RAAMW. Enjoy your new M70. I also have the safari express in .416 Rem. The advise given so far is right on. Especially #8 screws on the sight bases. I am using the leupold QD mounts and rings (the ones with the ring base studs). Also before you get to a lot of shooting, do a bedding job with agraglass or similar as the factory bedding is worthless and it would be shame to crack such a good looking stock. (my rifle also has great looking wood). I am using either RX-15 or IMR 4064 and 400gr bullets. Have not really done anything with lighter bullets although I want to try the 350gr Barnes X. Good shooting

i had the same thing.. the lop is a bit too short, and cost me a brow cut.

your front base or ringmay be on backwards.. see if it gets in the way of loading... it may be too short on the scope to allow for you do anything abou tit.

min loved win760 and hornady 400 gr sp's

Fill your cases with 78 grs. of RL-15 like CharlieNoak sez and a 400 gr. Nosler partition...same load with a good solid and your in tall cotton, with a killing machine, and a mild load thats a proven killer of big mean things...

That new 416 Nosler is about the best Cape buffalo bullet I have ever used, its the best thing since sliced white bread. A flat nose solid is the best solid on the market today..Northfork has some, but I have not used them..GS Customs has the best I have used but they are hard to come by, but I have a supply...
