405 yards on a cow elk. Used a 30-06 and 150 grn Hammer Hunter bullet at 3,050 fps. Just behind the right shoulder, angled into the left shoulder. Dumped her.

If you buy this rifle, the odds of you being selected for the Big Game hunts/tags you put in for in what ever draw you entered will increase significantly. Guaranteed!

Thanks. I really haven't shot this rifle a ton, but it seems like it prefers the 215 Bergers with Magnum Powder in ADG brass. Just running low on Magnum powder at the moment, so haven't had a chance to dial this load in further. The long magazine on this action lets you load the 215 Bergers...

Nice rifle. Looks like a real elk thumper!

Sunday/Funday Bump

Thinning the herd. Have too many guns and not enough hunts left in me! This was originally a stainless Sako 85 Finnlight in 300 Win Mag. Later added a McMillan stock and sent it to Long Rifles Inc. to rebarrel with a 1:10 twist K&P 26" barrel. Threaded 5/8"-24 with thread protector. LRI also...

Have hunted Africa with a 416 Rigby (shooting 400 grain Barnes X @ 2,400 fps) and it is an awesome round. Just thumps big animals, although I shot a cape buffalo in the chest at 30 yards and he looked at me with a "that's all you got" expression :oops: I would absolutely say that is a great...

Hunted cape buffalo and plains game in Zimbabwe / Chewore North in 2001 and 2004. Hunted out of the Big 5 Safaris camp on the Zambezi. Was incredible (also fished on the river for big Tigerfish). Not sure if you can still hunt out of that camp (I think Chifuti Safaris took it over, but they...

Nice gun. Hope that isn't a 20 MOA rail ;)

I can load 212 and 215 grain bullets in my 300WM to higher velocities than factory 300 PRC ammo in the same bullet weight. I load to 3.690", so full use of the 300WM case capacity. Not sure if I can do the same with 220-245 grain bullets. I'm sure you can beat 300WM velocities in all bullet...

Two boxes of Barnes 6.5mm 127 grain LRX. Same lot number. $90 shipped in the USA. Thanks Tim [email protected]

Price reduced to $850 plush shipping/insurance Thx

This scope is guaranteed to make you and your rifle shoot better! :cool:

I also get over 2,900 FPS with my 26" barrel. My barrel is throated for the 215 Bergers and I load them to 3.690" COAL. Using a Sako 85 action and the magazine length is 3.700"

Also get great accuracy and velocity out of my 300 WM using Ramshot Magnum powder with the 215 Bergers
