Good day! Welcome from SA too!
 
Welcome, certainly glad to have you here with us!!
 
Welcome to the site, and I think you'll find this to be a pretty good place to list such a rifle; albeit the members of this site really lean more towards the 243 Winchester, especially a certain member from the land of Drop Bears. ;-)
 
Welcome aboard!
 
Hello Dunderhead,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

I have formerly owned several Winchester Model 70’s, including but not limited to the dreaded Pre-64 ones.
Indeed they are one of the world’s best hunting rifles.
Good luck with your sale.

If you continue in this forum after you sell your rifle, (I hope you continue here), it is very likely that you will spend that money on a .375 H&H or a .404 Jeffery.
I don’t read tea leaves or a crystal ball but, it’s predictable, just saying.:ROFLMAO:

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.

That would be a real shame wouldn't it!! I will say the community here is remarkably kind and welcoming, I could see how a guy could end up turning his kid's tuition fund into a super grade or 2 :ROFLMAO:

Can you elaborate on the "dreaded Pre-64s"? I always thought those were the good ones!

Kid’s tuition vs a Super Grade Model 70 …… Great minds think alike.

Ya, “dreaded Pre-64’s” was my feeble (very feeble) attempt at humor.
Indeed those were and still are one of the best hunting rifles, as are some of the newer Model 70’s these days.

The one and only reason I sold my Model 70 collection was to help pay for more hunting and fishing adventures.

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.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
