Sako L461, built by the famous gunsmith Paul Jaeger of Jenkintown. 25.5" heavy bbl, jeweled bolt, match trigger w/ oversized shoe, and a Weaver K12-C3 scope. Gorgeous checkered stock w/ White Line pad and metal grip cap. Don't know the history of this gun since I bought it at an auction last year but it is in excellent condition and appears to have been shot very little.

Asking $2250 shipped FFL to FFL

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.:)

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.
