I dig the 116 300 wm @Bobpuckett. I have the same rifle. I'm in the process of customizing it. I just bought a timney trigger and a Choate stock. The next upgrade will be an E.R Shaw heavy barrel. I used to shoot the rifle a lot but was very unhappy with the factory stock and junk trigger. It was due for an upgrade. Can't wait to get it done and run some rounds through it, hell I may start hunting with it again!

Thanks, I've had a heckava time finding good heavy barrels for that. I'll check it out and see what they got. The E.R. Shaw barrels look very nice and are pretty reasonable but I'll see what Apache has. Who knows they might have a better deal! Thanks

I just recieved a SS Heavy sporter from them in 338-06 Last year I bought a 7MM-08 I don't know a hell of a lot about barrels but my GS says the work is first class,
 
@Rob44 thanks for the suggestion, I checked them out along with about a half dozen or so others. I went a head no ordered the Shaw but the Apache was a close second.

That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
