How do you like the pic rail on the Sako? Is it drilled and tapped for it? Or clamp on style?

Well you just shoot what Africa gives you with the rifle in your hand.

How big of varmints are we talking here?

5lbs gophers or 3,000 lbs Hippos?

@Northern Shooter the answer is YES.

When I shot the jackal it was on a two part hunt. I was backing my buddy up on his elephant and what ever Africa gave us. We were the second hunting party into his property after we could start flying with all the COVID stuff in mar 2021. The outfitters property has ALOT of buffalo on it so that is why I was carrying my 500 Jeff vs the 6.5 creed I took on the second part of the trip to the eastern cape where the largest thing on my list was a Vaal Rehbok. On a safari the cheapest thing invested is the ammo, whether it is 22LR or 577NE. So I have always taken the best premium bullets and go hunt. For me it is about the experience and not worried about the difference in the price of ammo.
