The new Leica Magnus 1.5-10x42 would be ideal, has low bottom end for up close and personal and 10x for longer shots as well as illumination. As far as i am aware illumination is not illegal anywhere, the tritium powered ones can be restricted.

The other school of thought on this is that it is more ethical in the fact that you allow your quarry to know that you are there and hunting it and it actually knows it is in the game. It then has the chance to play a card whether it is fight or flight. I am not decided either way but thought...

Only fire .375H&H ammo in a .375H&H. If the rifle however is a .375 Ackley Improved it can fire .375H&H, .375 Weatherby or .375 Ackley Improved.

I think it is all very well technically and legally being able to kill DG with a 45/70, but it all turns to nothing when your PH tells you to stick your 45/70 up your arse and use the safari companies' .375! ;)

You could have a double .500 jeffery in one of these!

Heaps to do, short drive out to the many many wineries, off the waterfront you can do the robben island tour or seal tours, head up north a bit and do the great white shark trip, go up table mountain, and heaps of oher things I can't remember off hand! Not too sure about spear fishing, would...

Hmmmmmm, can get a brand spanking CZ550 .416 Rigby for $2k, but this has more appeal and heritage, decisions.....

Been perving over this beast for a few months now, the boss hasn't caved into the pressure yet though! 404 Jeffery custom rifle | Trade Me

A lot to be said for the good old Bata "Vellie!"

Here is another brilliant anti-hunter!

I thought you had decided that the .22lr was more than enough gun?

That wouldn't be Kirk Mason of Tshabezi Safaris would it?

My only concern with the 40gr would be overpenetration and potentially wounding an animal standing behind the quarry...

Sounds like a bit of fun! Got a mob up north towards the cape that we looking ar having a go at, keep us in beef for a fair while!

Ah, what about the Taranaki Scrub Bulls, they are pretty tough bastards!

Right so we have covered that the .22lr is the perfect close quarters dangerous game rifle , what do you reccomend if I want to do a bit of long range with my Brno model 1? Thinking Gemsbok out to around 1200 metres? Better to use the 40gr hollowpoint for its higher BC or go with a CCI stinger...

Cheers for all the welcomes guys, looking forward to getting into it!

Haven't got into them yet, just picked off a few fallow and a red hind this year, trying to tee up a sika hunt for next year, rumour has it there are some in the Russell forest if you can get a permit to get in there.

Cheers Bluey I am way up north, live just outside Whangarei, heaps of pigs and goats up here, have to travel a few hours south to get into the deer though!

Greetings, my name is Marc, I am a South African that has been living in New Zealand for 4 years. Did quite a bit of plains game hunting over there and now do a lot of Deer, goat, pig, etc. hunting here. Starting the process of booking a Cape Buff hunt but still in the spark beginning to...
