Good to know, JB! I'm slated for Zimbabwe next August, combination Cape buff and plains game. I'm planning to take my 375 Ruger African as my sole rifle and shoot everything with it. I have it scoped currently with a Leupold 2.5-8X VX-3, which I figured will work for longer shots on the light stuff and close-in work for buff.


I used my Ruger Hawkeye African .375 in August on a combo DG-plains game hunt. My .375 also wears a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x, and was used both at 8x for shots approaching 300 yds. to an up-close and personal shot at 10 paces, at 2.5x. Can't imagine a better scope choice if shots are varied in distance.

I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
