Hey guys,

This is just for a bit of fun...

When I win the 'AFRICA SUN SAFARIS' hunt of a lifetime these are the rifles l'm going to take:

Weatherby Vanguard
.300 Weatherby Magnum
180gn Woodleigh PP @3100fps
For
Impala, Warthog and Gemsbok (I'm adding that one!)

Zastava M70
.458 Winchester Magnum
450gn Barnes TSX 0r Atomic 450gn Copper HP @ 2150-2200fps
For
Blue Wildebeest

So there you go, thats what l'm taking when I win!
What are you taking when you win??

Cheers,

Russ
 
I will use Justin’s 375 CZ that I just used in Feb 2020. The more I shot it the more I liked it and now need to buy one. Great all round caliber. I just got back but would like to go back again. Justin is a great PH will be a fun hunt.
 
I will take my same old Remington model 700 in .300 win mag with hand loaded 200 grain trophy bonded bear claws. I took it once and it was excellent up to and including a blue wildebeest-which I would definitely like to have another one! And since we are adding stuff while there I want to take an eland. . . so maybe my Sako .375 wby mag. just to get it blooded. I'm working on a 235 grain load for it with woodleigh soft points when the weather allows. Now you have got me to dreaming!
Lovely nilgai in your avatar, thats near the top of my bucket list with those same rifles

.375 Ruger in Blaser R8.
Your .300 will be perfect for all the Pg you want to hunt.
 
Well I am taking my Ruger #1 in 375 H&H and my Ruger Guide Gun in 416 Ruger
 
Mauser 93 in 7x57mm
175 grain soft point bullets for plains game

Rock Island Springfield 1903 in 9.3x62 (once I get it rebarreled, that is)
285 grain soft points for larger plains game
275 grain Norma solids for dangerous game where allowed
 
I would like to see someone win who in their lifetime would never be able to afford a hunt such as this...... and would appreciate it.

That's me my friend! Africa is nothing but a dream away for me - but I think about it daily and have even planned my trip!
l'll tell you a secret, when l'm hunting deer in Australia, secretly in my mind I'm in Africa hunting exotic species... the mind is a wonderful thing...
l'm sure there are plenty of other people in a similar situation so I want to wish EVERYONE the very best of luck.
Fingers crossed!!!

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
