Just Ordered My First Medium Bore Rifle

I’ve been skunked on drawing a tag the last few years. I’m working on load development for my 300WM for some long range capabilities. Given the area I’m likely to hunt will more than likely present shots over 300 yards, I’m not sure I’ll want to be carrying the 375. But I sure do know it will be sufficient to kill an elk. And some day I may take it just so it can take one. But for now my frustration with not being drawn will mean I will pull all the stops once I do get drawn so I don’t walk away empty handed.
Don’t ever think the .375 won’t reach out there. It shoots as flat as the .30~06, & packs a lot of punch when it arrives.

Congrats on the new Winchester m70 safari it's a wonderful choice,but I'm kinda bias, I just purchased the same one about 1.5 year ago.
The accuracy is excellent. My gun likes A-Frame and Woodleigh rn/sn,From the bench I managed .5in group with swift 300gr A-Frame w/H4350 78.9 gr.
Good luck with your new gun

Thanks for loading info. Unfortunately, finding powder or A frames is harder than a giraffe hunt in Arizona. I definitely have my eyes open though

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
