“african plains game”

Here are five reasons why you need to book an African plains game hunt now.

Imagine the significance the Browning Buckmark carries now that it is the headstamp for a new line of centerfire rifle loads available in two different bullet types designed for hunting all North American big game.

The .375 bore is the legal minimum for dangerous game in many African countries, and with good reason: it generates just over 4,000 ft.-lbs. of energy at the muzzle, and offers a bullet with enough Sectional Density to get the job done, and done well.

“Only accurate rifles are interesting.” So goes the quote from Col. Townsend Whelen, and he was right.

The Champion Arms rifle and scope package sells at $6,900, but for a traveling hunter looking for a weather-proof, accurate and absolutely reliable rifle in a caliber that will handle 95 percent of the world’s game, this rifle won’t let you down.

Participants, outfitted with Weatherby Camillas and Leupold optics, spent two days developing their skills to shoot at distance and in varying weather conditions in Wyoming.

You’ve probably heard that African dangerous game can absorb five hits from an Abrams tank and keep on charging. You’ve probably heard that kudu, eland, wildebeest and even impala are so tough from evading lions and leopards they’ll soak up bullets that would floor a North American brown bear. Nonsense.

The in-flight and on-game performance that Winchester's Expedition Big Game and Expedition Big Game Long Range cartridges promise is too good to ignore.

Remington’s 7mm Mag. came on the scene and won the hearts of many hunters looking to use a bullet of less than .30 caliber, and quickly overtook the .264 Win. Mag., forcing it into near-obscurity. And, in spite of the myriad attempts to produce a 7mm Mag. that will better the performance of the Remington version, it still maintains its seat at the head of table.
