This is the combination I will be using this summer for our first safari in RSA:
Blaser R8 professional success 9.3x62 mm with semi-weight flutted barrel
Zwarovski Z6i 2nd generation 1,7-10x42 BT SR
I sold my Blaser Express in 9.3x74R and my CZ in 7x64 to keep only this ONE rifle for all the hunt I will be doing now.
2 wild boars, 1 roedeer and 1 fox were taken with that R8 and my Aimpoint Hunter 34S, at the very end of the driven hunt season in France. The thumbhole is magic.
For a few weeks now, I have been testing a wide variety of ammunitions (15), to select the one that offer the best grouping at 100m and 200m in this rifle. So far only only two 286 grs rounded soft nose with bonded core remain in the short list. The final selection should be completed in a few weeks now.
