Another one legged sale. File photo from Krish’s post. Purchased from him. About 10 rounds down the pipe. 6 at Beretta, 4 from me.

Have unopened RCBS dies and some ammo available. Will sale separately.

Shipping included, no original box.
 
What do you have for available ammo? And how much $ for the ammo and dies? A PM is fine, if you wish to discuss privately.

I have 16 rounds of Norma PH softs. $250 shipped.
Boxes a little rough from being in my range bag.

Somewhere I have another half box of Norma PH solids, but couldn’t find them. Same $14 a round.

Unopened RCBS dies $225 shipped.

GLWS that is an excellent price for an excellent rifle and excellent caliber.
 
It's solid, short, easy carry .. it will sell!
 
I had that exact same model and I loved mine! Only sold it because I accidentally priced it to somebody. Like stated above, short and easy to carry. I will add that they are very accurate and the 60°bolt throw is super fast, the trigger is excellent as well. The front sight is adjustable for elevation. I have the same rifle still in 416 Rigby and it is my go to bolt gun. If I were not planning another hunt I would scoop this up myself so I would have a matching pair again.
 
Congratulations to the seller and buyer. I would have taken it back if the buyer did not. In a way it is good.

Well it is a fine COPACT rifle in large caliber to tackle any animal. Not available on this side of the pond for quite some time. People who have it are keeping them. Personally I like the cz's in it. Brown bear is cip specs. Does not give room to load mono bullets like Bares Tsx or TTSX WITH OUT INFRINGING ON POWDER SPACE. If you are going to stick with factory ammo exclusively it a great rifle. It is a very powerful rifle.

I heard that Sako is planning to eventually re introduce the big bore calibers on the new platform they released so now is a good time to move this. That one for 10k been there for years now it will never sell.

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.
