Yes, South Africa is great. Allthough our average hunts are not all the scary stuff you read about. On most farms the big five are not present. But we have an abundance of good game to select from. My favourite is Kudu. Hence the Sako 300H&H as a big bull can be quite a tough animal to put down.

We have fallow deer that has been introduced many years ago.

Herewith my fallow deer and kudu.

Yes, very beautiful animals, 8 shots!  You're lucky to have a large variety of game animals to hunt, my friend!

 

Glad to hear you got your Sako trigger to your liking, 2506!

I had the rifle returned from the gunsmith. He had set it at 2,5lbs, but it did not hold the setting for long. I fiddled with it for hours myself. Pulled the whole thing apart. No go. I think being an old rifle it has worn away or something. The safety catch is also suspect. So only one thing left, replacement trigger.

We have an engineering company in Johannesburg that makes Timney type triggers. Will try them.

Thanks for your advice. Will keep you posted.

8 shots, I responded to your Sako trigger adjustment question in your "identify set screws" thread.  I personally don't think the Timney is a significant improvement over the stock Sako trigger, once properly adjusted.  Now, if the safety isn't functioning properly, that's another thing entirely!

 

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
