By the way when in 2026 are you going the the Eastern Cape, who with and what are you after? Headed there myself in April of 2026.

175 LRx, 190 LRX, 200 LRX 175 Terminal Ascent , 200 Terminal Ascent Find what your rifle likes and go. I do tend to pick the heaviest bullet the rifle likes for African game as the shots are not typically far and the animals are tough. My 300 Weatherby and. 200 terminal Ascent are the shit!

Another thing to mention is the OPs examples it more about the bullet choice than the specific cartridge. Obviously many cartridges will work but not all bullets will serve him well. Hornady only makes one good hunting bullet for large game and that's the CX. The DGX bonded is OK but there are...

I agree that antiquated was maybe not the best phrase. But I do think with todays scopes and ballistics apps and a general better knowledge of ballistics that one is better suited if looking to buy a rifle and scope that getting a scope with adjustable turrets on a rifle in the 300 wm range is...

If sold on the Hornady ammo I would stay clear of the ELD-X. They don't stay together when encountering large bones in the shoulders. This is where you shoot African animals as their vitals are further forward than American game. If it must be Hornady shoot the CX mono bullets that are tough...

Lots of good scopes to choose from these days as well as good guns. I'm a Nightforce guy myself as they are tough as hell. Zeiss, high end Leupold or Swarovski. Meopta is also good and more affordable. Most quality brands will handle a 300 wm recoil. Many may recommend Vortex but I would stay...

Any movement on this project? Also is it for the Safari model 70 with the extra recoil lug on the forward part of the barrel

Unless you have other plans later for the 338 I would stick with a 30 cal. Anything from the .308 Win, 30-06 , 300 wm, 300 PRC, or my favorite 300 Wby Mag. The logical is the 300 WM as ammo is easily available. You can do it all with a 7mm also. The 338 isn't large enough for dangerous game...

I wish Talley or another manufacturer would make an RMR mount for the Talley bases that are their proprietary base style. There is an option for picatiny mount and Talley makes QD rings for the Pic rail. However, the Talley pick rail QD ring levers separate from the rings when you loosen them...

make sure if its a flat head that you use a hollow ground that just fits the slot. push down as advised and don't go crazy if it doesn't turn STOP. you may need something like a slight penetrating oil to give it some movement...not a lot as it will soak into the wood a bit. There are other...

Are they screws or bolt heads. being from 70's likely just flat heads. Curious because they look removed already.....are they inside those countersunk holes?

As I grow older I do tend to learn from others experiences along with my own now. I tend to use bullets proven by many. Those include the Barnes monos in some rifles and the North Fork SS for big stuff. I do have a good supply of the Federal Terminal Ascent bullets also and hope to use them on...

Interested if the sale doesn't work out.

I'm interested if this is intended to fit the Safari rifle with the additional forward bedding block. I'd prefer the standard bottom metal and installed pillars but can compromise on those.

I think I have a few boxes of different 458 wm stuff. I'll check when I get home and get back with you.

I use Big Game in my 375 Ruger with 300 grain TSX

to correct m previous post about the Nightforce scope option..... I meant for them to make a 2nd focal plane DG scope and that the FFP options the reticle is too small at 1X. I did say it right in the conversation with NF just stated it backwards in my post here.

So I had a very interesting conversation with some Nightforce reps (engineers actually) at the EuroOptic booth at SCI. I basically told them that if they made a LPVO with a simple reticle and a brighter dot in FFP they would have a contender in the dangerous game market. I pointed out how...

What powder to get a 450 TSX at 2450? And what barrel length?

KMG Safaris. I too like that pose. The back skin is so interesting and having the head in makes it interesting

They look great in black and white also!

@fourfive8 Why do you suggest avoiding the ball powders? Is it to avoid issues with powder clumping or something else. I load my 458 WM+ (long mag box and throat) at a length of 3.570" with a 450 grain bullet using TAC powder or AA2230 (both ball powders). I get really good velocity and...

I have the same rifle. Shoots great and very reliable. This looks to be in great shape. Good luck with sale someone should snatch this up.

The 375 Ruger is alive! It's just that Hornady seldom offers the brass to reloaders. With many better brass manufacturers producing PRC brass we may be able to get some quality brass soon. The 7mm PRC and 300 PRC are based off of the 375 Ruger case so it would be reasonable for ADG, Lapua...

Christensen Arms....Rifles very notorious for poor accuracy and Customer Service Sucks... Hornady for wrong velocities on factory ammo..... by a lot! No support for 375 Ruger reloading.

Hopefully someone with Global Rescue or another program can address this here. It makes you wonder for sure how well even the best protection can really be if involves Governments such as in RSA. Never heard anyone say anything good about how things run over there. Normally it's either...

