Me too. I just got into my safe and looked closer at my 2 builds on that action. I don’t have any bolt clearance issues or any problems. Both scopes are mounted as low as I can get them. With Hawkins lows and NF medium rings.
Have you looked at this one yet? 700 footprint, 60 degree bolt throw. I’m about to use one on a PRC build most likely.

I have two anti X in short actions, not longs. To give you an idea on ring height with caps:
I have one with a mark 5 3-18x44 in Hawkins lows and wearing the MKM machine flip caps. Then a Nightforce 2.5-20x50 with the Nightforce caps mounted in Nightforce mediums.
I also have defiance...
You need a 6lb unloaded gun if you run a 28-30oz scope and an atlas tall, or a 6.5lb unloaded gun to run a lighter 20oz scope and an atlas tall.
Just to give you reference on what you need in weight of just the rifle. I have 3 built like that and lots of experience chasing weights.
Yeah, I know this stuff gets tricky, especially trying to book something last minute. Good to know about the Axis, couldn't hack that cold weather like other animals I guess? Makes sense.
Thanks, I'll be sending you a PM here in a few.
I am looking for more of a place that has lodging and food. Just looking to fly in grab a rental and get to where I am going and hunt a few days.
I’m off work between Xmas and New Years, looks like Texas is my best bet for a hunt. Looking for whitetail, or maybe one of the exotics like Axis.
Not really sure where to even start looking to find what’s available. Hoping someone poking around in here might have some connections or advice on...
What the White House did today was not a solution. 50M barrels? Look at these facts...in the US we consume 20M barrel PER DAY. So you "flooded" the market with 2.5 days of supply, meanwhile we only produce 15M barrels/day here at home and run at a -5M barrel/day deficit. You just pissed off...
If I know exactly where I am going and don't think I will have to move the shelter more than maybe once, I like the floorless option for size/space/convenience.
But I learned really quickly on a sheep hunt that you cannot throw up a floorless just anywhere. Then add tearing down and putting...
Thank you very much for the reply and the recommended outfitters! Thats very helpful as I am looking into all of those right now trying to find reviews and figure out how they like to run things.
Very nice of you to offer up your email and I will probably take you up on that after I nail down...
Thank you for the detailed response, I greatly appreciate it. I was already thinking about how to spread out the travel like you mentioned, but helpful to look more at Buenos Aires rather than spending all the time in Cordoba.
A lot of what you describe is exactly as I was envisioning it.

My dad turns 70 next year and I want to gift him a father/son bucket list trip of a lifetime...looking for any insight anyone cares to provide.
My dad has taken up more bank fishing and trap shooting in the last 5 years more than hunting trips and sporting clays anymore. He’s in good health...
My TBAC 22 takedown gets used more than any can I own. Takes down easy, soak, scrub with a nylon brush, soak, rinse, put the baffles back together and off you go. Very easy and haven't not had to adjust zero yet.
