capt561921 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 A while ago I had asked for a semi custom Rem 700 in .308 to be built by Mike Norris as I was planning a Safari to South Africa. Mike as ever did not disappoint and here are a few pic's of the results. Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Thanks for posting Rob, looks like you had a fantastic time. It's something I've been planning for a while, and would be interested to know which outfitter you used and how you rated the trip ?? Many thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millwall Paul Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Good looking Impala, I bet you had a blast while you were out there. Where abouts did you go? I've been on safari twice in near Port Elizabeth and can 110% recomend it to anyone. How were the flights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteL Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 For anyone interested in Safari, take a look at this website: http://www.shakariconnection.com/ Lots of useful info there and he's one of the good guys. I've done three Safaris with him and it's always faultless. Fine hunter and an excellent companion. No financial connection just a satisfied client.

Ratwhiskers Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Rob Kick a chap when he's dreaming (of Aff') and bored (shitless @ work) why don't you!!! lt looks like you had an amazing amount of fun, how did that Blue react to the .308? With any luck and a bit more organisation some of us from on here should be off to S/Aff early next year, the bloody footy world cup and other issues not withstanding.... lf you left anything for us that is It should also mean a whole battery of Mike Norris built toys being dragged along and played with..... So long as F%$£& gets his 7x57 load sorted, Z finally decides (l'll not hold my breath just yet ) which of his growing collection is going and i can get the bloody 180grainers into gear in time.

Millwall Paul Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I've shot blues with a 30-06 with 168gn heads, 1 dropped on the spot 1 went in circles for 50 yards with it's heart in tatters. But I've also seen Eland taken from 150yds with a 270 that just colapsed on the spot. as long as you hit the vitals they might run but you'll find them. The trackers out there are fantastic. I shot a zebra with the 06 and it ran for a couple of hundred yards with its heart knackered and lungs full of blood - they're certainly very tough the african animals. A 308 will kill blues very well one of the guy's I was on safari used his and it killed them just as effectively as the 30-06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaitsev Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Just because I'm on holiday doesn't mean you can take my name in vain yer know.. The jolly ol .308 may go or then again the 6mm or maybe both or neither or ... oh hell I don't know. Tell you what, I'll get them to draw straws for the privilege. I may have something completely different by that point anyway Blue skies z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
