So on our upcoming safari I had planned on taking my .300 wsm but am now leaning towards my 300 Wby mag. I don't shoot it a lot anymore but looking through the hi room I have about 200 rounds on the shelf... I figure that's lots for some practice and the hunt. They are loaded with 180 gr Nosler Partitions which I assume is lots for any plains game??
It has a Swaro Z6i on it now, but I might switch that out for a Meopta or a LEUPOLD 3-9 vx3...
Wanted to take the WSM originally as next year my daughter is coming (she will be 12) and it's a really light kicking rifle. But over the holidays while practicing I've discovered she's way better left handed, and there's no way that rifle will work with the thumbhole stock.
So I will also need to get a gun that works for her, any ideas on a lighter caliber? Her 'wish list' is a Gemsbok, warthog and an Eland.
