[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 57486, member: 1290"] Thanks for the info Ageo308 and Longreach. I'm getting older and recently lost my dad to cancer at the young age of 62. He always wanted to do a hunt for bear or moose in Alaska. He also was invited to Zimbabwe to hunt and never did go. Neither did the guy who invited him. He always wanted to have a 300 Weatherby. He never took the hunts nor did he ever get the rifle. Well, I'm not going to my grave without doing these things. I now have two Weatherby's. They both have far exceeded what I expected from them. I may not do the Alaska thing due to my disability (wheelchair user, paralyzed at T-6 from motorcycle racing accident) but I think Africa might be doable. I need to save up for a couple more years but once I set my mind to something I usually get it done. My son will be taking his old Sako 7 Mag on the hunt in his honor. We are looking for a once in a lifetime exotic type hunt. Until then we keep our skills sharp by shooting varmints and hunting as much as we can here. We have deer and elk here. The wheelchair is why I need to be able to take game where I spot them. No stalking closer for me. That's why I have gravitated to the flattest shooting calibers and most accurate rifles I can handle. Even if, the brass is four times more. [/QUOTE]
