One of these days? Your not getting any younger and it's not expensive, people spend way more on one Elk hunt than they would going to Africa and getting 5 different animals.
I'm only 29, it's all about priorities, I could have bought a new four wheeler but I went to Africa instead and spent way less on the trip than I would've on the wheeler. Heck, get a signature loan from the bank and pay it back over time, people will go into debt $40,000 on a new truck but can't afford to go to Africa. Put that $600-$800 truck payment towards Africa instead and you will be going in 6 months.
I highly recomend going if you couldn't tell already, there is no other hunting like it in the world.

Just click on this, Brockman's Custom Gunsmithing
It is called the B.E.S.T. brake. Of course you need to thread the barrel, you do for any real muzzle brake. My gunsmith did it for $25. He also tapered the bottom so it had a smoother line from the brake to the barrel. I like mine a lot and I like the idea of not having to have it open when hunting when I have no ear protection. Others you have to remove the whole brake and buy a threaded protector cap which is usually another $40 or more.

Congratulations on the fantastic trophies. I've been thinking about trying TSX in my .270, you have just made my mind up! Great shooting.
