Since I am new to selling on AH gun can held by Retail FFL Store before you make payment so you can validate I am not a scammer. (Tommy Gun Warehouse - gun store https://tommygunwarehouse.com will be that store)

Wow, do I have mine priced too cheap? Am selling mine for $700
@Jager Waffen74
Mate I bought my 788 in 222 rem a couple of years ago for 350 dollars Aud and our LGS had one in 243 that was like new 6 months ago for 450 dollars Australian.
Had a 788 in 22-250 back in the late 70s to the early 80s. Absolute tack driver. I stole it for 100 bucks back then complete with dies, ammo tasco world class 4 to 12 scope and conetrol mounts. Sold it when it started to group over an inch which was 2 fox seasons and a lot of rounds.
Will never part with my 222 788.

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.:)

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.
