You must have taken the test with 5000 possible points��.
You will soooooooo smoke a turd in hell for this! More like 10,000. He has seen my 7x57 in action and yet he doubts.............. I also lusted after your 7x57. Mainly so I could rechamber it to the .270's only equal. The .280AI.

I like it! Did you have that done before you went to Africa? Who did the work? What would you have done differently? Quarter rib?
I'm gonna have a Corbett-Ingwe Special built for myself some day!!
It was done before I went to Africa the second time�..wouldnt do anything different. Quarter ribs don't make any sense unless they are integral to the barrel, and you are going to use your irons. Kinda like this one. 7x57, of course�

I think some type of "safari" mustache is required when shooting any metric cartridge.
I couldn't agree more�.

The sights on my Fwt. are a redundant system. They are sighted with 175 grain loads. If the scope craps out, Im GTG�never had to use them. A quarter rib, integral, adds about $600+ to the price of a barrel. You'd better use your sights!!!

270 is mo betta Had to say it as I cannot tell a lie. Agreed! Here's mine. Though I must admit I have not tried it on pachydermata

I couldn't agree more�. It's sad how far you've fallen.... PS - you have a little Nick Nolte going on in that photo.

A quarter rib, integral, adds about $600+ to the price of a barrel. You'd better use your sights!!! But that's the entire point, isn't it? To use them if the scope poops out. And $600 is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of the trip. Anyway I like the setup. You'll have fun using it on one of our Sunshine State porkers, scope or iron.
