    Current state of Dangerous Game optics?

    I have been using a Leica MAGNUS 1-6.3 × 24 illuminated for the past 5 years on my .416 RemMag trouble free. The glass is excellent , the "controls" are intuitive and the eye relief is generous.

    Cape Town recommendations?

    Vineyards in the Constancia suburb in Cape Town to visit are Klein Constancia and Constancia Uitzig where you will find amazing restaurants as well.

    Going to Africa looking for a Winchester 416

    I have hunted with Tinie Kok - MJK Safaris- for two years and going on my third. I hold him in very high regard as a ph and know I can count on him when the chips are down.

    My Take on Dangerous Game Scopes

    I shoot a .416 rem mag wearing a leica 1-6.3 ×24 with illuminated reticle. This set up has functioned without fail for 5 years now and has been good from 20 m to 200 m.
