[QUOTE="D.P., post: 63408, member: 2541"] Brown Dog The reason I asked country, area and animals is because I went through the same thing. A friend tried to talk me into a med. to large Cal. The area I hunted was in the Eastern Cape and wide open. You could set up prone and cover some huge bottoms. I shot a 300 Win Sendero and it worked well. I used NBT's and picked my shots on the larger animals, (all went down with one shot) When I go back to South Africa it will be further north, shorter shooting and I will use a heavier Cal. in a shorter rifle. Reason being if I see a nice Kudu at say 100 yards there may not be time to wait, like on the open plaines. I want to be able to take a hard quartering shot, and know it will work so the NBT's will stay home and the 375 H&H will be there. I think your choice will work fine for the distance described. One last thing, the PH doesn't pay for the hunt so who cares what they think about the rifles looks, If you shoot it well, use it. At first my PH seemed concerned about the weight of the sendero. By the end of the trip he was burning up my ammo shoting rock rabbits over a canyon. [/QUOTE]
