R8? Is that a Remington?

Thanks for the info, Bob. Wow! 4,000 ft/lbs. Of energy, that's a big wallop on just about anything. Especially here in North America. That should be more than enough for Eland or, for that matter, anything I'm going to hunt. I'll have to do some research on how much a new barrel will cost...

I haven't heard enough about the 35 Whelen to have an educated opinion about it. Is it basically a necked-up 06 case?

My 06 is an older Savage 110. I got a good deal on it. It shoots real well.

Hi Ryan! Thanks for the input. I currently own an older Savage 110 in 30-06. It's good to hear you took some of the animals that I have on my list with a 30-06. (Eland, Greater Kudu, Bushbuck, Nyala, Impala, and Springbok. And if I have time, Zebra.) I'm planning on a 10–14-day hunt. I'll have...

I currently have a Savage 110 in 06. but I read somewhere that you may want a 300 for game the size of Eland. Your thoughts on the matter.

I have a left-handed Savage 110 in 30-06 right now. I'm looking for a 300 for larger plains game in South Africa.

I'm thinking about a left-handed 300 Win Mag. Does anyone have any ideas?

What a beautiful Sable!

What a great "after-action" report. I almost felt I was there with you and the rest of your party. Awesome animals! Especially the Impala and Kudu Bull. I can't wait to read about the rest of the hunt.

what an Awesome bull!

I don't usually post because I'm new on this site. However, I appreciate your post. I'm planning my hunt for 2026. I have been talking to outfitters from whom I can get reviews. I'm sorry to hear you had such a horrible experience, especially with your girlfriend being with you.

I'm working on planning a safari to South Africa right now.

Welcome aboard! This is a great site with a lot of knowledgeable people.

From one newbie to another, Welcome aboard!

Prayers for Michael! Great big atta boys to the trackers!

Another nice Kudu! you go girl !!

Nice Kudu!

Beautiful Sable! Beautiful countryside.

I've heard that Namibia is a great place to hunt. You'll have to tell me about it.

That's what I understand to be true. Good luck on your hunt. What are you planning on hunting?

Hooah! I'm a grunt myself. I live in a little town called Silsbee just north of Beaumont. I like that plan. It would be good to talk to a fellow grunt and talk hunting.

Thanks for the welcome! I do love meat. I am looking forward to trying meat from each one of the animals I harvest. I will definitely have to try some of the biltong. I enjoy trying new foods and experiences, which was the best part of my deployments.

I want to experience the culture and food of South Africa. I'm sure it is far different than anything that I've experienced so far in all my travels. (mainly to the Middle East and Germany). It should be very interesting.

Hello everyone! I'm a Retired/ disabled Army vet. I've been dreaming of hunting Africa for decades but have never had the chance to make that dream a reality until recently. I'm looking forward to any ideas or suggestions may have.
