In 2007 I went on a cull hunt in South Africa where one of the professional hunters, Rob Klemp, had a Sako .22-250 that at that point had taken over 12,000 animals--mostly springbok, but some others as well. It was on its 4th barrel, and one day my hunting partner and I were allowed to add to its total. Again, mostly the animals were springbok, but one was a medium-dized kudu bull my partner killed with a heart-shot.
Rob still uses the same Sako, but I believe it's on its 6th barrel now, with a few thousand more animals taken. Is that a lot?
What bullet does he use?Is the barrel a factory 1-14" twist?thanks,Huntz
