Guys and Gals,

I'm so short I have to jump to jack a pissant. I leave in less than 48 hours to Tanzania for Cape Buff.

The 416 Rigby Ruger bolt gun is hitting to point of aim with 400gn NP's and TBBC solids.

The 338 Win Mag Ruger 77 Magnum is the same with 250gn Woodleigh softs and solids.

All the paperwork is here and done, ditto with shots and Malorone.

AR is 80% responsible for this trip. I booked thru Wendell Reich and travel was handled by Kathi Klimes both which I found here. Wendell and Kathi have both been super and made the process fun.

Sleep is hard to come by. I went out today and checked final zero on both rifles.

I'm driving my wife Myra and Black Lab Maggie nuts, those here know of what I speak.

I'll let everyone here know when I get back.

Stay safe all........................JJ

Buffalo are the gift GOD gave the hunter, when he has exausted his search for an adrenalin high, in every place but Africa!

Good luck, and make the shots count! beer
