  • I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
    Thanks,
    Gary [redacted]
    My gunsmith is rebluing my silver pigeon. I want it perfect for you. It should be done by the end of next week. The bluing was at 90% and I want it at 100%
    To sweeten the deal I can also include my Beretta 20 gauge pump with the silver pigeon that has probably been shot 10 times. As I said the silver pigeon was bought 8 years ago from a friend of my dads. Sweet shooting gun. I am dropping it off Friday to my gunsmith for a look over

    Don’t know what else I can tell you

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
Philippe

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.
