This should be pretty much in that class for me. The sling does make a bigger difference in my view than a few extra oz. Mauser M18 Arken EPL 4-16x 44 Rifle 7.4lbs

Very interesting to see the results, and I think overall this community is better prepared for their hunts than the normal hunter.

I think I would test these. Will work for some plains game also.

I do bow hunt. Have not lost an animal yet. But it is in South Africa on Bow hunting farms with bow blinds on ground level and shots at 20 yards. Hoyt 70lbs Rage 2 blade on Easton arrows. From Axis to Bloodline arrows.

Smaller could have worked most of the time, but i just felt that with gun, I must be able to take any shot, at any angle, at any reasonable distance. Like I said, is my large PG rifle, but I mainly hunt Kudu, have done 2 Gemsbok with it, and hope to do a Blue wildebeest and a Eland soon. Did the...

I think multi species in Limpopo or Kalahari might almost be an easier answer. With the vast difference in Kudu hunting conditions a dedicated Kudu hunting rifle is a tough one. What I have used in Limpopo when I stayed there did not work when I moved to the other side of the country. 80 meters...

People is trying to overthink this. If the animal does not die from one shot within a reasonable time or distance it is wounded. Yes if you shot it again while running away you and only you will know if it was necessary. If it would have died it was not wounded. If you saved yourself hours worth...

Not piss poor hunter, just normal like the other 80%, except they admit their less than perfect shots without the piss poor attitude. I hope my english make sense now.
