Model 70-super express vs safari express?

I picked up a set of Model 70 Safari Express iron sights for my Springfield two years ago. Lots to like. Both front and back sights mount with screws instead of solder so easy to install, get rid of, or replace if damaged. The rear sight does fold flat and is adjustable all ways. Folding flat may be important if a low power scope is mounted. Also great if there's a long ride in the saddle to hunting camp. Flip the blade down and throw the gun in scabbard. The one downside is adjusting windage can be a bit tricky as the rear sight platform does want to wander when locking screw is tightened. Nevertheless, I was so impressed I bought a second set of these sights for the 404 Jeffery I'm building on Mauser 98.
 
I could never get along with the M70 Classic stocks, so all of mine (280AI, 300 NM, and .375 H&H) are restocked.

The solution to .375 magazine capacity is an extended magazine by Sunnyhill, like the one on my .375 below.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
