How thin the reticle is could be dependent on first focal plane verses second focal plane scopes. If you already know this, i don’t mean to be redundant.

i was remiss by not following up on what i settled on. I decided on the Leupold VX5HD 1-5x24 with the firedot duplex. For the reason JG26irish_2 , outlined and articulated it better than i could. Some of those optics are just out of my price range. I do have a .300 win mag i can take...

I just saw the deal at raven rocks, norma made (barnes head stamped) brass. Holy smokes thats a deal! I’ll probably just order that if the haz mat fee for the primers isn’t prohibitive. Thank you guys!

Hi, Long time reader, new to posting. I am looking for some advice on scopes. I have a Winchester model 70 in 375 H&H on order. My future plan is to hunt a cape buffalo and some plains game and like the idea of a 1 rifle battery for the trip. In the mean time, i plan to occasionally use...

Howdy, I am a long time reader of africanhunting.com, finally created an account. From the Pacific Northwest, USA. My intentions are atleast 1 trip to Africa. A cape buffalo is my dream hunt someday. I am multiple years out on that. Therefore, i am doing my due diligence and educating myself...
