After decades of hunting elk, and to a lesser extent similarly sized African plains game, I would agree with all of the above...especially the last few posts about rifle weight. How comfortable you feel with your rifle is absolutely the most important factor in the success of any hunt. I mean...

Len, How do I start a new post? I posted my Allen 7STW for sale in the Guns for Sale forum, and it hasn't shown up on the New Threads forum. Please advise. thanks, LewisH

I have Redding S-type dies with inserts, bags of W/W brass and Remington brass, 3 boxes Berger 180VLDs (hunting and target), 2 boxes 160 Accubonds...all acquired 2009-10 for African trip which never happened, and never will.

H414 has long been my powder of choice for .308 case size varmint cartridges (.22, 6mm). It's slow burning, gives top velocities and great accuracy in those cases, and goes through powder measures like water for ease of loading large batches of cartridges. :) But, from my less that happy...

I have the posi-align Zee or Signature rings and they work great when you get the right combo of front and back inserts. They obviate the need for lapping rings, and essentially eliminate ring marks on the scope. Please note: The 1" rings have a variety of inserts, but the 30mms have just...
