Which rifle should I take to Africa???

Well that's what matters is that you take the one you shoot the best.
 
Yesterday's grouping with the 7x64 at 100 meters.

Now is is time to get off the bench and onto the sticks.
 
Keep up the practice as it will make the actual shooting much easier.
 
Hi to "The Blonde "
Good to see another female AH member!
I have been very lucky to go twice to the Eastern Cape, both times I took my 308 win.
You are lucky to be spoilt for choice, the 7x64 is amongst the top 5 continental cartridges in SA and we all know how popular the 308 win is! The 308 Norma , if you get separated from ammo carry case that could be an issue, plus the plains game you are looking at the first two will handle.

If you putting in range time with the 7x64 go with that, it has a longer history out in the field than the 308 win, get plenty of practice on sticks invaluable out in the bush and listen to your PH and above all enjoy, look forward to the report on your trip.

Best Regards
Ps my friend DM Shooting would like to know about the 308 Norma
 
I believe we have a winner. Use the 7x64 and don't look back.
 
Your PH will advise you on what distance to zero your rifle , he will know what the average distance of your shots will be .

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks

hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