SOLD

After hearing ammo availability as a reason for a particular cartridge often....this is one of the few times I hear of actual lost ammo. Dan458 can you share your story of your lost ammo? where were you hunting when did it come up missing ...did it ever show up? I custom load for most...

Sold Pending Funds

$375 shipped for the 4 boxes.

4 boxes of Federal 200 grain Terminal Ascent .30 cal bullets. 50 per box. These are not pulled bullets and are in their sealed component boxes. These are are bonded bullets and are very hard to find. $400 shipped for all 4 boxes to US only.

I actually made my own Ruger RMR mount. I used an old Ruger ring and milled the top of the lower part of the ring flat. I then had a micro welder friend of mine weld a steel RMR mounting plate to it. I'm on my way to SCI but I will take a photo of it when I get back. I was thinking of making...

H.S Precision replacement stock was an easy upgrade and not super expensive. Stocky's stocks has them. Add Alaskan Arms quick detach scope mounts and get after it. We should all start emailing Alpha Precision to get them to make 375 Ruger brass. They make 7 PRC which it based off 376 Ruger...

Not to de-rail....but what are the opinions on the Montana 1999 .375 rifles from the past? I know where one is and may pick it up if its reasonable and reliable.

This will be my first time at the SCI Convention coming up. Weather is expected to be pretty cold so I was wondering how the parking at the convention is. My hotel is just shy of 1 mile from music center. Not sure how fast the parking garages nearl Music Center fill up. I have to pay to park...

Mini claw extractor not the Mauser full length

Magna port does help reduce muzzle rise. There is one other negative...... at dawn, dusk, dark it adds flash. Not a typical hunting situation but after a wounded animal or walking out of the bush and confronted a flash is possible and can effect follow up as well.

Brakes are great for being able to get back on target for long range and for spotting hits for target shooting. The ONLY downside to a brake of any kind is the increased sound and concussion to the shooter and mainly others around. Magna port is less loud and less effective at recoil reduction...

Well not aluminum ..... my follower is SS so may be easier to extend. OP keep us posted on what you find. We will get you sorted. And thanks for getting me going on what I need to finish on my own project. May start a new thread to get some info.

Sourcing a proper follower may prove difficult as most of the sources are dried up and factory asks for the Ser#. I need one for my converted 458 wm to a longer mag box. I just haven't asked anyone for a number to give Winchester so I can purchase one. I also thought of having one 3D...

Very intriguing. barrel markings look to be factor but round is way too long in mag and at ramp. Measure the COAL of that round

I converted a 458 wm to a 458 wm+. This basically allows you to load long as 3.6" just like the Lott. Take a photo of the mag box. If it has a block in the back it was never a Lott. No worries you can get the block out and then you will likely need a new Ejector and bolt stop. If it was a...

Look at the video review done by Altera Arms. They are one of several rifle makers that got the reamers and were asked to make rifles in this chambering. They were honest and basically said ... not ready. RCBS has had several years to figure out the reloading and doesn't have it licked yet...

Thanks all for confirming my thought. I'm going to shoot it a bunch this coming year. It is a thumper as I shoot 450 North Fork SS and some solids and also Barnes 450. They all go almost 2400 FPS. It will loose some in a few weeks as I'm having it cut from 24" to 20". I just like the...

Have a future Buffalo hunt planned for 2026. I have a 458 wm+ loaded equal to 458 Lott. Trying to decide if I want to use the Swaro Z8i 1-8x24 or just go with the Holosun Comp red dot. I can mount either and have just thinking of what the primary should be. I have talked to the PH a bit but...

Man I want to tell myself I am left handed. Beautiful rifle. Well worth the $

Unfortunately...not a "No Problem" when you don't have a customer counter for 100 miles. We still have a UPS distribution center here in my city but they closed the customer counter. I have used the pick up but I don't schedule it I just have the label on it from online and the hazard...

My local UPS Customer Service Center closed also. The UPS Store refused to ship a barrel. No rifle attached, not threaded or chambered. I asked why they said "homeland security" I replied "No" they don't have that in a policy try again....so is it your policy? No answer. I drove to...

I have a Seekins Havok Element in 7mm PRC and it shoots lights out! The Seekins PH2 is maybe a better and cheaper option with a longer barrel. They flat out shoot and Seekins customer service is the best. I had horrible luck with Christensen and Fierce. Had issues with both of those brands...

My wife and I will be headed back to RSA in 2026 this time to the Eastern Cape. Flying into Cape Town then on to Gqberha. So far I have never visited a Safari Outdoors or other similar place during my travels. I'd like to do that this time but I'm not sure what is in Cape Town or Gqberha or...
