometimes things dont work out - you fluffed your first shot and have 100 + yard chance at a rapidly departing buff or you hunted hard and you are on your last day and have a 100 + yard opportunity with very little else going for...
Velocity is at the 2380 - 2390 fps mark. A nice surprise was that they shot pretty much where my 400 gr barnes tsx were shooting so there was no sighting in after completing the buff hunt and switching bullets.
Took pictures and clicked attach files (bottom left on screen) and selected the...
Thank you - I do make use of a Chronograph and archive between 2380 and 2390 fps. I have recently bumped the load up to 77 grains and now get around 2420 fps. Not a massive difference but still just feels right.
I got my mod 70 safari express in about 2019. Currently half way through with my 13 th 1 lb can of Varget. At 76 grains per load behind a 400 gr barnes tsx (and a few swift breakaway solids) gives me over 1000 rounds down the barrel. Busy sighting in off the lead slead at 100 m today and this...
I have been using a Leica MAGNUS 1-6.3 × 24 illuminated for the past 5 years on my .416 RemMag trouble free. The glass is excellent , the "controls" are intuitive and the eye relief is generous.
Vineyards in the Constancia suburb in Cape Town to visit are Klein Constancia and Constancia Uitzig where you will find amazing restaurants as well. Kirsten Bosch botanical gardens are amazing and some evenings there are music "concerts" so check their website. Another fine vineyard with great a...

I have hunted with Tinie Kok - MJK Safaris- for two years and going on my third. I hold him in very high regard as a ph and know I can count on him when the chips are down. Your assessment of the man and his business is made off information gathered around a campfire and passed on to a neighbour...
Have owned a mod 70 Portuguese build safari express in .416 Rem mag for about 5 years now. It has run flawlessly and accuracy is really good. I have hunted with it in cool temperatures in the Eastern Cape to hot and humid on the shores of Lake Kariba.
I shoot a .416 rem mag wearing a leica 1-6.3 ×24 with illuminated reticle. This set up has functioned without fail for 5 years now and has been good from 20 m to 200 m. In my opinion Leica is right up there with the best. I grew up shooting open sights but do feel that a scoped rifle gives me...
I am pretty hooked onto buffalo. I hunted 2 buffalo in the Eastern Cape with Lalapa Safaris which were great experiences. The hippo (on land) I hunted last year in Gache Gache on lake Kariba with Tinie Kok who operates MJk Safaris and followed it up this year with a buff / tuskless in Makuti...
Good day: I am from South Africa and grew up farming - still have not kicked the bad habit. I shoot a .416 Rem Mag Winchester Mod 70 ( Portuguese build) topped with a Leica 1 -6.3 illuminated. I really do think the Leica scopes are up there with the best. I have hunted in South Africa , Namibia...
