[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1467229, member: 88320"] Both your rifles with heavy bullets will be fine out to 1k. I’ve shot them with Bergen’s, accubonds, ballistics tips, and core locks all worked fine. Depending on which hunt you drew the Oryx can be a little spooky and start moving off at 400-500 yards. Early hunts they will stand around a little more than the later. Front shoulder is your best shot since heart and lungs are more forward and they have a large paunch. You can easily get 200-300 yard shots with a little stalking. Being able to shoot 400-500+ will be a benefit. One issue you will have on WSMR is that most of it is flat with tall brush and opportunities to go prone are few. Be prepared to shoot standing use a tripod or bipod as this will be most of your shot opportunities. Also field judging at distance is hard with Oryx which limits shot distance. It take some experience to get good at it. With once in a lifetime hunt you want to be sure your pulling the trigger on a nice one. There is a lot of Oryx and you will see 100+ a day with a little glassing. Enjoy [/QUOTE]
