[QUOTE="fordy, post: 3020818, member: 120504"] Gday tribb I apologise in advance for im about to derail & go away from your questions initially as the thread has gone to things that ultimately won't really concern you re Dangerous Game but I have trouble as DG is something I hold very dear to my heart & going to relay my thoughts & experiences in that field to give others a bit to think on not my way just a different perspective Moving on Ronald on your comment above your 85 that is correct that it is nearly fool proof to stop a lost magazine or dropping out in the field when we don't know it's happened & cycle your bolt & find omg where did that go & especially one I'd avoid in a DG hunt ( only the magazine 75's for that reason as it's not nice yes I've had that happen & why a mate or ph should always accompany one on a DG hunt imo ) & why the 85 was a design improvement over the 75 with magazines Yes I've had The 75 fall out on me numerous times & lost a few mags also But once again why I'm a floor plate fan Floor plate also has its issues & once again if it's not correctly put together you will find the other bullets to follow on the ground as the recoil from the first shot as the release of the floor plate will let go A simple spring fixes that on the sakos ( tribb highly doubt it will on a 257 as it’s the bigger bore predominantly it occur in ) I congratulate you on your cape buff & they are a special critter to hunt 👍 & if you have the chance again your 85 will serve you well that I’ve got no doubts & yes even with a scope Cheers [/QUOTE]
