I just received my new Leupold VX-6HD 1-6X24 CDS-ZL2 ILLUM. FIREDOT DUPLEX (Part # 171552). I haven’t used it yet in the field, but I’m quite impressed with it so far.

Well personally I’m a bit limited on bolt action rifles, as my 7mm-08 is currently my only one. I don’t really want to buy another “small” caliber when this one should cover most PG. Otherwise I only have AR platforms that I can’t use in Africa. Later on I plan to pick up a 375 or 416 for...

Thanks for the feedback (y)

Funny! We are on opposite sides of the spectrum here. To each their own! (y) My office has “limited” room for a really large shoulder mount and I’d rather have a Buffalo than an Eland. And I don’t think a Buffalo hunt is in the cards for this next trip. Eland are an amazing species and I...

No, but great point. I’ll drop a note to them too this weekend.

Great responses! I really appreciate everyone’s feedback as this is an area I’m still learning about. Sounds like generally speaking the Barnes TTSX should be what I ask my PH about using? Fast and flat, not heavy, so maybe use the TTSX in the 140 grain? OR at 100-150 yard ranges would a...

That's a great point. In Zim we didn't take any shots further out than 200 yards and I'm told that in C9 our shots will be even closer. So my assumption in mostly 100 yard shots. So the 150 grain TTSX sounds like it would work well in this application?

Ammo availability is obviously one thing that is driving my choice here. On Hendershots only the following rounds that interest me are available in 7MM: Barnes TTSX 140 (Maybe I should consider this?) Barnes TTSX 150 Nosler Accubond 140 The AB 160 isn't in stock right now.

I used Mokore's .308 camp rifle last year. I'm not sure what grain bullet we were using, but my sister in law took a beautiful Kudu with it, one shot and ran less than 50 yards.

Thanks for the feedback Nhoro! We haven't talked with Neil yet. Gary, Dalton and Tristan were our group's PHs in Zimbabwe last year. Right now we've just been in touch with Gary about planning our next trip. As you and many others here have noted, I will without a doubt run my rifle set up...

Hi! This is my first post on African Hunting after lurking for the last year. A little background to my question......I was blessed to be invited on my first African hunt in Zimbabwe last July with Mokore Safaris at their Savé Valley Conservancy camp. Our party had an amazing time, I took a...
