Which rifle should I take to Africa???

[The Blonde]

Guys

First hunting trip to eastern cape
I have the the choice of three rifles
7x64
308 Remington model 7
308 norma magnum

All are suppressed and shoot MOA

Will be culling springbok, blesbok and maybe wildebeest...

The one you shoot best and are most comfortable with!

 

[375 Ruger Fan]

sierraone's reply is good. Assuming your are comfortable with all three, I'd vote for the 308, Rem Model Seven.

What he said.

No rational reason, 7x64

I am mostly fooling around with the 7x64 these days.... We seem to get along quite well... Might just be my companion for the trip

sounds like the one to go for then.

I'm definitely pro brenneke! Will seriously shine when hunting the game you have specified. Enjoy the hunt, let us know how it goes and send us pictures! Where are you hunting?

 

[The Blonde]

I'm leaning towards him....
I'll be hunting north east of Port Elizabeth, Craddock, Richard Holmes safari....
I will definitely be posting pictures and a hunting report

7 X 64 just because I don't like 308.

Everyone has a .308. Take the 7x64.

 

[bassasdaindia]

7x64 would be my first choice

 

[sestoppelman]

Well I will add to the 7x64 crop. Its a favorite of mine and my most accurate sporting rifle EVER is so chambered. It literally shoots like a match rifle. Its a CZ of course. I think the .308 would also be fine but would leave the mag home, you wont need it.

Haha spike. No marius does gay blue small shorts he is not crazy enough to wear a pink shirt. I just hope one day I can bring some pinks shirts to zambia.



As for the question on this thread take the one you shoot the best.

X 2

If your outfitter has spare ammo for your cal take any one you shoot well. if not 308 ammo can be found anywhere. luggage sometimes gets lost guns not so much

thanks now i do remember they were all dressed in powder blue.......... and thanks but there is really no need to do that

 

[greyfox]

Not EVERYONE has a 308... I don't own one...

 

[The Blonde]

I think I'm pretty settled on the 7x64... We do seem to get along quite well.
