Welcome aboard!
 
Giday S 3 Ranch and welcome to the A H forums.
 
Welcome to the fire. My .02 would be the 308, 178 grain ELDX would be perfect for all the plains game. All about placement, take a look at some charts on where to aim. Gemsbuck and zebra would be the thicker skin and biggest bodied animal, but no issue for what you got.

Shot a kudu, gemsbok, zebra and impala in Aug with Limcroma with no issues. All one shot.
 
Welcome from another new guy. I’m headed to RSA for a very similar list in 2024. I’m taking my .300 win mag but only because it’s the only rifle I have not completely set up for long range. If I had a light weight .308 or .270 I wouldn’t hesitate to take those.
 
Welcome, take your favorite rifle with quality bullets.
 
Good idea to check out our forum before making your first trip over. I'm pretty sure you will be hooked.....Good Luck.

Welcome to AH from rural Idaho. You have definitely come to the right place to find out what you need to know. Happy hunting and happy adventures. Sue
 
Hello S-3 Ranch,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

Your .308 rifle will work fine, as will your friend’s .270 rifle.
If you can find or hand load Swift A-Frame ammunition for those calibers, you cannot do better, in my opinion.

Of course, no matter what calibers and what bullets you guys use, it’s just like any caliber in the world = provided you shoot straight with whatever you are using.
A heart shot elephant will succumb faster to a .30-06, 220 bullet than a gut shot elephant will from a gut shot, with a .600 Nitro and a 950 grain bullet.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.

Hello,

I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?

Thank you.

Hello, I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any other left hand rifles you may let go of? Also can you send a few additional pics of Borden rifle?

Thank you.

I have a question about your scope. Is the Innomount an SR-to-Picatinny mount?
