My most recent trip there was to Namibia for some hunting, fishing and touring last year. Many years ago I bought a pretty mint FN Supreme 30-06 for a song whilst living in Houston where few Mauser's sold IME and Weatherby's and Sako did... I mounted a Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10X on it and loaded up some old Speer 180 gr bullets and took it to the range to learn it was an MOA rifle. I threw it in the safe and there it sat for 15 years until last year. I have never owned a 30-06 prior and last year I decided to take it to Namibia. Yes it was a bit heavier than what I normally hunt with but the 168 gr Barnes TSX just flat azz worked. Tough mountainous area that offered likely my most difficult hunt for mountain zebra well into the mountains. Zebra, kudu, gemsbuck, springbuck and cheetah dropped at the shot. It was sighted dead on at 200 yards. As stated above, it just works.


Conduct is the best proof of character.
