I have a Mauser 2000 in 8X68S, a great calibre in my opinion as it works well. It has the capability to shoot the long distances but also capable of using the heavier projectiles if needed. Mine is currently unscoped and will happily shoot out to 150 meters when hunting. Depending on the load...
I can vouch on the Boyt gaiters, as a PH they work well and they are comfortable. I would suggest them even with long trousers.

Have a look at Eulalie Hunting of South Africa. They have some fantastic kudu and impala, with a family setup lodge. They accommodate both rifle and bow hunting.

Great rifle!! I have a Mauser 2000 but its cambered for 8x68S. Hunted almost all the plains game with it and more than happy with it.
Happy shooting and keen to hear what the out come of the soot is. Enjoy!!

@Mauser78 if you ever consider selling the rifle I'd be very interested. Beautiful rifle I hope you...

Zimbabwe has a number of areas that which are known for decent buffalo like DLS said mattes, Deka and in the Bubye valley. Zambia has stopped all dangerous game hunting due to bad ethic practiced, such as leaving a wounded animals out in the field but the Luangwa valley (Nothern Luangwa National...
Im i right in saying that this bull is still a bit of a youngster? his bosses still far apart and smooth unless ive got the wrong technique for judging a trophy
Good day everyone
Im a student in the UK at the moment but home is Zambia on a maixed cattle and arable crop farm.
