Thanks for the Response! I thought i was crazy for wanting to take a 300 win mag from what others were telling me. Im not very scope intelligent nor do i know alot about the good brands or the ones i should stay away from. Ive had other people on a different forum tell me that the vortex are the best for the money and for the performance and that they are very durable. Thats the reason why im looking into them. From the research ive done it seems that you get more for your money with them than the other known companies, am i wrong? And what kind of rounds were you using if you dont mind me asking? Thanks Again
Based on the rifles you currently own, a .300 WM would compliment them nicely and would work well for Africa and other future hunts. I don't have any experience with Vortex, but I have a number of Zeiss Conquest and you can find a 3-9 x 40 for under $400.
Another suggestion, if you're planning to bring your own rifle, I'd recommend using a rifle permit "meet and greet" like
Henry Durrheim . For a first timer, it's $100 well spent to take the hassle out of dealing with SAPS.
My rifle shoots the Barnes 165 gr TTSX very well, so that's what I use. I've taken all of the larger plainsgame (with the exception of eland) with that bullet and had good results.
