Good morning All - a question for this group - IF one had a choice of a Ruger "African" w/23" barrel and open sights OR a CZ550 w/24" barrel w/o sights (both in 9.3X62mm) for your plains game light/medium rifle - which would you take? Reason? Tks

I'd pick the Ruger, but both are good.
Let me add that 9.3 x 62 is the ONLY rifle you'll likely need in Africa (local regs excepted) for anything short of hippo or elephant. I have probably a half dozen Cape buffalo that will attest to its effectiveness.
Maybe if you want to go Springbok sniping in the Karoo, 25-06 would be flatter, but otherwise, you're golden with the 9.3.
