Colt Diamondback .22, Mfg. 1978. 6" barrel. Excellent condition. Typical smooth Colt action. The few times I used it I had a set of Pachmayr grips on it so the wood grips wouldn't get dinged up. Somehow over the years the grip screw for the wood grips got separated from the grips - I'll keep looking. $1895 shipped to CONUS. PP f&f preferred.

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.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
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.
