Cheers from Italy

[Lorenzo]

Hi everyone, I'm Lorenzo from Tuscany in Italy.

 

[Lorenzo]

Great land of hunting such a huge variety of species, wild boar, red deer, fallow deer, mouflon, roe deer, chamois...

Found this amazing forum preparing my first trip to SA (eastern cape) in 2019 with my wife and my little princess (she will be 5 at that time).

SA has a special place in my heart, my grandfather used to work there for 20 years in the 50thies.

Welcome to AH, What brings you to this great forum?

 

[Lorenzo]

I own (also..) a Blaser R8 in 7mmRM that I guess will fit well to most plains games and I can easily transform it in a .40 caliber just buying the proper barrel.

sorry I have some problem posting the entire presentation

Welcome to AH, Lorenzo. Glad to have you here.

My preferred trophies would be Kudu, Oryx, Sable, Warthog, Eland, Springbok, Impala and at the top: buffalo. Non attracted by cats and other dangerous games, but no one can tell at the moment..

Welcome to AH Lorenzo. Lots of African PG has been taken with a 7 MM Mag. Is it the optimal caliber? I'd have to say no, the ability to change calibers by switching out the barrel is an awesome idea.

There are a lot of calibers that come to mind. My minimum for PG would be a 30-06 on up to a 9.3 x 74. Ammo availability needs to factor into your choice of calibers. If you are harboring any thoughts of a Cape Buffalo or other Dangerous Game (DG) you will need a 375, whether a H & H Magnum or a Ruger. Of those two, there is a greater selection of bullets and a much wider availability of ammo for the 375 H & H Magnum. I'm sure you will be inundated with others favorites.
