How do you mean „soon”. You really ought to get your tenses right. The correct expression is “How nice of you to have bought her a rifle already ;-)”

Congrats! Please get her to be a hunter if you can! On another note, it will be great when she’s about 3 years old and when you get home, she runs to you saying, “Daddy, you’re home!” and then gives your leg a hug!

Congratulations Jakub and "family".
We look forward to hearing about her future adventures and yours of course.
I have one boy and one girl. Both adults now.
There is a special bond between fathers and daughters because you get to treat them like a Princess.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
