phurley5A beautiful rifle that in my opinion has no comparison and I have its twin. You will never regret working with the chambering when hunting for game larger than Deer. Good Shooting.

waterratA real beauty!! After carrying a 358 Norma for 40 years I now have rifle envy,, Grab a pile of 280 Swift A Frames and head up this direction for brown bear,

LHeym500Thank you both very kindly.
I do not know if I am ready for Brown Bear.
That is where a big 35 belongs.
Definitely elk and nilgai this winter.

phurley5If you ever go after Brown Bear you will be well gunned with the STA. I took a 91/2 footer at Cold Bay Alaska with a .300 Win Mag loaded with 200 grain Nosler Partition at 2900 fps. I got a one shot kill but after witnessing the speed and power of the Bear felt like I had a pee shooter in my hands. Since then when in Big Bear country I carried a .340 Wby and now the STA and feel more than adequate. Anything from .338 Win Mag up is fine. Good Shooting.

LHeym500I also got the Catalog from 1999 introducing the 358 STA in the African Express Custom you see above.
