Very nice, congratulations. There aren't that many antelope killed annually with a bp cartridge rifle. Is that a MVA scope and if it is how do you like the sliding mount? I might go to a scope in the future.

Works good mounts are milled to fit in dovetails of the rifle keeping the scope low, also have multiple crosshairs which you learn their yardage so no or little messing with the elevation.

Shooting grease groove bullets in a sharps is new technology and just a passing fad.
