|
|
| Hello all, I am new to this site and I recently took my first safari with my father and brother. I must say that it was a incredible experience that I hope I can repeat one day. I was blessed in the fact that my father took me and it has given me memories I will never forget. Here are some of my photos. |

| I hunted with an outfitter called Huntershill Safari in the eastern cape of SA. I think the neares town was Queenstown. I used a Remington 700 in 7mm Ultra Mag with 160 and 175 grain Federal Trophy bonded bear claw bullets. I do not have a bad thing to say about the outfitter or the PH. This was my first trip though so I have nothing to compare it to. |

:thumbsup1: Great that your father took you along, in a time where more and more kids don't have a relationship with their fathers it's nice to be reminded there are still some decent loving father/son relationships out there.
The Cape area is a good place to make your first trip to...good prices and tons of animals. |

Hello triggerhappyjack, excellent safari antelopes, please nuisance if not, why how much money leaves a safari similar to yours and what you think of the caliber 338 Winchester Magnum for a safari like yours?.
Thank you very much, :thumbsup1:
Ovny. |

onvy,
while prices vary on safari...i will back away from that one,
BUT...
i will comment on a 338wm...
for a plains game only safari, a 338wm is an EXCELLENT choice :thumbsup1: ...imo
if you handload, i would recomend 250 grain a frames or partitions..
if factory ammo, 225 gr a frames or 250 gr partitions...
whichever seems to shoot best from your rifle
just my $.02 |
