I'll be using my new-to-me Kreighoff Trumpf Dural this June in the East Cape for sable, nyala, cape bushbuck, and one more something, as well as a little bird hunting if time allows. It has a capable later version 1.5-6 Zeiss with Plex ret. and a light weight version Shuler claw mount. It's in 16/16/7X65R, and I'll be shooting 160 Partitions at around 2,700-2,750 fps. Also coming is a Kimber MT 325WSM with 180s. Figured I had better do this before I can't walk anymore. These "Golden Years" are brass and tarnished, don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Good luck, Bruce! Sounds like a great trip. That 7x65R should be about perfect!
