    300 WSM, 300 WM, or 300 PRC for Freestate Plains Game

    300 WSM I regret not owning a WSM , I find the short action better when a silencer is added for hunting . From a ballistic point of view between the Win Mag and the WSM there is very little difference.

    Red Dot & RMR Sights For Dangerous Game Rifles

    Excellent post , well done I went through the exercise and settled on the Aimpoint for my 458 Lott , I shoot a lot of 9mm competition and my 9mm‘s mostly use trijicon.

    Leupold Scope?

    Leupold are my favorite scopes , you don’t say what rifle you are putting it on . For PG I would recommend the VX6 2-12 only because it gives you more versatility.

    Shooting from sticks

    Shooting off sticks in SA is critical , most of my rifle shooting at the range is off my sticks .

    Cartridges Under .30 for Plains Game

    this i agree with in the above post from @shark_za : The fast 7mm's dont really offer much less recoil than a good .30 cal like a .30-06. A slower 7mm like the 7x57 is great but again its a stretch for class 4. The common 300 magnum reccomendation is based on covering all 4 with one rifle.

    Cartridges Under .30 for Plains Game

    my first question would be , in which location/area are you hunting if you are hunting in the EC or Namibia where longer shots are the norm then my suggestion would be a 6.5 or a .270 win if you are hunting in the Limpopo where the bush is generally thicker and your shots are normally closer...

    Wanted 458 Lott

    The M70 comes in 458 Win Mag and not 458 Lott , try searching for the CZ 550 in 458 Lott

    Anyone use the .270 Winchester?

    The .270 is a great long range rifle, i use mine exclusively for springbok and long range hunting in Kalahari and Namibia.

    The .375 Ruger is 13 y/o now. A look back at people's early opinions

    I think that Rugers Alaskan models had a lot to do with the success of both the 375 Ruger as well as the 416 Ruger . I am in agreement that the 375 Ruger has been better accepted than the 416 Ruger ,the 416 RM has stifled the acceptable of the 416 Ruger especially with Winchester M70 offering in...

    Poor eyesight (well, heading that way) and open sights

    This is the reason i have sold my double rifles , i was not prepared to scope them or hunt with glasses . My EDC pistols now have trijicon RMR’s for this very reason .

    Got the CZ blues

    I am in agreement with you , i am of the view that the the CZ 550 comments that some are problematic is more related to the larger 500 calibers with regards to feeding issues , this shouldn’t be confused with purchases of CZ 550’s like myself who prefer to do some cosmetic and functional work...

    Got the CZ blues

    respectfully I don't agree , my CZ 550's in 416 Rigby /404 Jeff and 458 Lott shoot moa with scopes all day long . excellent platforms and extremely accurate rifles.

    Vortex or Leupold for 375 H&H

    I am a Leupold fan , my choices would be Leupold VX3 in either 2,5-8x36 or the 3-10x40 . Both will work very well.

    Thoughts: A rifle battery for a 28 day Safari hunt...

    416 (Rem or Rigby ) 375 either a .270 or a 300 for longer shots depending on the area you are hunting.
