My 416 is a never fired Model 70 classic. Took it to the smith to get it detailed. Dakota Arms open sights, a good solid bedding job, smooth out the trigger and 3 position safety. Will give the bore a DBC treatment before shooting.

Just picked up a bunch of 350gr Speers to start. Then the serious development will begin with 350gr Barnes TSX or TTSX. Once I get the load dialed in and open sights filed in, back to the smith for a Cerakote job.

Hoping TAC or H4895 will get me to 2500 plus fps.

Thinking a return to Africa in 2021 or 22.
