Top rifle, does Kimber make a short action for the wsm?

I believe so. Funnily enough there is a Kimber sub alpine in 300wsm on TM at the moment.

8 inch buck.

First one I've shot solo. He was scarparing away and stood on a bluff looking down at me. 405y away and his hooks looked bigger by the 30 degree angle .

1 shot with the 7mm08 bushpig off the pack whilst trying not to slide off the side of a bluff and he came tumbling down. Now I'm invigorated to get a 9"+ buck come May

First Cham for me, touching 9" on the long side. Spotted at 600m and closed in to 150m, the 7mm08 did the rest.

Too right, had the back legs over my shoulders on the way out and couldn't help but think the skin would make a good rug despite the heat

Congrats that's a stunner @JBNZ
