That's what I thought. I almost dropped the cash on one in .325wsm but decided to custom build a .375 Ruger on an HS precision stock and rem. action. For somethin' different since my safe is missing a small large bore.

Still may wind up with a Kimber also.

I'm not hip on the .325...though the Kimber is a great platform.

I did just finish a .375HH AI on a Sako L691...McMillan swirly, 22" PacNor, Cerrakoted and Micro-slicked, Talley Rings & bases, with a Leup fixed 6x sporting M1 ele turret...

Nice that should do anything required of it.

PacNor has a great reputation although I have no experience with them. Was going to go either Hart or Lilja but am still on the fence. Whatever, it will wear a stainless Bbl. with a coating of undetermined lineage, probably Warne QR with an iron site for the deep dark jungles, and a Vari X III 2-7X or I have my eyes on Zeiss. Not in any hurry since I'm also in the process of taking a parted out Win 1892 (mfg 1893) and refurbing it into a 16" trapper in .44 mag.

Sounds like you've some good ideas....

Should add, mine's a Stick recipe....

Swirly Mac. stock was my first clue. Is he a PacNor guy? If so why. Opinions from those in the know don't scare me.

Can't go wrong with Mcmillan I am using the HS precision stock 'cause it was free and has a DM.

He likes PacNor because he's had good service and good results, on many levels..

Thanx for de-railing my post bro dave. How do you get the meat home from Africa?

Ya Dave, next time someone comments on the rifle in one of your legitmate posts, tell them to start their own thread if they expect an answer....what the h3ll were you thinking !

J7intheboat,
Who cares about the meat, did you see the horns ?

My apologies....feel free to post the rest of your 06-07 pics...

Can't bring the meat home from the Dark Continent...best you get, is to eat as much as you can while there.

What the h3ll WAS I thinking....? grin..

That cow in the original post will be good eats. Looks like a blue grouse or two in those pics too.

Bummer about the meat. How does african game taste anyway? Is it tuff? What happens to the rest?

Oregonian. You cant eat d!ck and horns. It is horn hunters who give hunters in general a bad rap with the liberal extremist anti crowd. I think it be appropriate to eat the flesh of the animals I kill.

cupo. She's a real good eater. Goob eye on the blue. I mostly get ruffed where I hunt, but the occasional blue finds himself in front of my scattergun.

If you want to while away your life trying to impress the "liberal extremist anti crowd", then be my guest.

Those liberal extremists don't want you to have the freedoms you seem to love, and kissing their ace isn't going stop them from trying with all their might to get those freedoms taken away, my thinking is we might as well stand up to them, or better yet ignore them and everything they stand for, no matter how many of them there are. I think the word is principles...

I eat much of what I kill too, but that isn't the only reason to pull a trigger. IF you wanted to justify every creature you kill, things could get pretty confusing in a hurry...

Yeah I think your right and we should stick to our principles and not let them get out of hand. I dont believe we should give them any ammo to fight us either. I geuss my what I was trying to exprees was that personaly, I hate wasting game meat.

Your right about justifying everything we kil could get confusing. I'm sure we have both lost an animal after we have shot it. We know its going to die but we just cant find it. How can you justify that and sound like it was just. Thats something only a hunter can understand.

Have I dusted a few varmits in my time? Yes. Do I have a coyote pelt or two? Yes. Did I eat them? No.

Are varmits a different story? you tell me.
