Talk him into a M1999 left-handed mauser-style action. It'll be a screamer. Definitely twist and throat for the above-200g crowd!

Sharps got a couple built on the Sako action they are Hammers and awesome long range shooters tell your friend to go for it and enjoy. My cousin used his on his 2002 Safari in Namibia spectacular results.


My cousin with his Kudu and Burchell Zebra taken with a custom 30-416, He made the stock himself.

Happy Huntin' and Shootin'
