My wife and I along with my childhood best friend and his wife recently returned from a 7 day Safari in Limpopo Province and all I can say is WoW! Purchased the hunt from a Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation auction and was questioning whether we'd go or not but glad we did. Ended up setting up a stalk on a black impala that gave us the slip and.lead to me harvesting the Animal we were initially looking for, a nyala. Next morning I shot a wide impala off a water hole. 3rd.morning my wife was up and smacked a Sable at first light. Was her first bow kill. Our outfitter was fanfastic and the lodging and accommodations were spectacular. The food was bottom line some of the best wild game I have ever tasted in my life. If anybody has ever thought about a Safari, I strongly recommend doing one. You will not regret it.

Helluva deal!

Details on this setup? (Barrel length, sights, round about year model?)

Beginning to plan for the upcoming Music City Chapter Elk Foundation Banquet. We had a nice event at The Barn at Sycamore Farms last year in Arrington, but have decided to host this year's at the Nashville Gun Club. As usual, we will have a nice catered meal with games, raffles and auctions (live and silent) Some of the highlights of this year will include. *Selling of chances to win a Hunt for two during the rut with a rifle in the Bob Marshall Wilderness area of Montana. Real Back Country Montana Hunting with a horse pack in and camping in wall tents. High success rate! We will have two of these hunts available. Will be $100/chance and there will be 400 tickets (200 each hunt). These will go on sale via QR code at our banquet. ***African trip with GP Footprint (Gerhard Pretorius). 7 day hunt including a night hunt for 4 hunters. Hunt includes all accomodations and a Baboon and Jackal per hunter (8 animals possible) with the opportunity to upgrade to any animal. You are responsible for airline travel to/from Polokwane, South Africa with pickup/drop off at airport by outfitter. This hunt will be live auctioned at our banquet. PBR trip for two to Las Vegas with tickets to all performances, 4 nights accomodations, travel to/from performances from hotel. This will be an early November trip. $50/chance (Only 100 will be sold) We will also have a hefty gun package to raffle off. Numerous AR-15s, Weatherby Vanguards as well as Springfield XDs, and the 2022 RMEF Gun of the Year , a Kimber 1911 in 10mm. I will update as we gather more and more info. If interested in joining us for the night, sign up for a membership or just volunteering to help the night of the banquet, all participants are welcome!

Very nice piece.

What i was thinking as well but not sure enough to throw it out. Still a great buy.

I have a box of Hornady Leverolution in Lyles for $40

That's about $500 worth just in ammo!

30-30?

I've got a 450 Bushmaster I built on a Bushmaster lower. Also built one for my step-brother. Both of us love them. Both are 16". Alot more economical to shoot than a 458 (If you can find 458 ammo)

Proceed Suh! Proceed!

My only problem has been on the 450 Bushmasters their gas ports are way undersized. My 7.62x39, 308, and 6.5 Creedmoors all ran as intended. Ugly they are, work they do. Then again, im not quite the perfectionalist as Rob is. Cheaper is Cheaper.

Anybody happen to have a gunsmith in the Franklin/Fairview area they would recommend?

Our local chapter of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation

223 Wylde

Guess I will go with a .223 Wylde Chambering in a 16" stainless barrel and run with it.

I would most likely suggest an AR10 in a 6.5 Creedmoor or 308. Otherwise 6.5 Grendel would be about the furthest reaching round out of the AR15 platform.

I have noticed that as well. Im totally not familiar with the Creedmoor and am fine with that. I personally have a 450 Bushmaster that i love but also know the recoil isnt as friendly to some people as other rounds.

I built one for my wife and its great... What else would be great is if she would actually shoot it. Built it last September or so... still not shot it lol

That is an option as well. Was thinking AR15 but may dip into the AR10 field as well.
