The 8x57 with a 200gr. Bullet is a great combo. It's what I used in Namibia last year based on advice from my friends there. It will be what I take when I go back. They also speak very highly of the Norma oryx, but I used partitions because of availability in component form. Pick the 8x57 and start worrying about taxidermy. Good luck.
