How about the 7mm-08 Remington for Argali. I know that it drops less than the 308.

I am looking to purchase a new scope either a Leica or Zeiss Scope and Binoculars, however I wear glasses all the time as I am short sighted but have still managed to shoot and hit the target with a scope but I have to hold the binoculars slightly off my glasses to be able to see. What I would...

I think Piers "I have to have the last word" Morgan needs to check his facts. African Elephant populations are increasing across Africa not declining. That's according to IUCN.

I have found this article and also have uploaded the pic.From Discover on Google https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/can-you-spot-the-snow-leopard-in-this-viral-photo-from-himachal-pradesh-2142983.html

"LIAM URRY SAFARIS"

We all know that hunting is a great tool for conservation. This article is from the telegraph haven't read it all. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/comment/the-ethics-of-trophy-hunting/. You will have to register to read it.

Now I would love to use a sniper rifle on sheep but believe me as a former Army Cadet Force ASOL Group SAA Instructor and NCO for the Reserves on Emergency Deployment Only those rifles kick like a bloody mammoth mule with steel shoes with iron nails in them on. I know this having shot them in...

Yes, I consistently practice from 275 metres in the field and at the range with a friends BLR in .300 Win Mag, do you think I should practice from 365 metres then 459 metres. I will have to vary my licence here in order to purchase one

Thanks for all the replies. I will probably use either a 7mm Rem Magnum and a .300 Winchester Magnum but they would both be Browning BLRs. The only problem is I don't know whether or not the BLR has a range of 365 - 458 metres (400-500 yards), I do know they can get 275 metres (300 yards) but...

I have shot the .338 Lapua, Yes it does have the distance but it is heavy to carry and has a kick like a Clydesdale horse with steel shoes on. The recoil is hard. I would either shoot a 7mm Remington Magnum or a .300 Winchester Magnum on an Argali Hunt, less recoil that the lapua.

WINTERSHOEK SAFARIS

WANT ONE

I am thinking about using a crossbow as well as a bow and rifles for hunting in Africa. I know that Nambia and Zambia do not allow crossbows and that some parts of South Africa allow crossbows. So where else outside of these allow hunting with a crossbow.

What about the 6.5 Short Action Ultra Magnum for an Argali hunt

Trophy hunting and hunting in general are good for every species. If it was not for hunters then the Spanish Ibex, Alpine Ibex as well as other species would be extinct in the wild. Hunters brought them back from the brink that is what non-hunters and antis don't understand. Animals need our...

I am wondering what would be the best rifle to use for stalked Dangerous Game (Elephant, Rhino, Hippo, Buffalo and sometimes Lion). I am pretty good with a Lever Action rifle as this was what I learned to shoot first but however I am thinking a double in either over and under or side by side in...

Would these bullets work on thin skinned dangerous game such as lion and leopard or would the swift a frame be better

Just been watching this at home and would like some views. I think this is very interesting. http://www.itv.com/news/2016-03-15/prince-william-itv-news-poaching-trophy-hunting-rhino-elephant/. I know Prince William the Duke of Cambridge thought that the whole Cecil the lion thing was...

All of them but I would personally go for the 450/400 because the recoil is more manageable

Would anybody use a .458 Winchester magnum on lion, my preference would still be the .416 Rigby

What about the 300 h&h magnum

I was wondering would a .308 Winchester would be suitable for Eland (Giant and Common) and also for the Argali Sheep. I will be using Barnes TSX Bullets on both animals.

yes it does refer the 450 rimless but however my preference for lion would be the 416 Rigby in a bolt action or a 470 nitro express in a double rifle. I would prefer to use the double rifle as you would get two shots.

My choice now after firing them, would be the Barnes Triple Shock even though I would still prefer the Nosler Partition, would the Barnes be any good on African Lion. An Adult Officer in the Cadet Forces agrees with me.

That's what I thought, the Nosler Partition would be the best, my cadet colleague thought a solid would be better because it was a large apex predator, I told him that you only use solids on thick skinned dangerous game such as Buffalo, Elephant, Hippo and Rhino, never on Lion or Leopard they...

I got into a bit of a debate with a fellow Army Cadet Force Skill at Arms Instructor over bullet choice for hunting African Lion, we both agree that the calibres used would be between .375 HandH Magnum - .450 Rigby but it is the bullet choice, he says a Solid Flat nose would be best where as I...

I am wondering, what would be the best spiral horned antelope to hunt on a first time safari to South Africa, I'm thinking about a Cape Bushbuck but what other ones would be suitable.

Yes, Dundee, Scotland

Around Kristiansand. It was with the Black Watch Army Cadet Force Battalion on a trip, the Skill at Arms Officers and Instructors were invited to a private estate to hunt deer.

Hello everybody, I've hunted a lot in the U.K mostly after Roe deer but I have hunted in Norway after Red and Roe deer. I am mostly a Mountain and Plains Game Hunter but will hunt Dangerous Game if I have to. I am hoping to plan a trip to South Africa in the near future.
