    I hear you about the lugs, but most of the terrain isn’t hilly or rocky except the Zambia river valley, it’s sandy and dry , and usually long stalks in most areas A nice quiet boot for stalking The African hunter website has some invaluable information on footwear

    Africa Boot

    Winchester Model 70 Super Shadow

    I personally would keep it 300wsm , but I am not going to argue with people about common misconceptions If you like a prc be my guest it’s like debating whether a 6.5-284 Norma or 6.5 prc is better, the action is made for a WSM fat cartridge so imo a 270 seems more logical then a different...

    Winchester Model 70 Super Shadow

    Imo look at the 270wsm over a 6.5 prc , it’s a great round , the 270wsm is considered the best WSM made , a 325wsm is 2nd on the list as best

    Winchester Model 70 Super Shadow

    I like them , good shooting guns, I think they are less money because of the short action and stock , metal finish The action is good! Probably better than a controlled round feed for quick feeding and maybe stronger than a push feed If they where longer action I bet people would be making...

    30-30 Copper ammo (Barnes) penciled through Whitetail Buck this morning...thoughts?

    I 100% agree 30-30 excelled with 150gr or 170gr cup and core But I wouldn’t be adverse to those barns, they’re good just a bit different I usually don’t believe folks who say barns penciled through with out expanding, they normally are full of crap
