[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 2583729, member: 25760"] I'm sure you'll have a great time in RSA. Your wife's new rifle sounds pretty sweet. I'm going to suggest that the 85 gr bullet could be on the light side for a sable. They are pretty good sized animals...... The Nyala should be fine. I've been to Africa a few times and have taken 3 sable. The one I took this year went around 100 yds after a good hit from a 180 gr bullet from my 7 SAUM. He was dead, but just didn't know it . Took a while to find in the tall grass. A sable is the size of an elk for reference. I'd be cautious about a newer hunter shooting one with that setup. Your safari. Your money. Your call. Best of luck. Looking forward to hearing about your safari. Bruce [/QUOTE]
