Hello All, Well I am off to SA for 3 weeks, combination of family stuff and a need to get back. I will however be sneaking off the a relatives farm, and the K-gun (470 NE) and a 300 H&H will keep me company. Plains game on the menu, should Diana smile upon my venture, are 24" sized Impala, Nice Warties, 50" Kudu, Nice Zebra rug and maybe a Blessie. ( Bles Bok ). Hope to have a report and pictures when I get back. Hope I can use the K gun for most of the hunting, bush is still really thick. Cheers Nitro "Man is a predator or at least those of us that kill and eat our own meat are. The rest are scavengers, eating what others kill for them."

Thanks for the comments, it was good to be back in SA. Here are the recovered bullets. The partition lost all of the lead out of the front cavity.   Tetonka Here is my custom mount for the red dot.    Enjoy Nitro "Man is a predator or at least those of us that kill and eat our own meat are.

Nitro 450 I was wondering if you were going to shoot a pajama donkey with that 470 and looks like you did. Did he go right to the ground? Mike | |||

Mike Pretty much, had to drill him almost lengthwise. He went 40 yards. Nitro "Man is a predator or at least those of us that kill and eat our own meat are.

nitro450exp Thanks for the pictures on the Doctor sight. Looks like you removed the block at the back of the barrels and made your mount. I did the same thing for my K-Gun with a slightly longer rail and used the Trijicon RMR with orange dot. Problem is the smallest dot is 7 MOA. My son-in-law and I share this gun. He is red/green color blind ie. the orange dot. Looks like you have a good open sight picture with the Doctor removed. Thanks again for sharing. Tetonka DRSS | |||

Tetonka Trijicon has revised the RMR and I believe it is now available in a 4 MOA dot. Corrected to 4 MOA Nitro "Man is a predator or at least those of us that kill and eat our own meat are.
