Well guys it's here. I have to say it is everything I expected and more. I can't wait to get the front bead on a Cape Buffalo in August. I will try and post pics soon.
 
Congrats!!!

PICS!!!!! :)
 
It is great to see a new toy in the house.

Have you taken it to the range and fired a few test shots.

i would be interested in seeing a few picture of your new baby and a few shot targets to see how you performed.
 
Congratulations!

Not yet, am still waiting for the paperwork to come through from the local law. I am starting to panic as all the paperwork for the Cape Buffalo trip is needed very shortly and that was why I bought this rifle. I am now wondering if my Merkel 9.3x74 is going to be gun enough if I have to take it.
 
Just a quick pic of the new addition before it went off for licencing

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
