Took this 36" bull on public land in New Mexico with a pre 64 mod 70 super grade 375 H&H @ 240 yrds. My first Oryx, these animals taste great!

240 yards with open sights? You're a better man than me, nice shooting!
My 13 YO daughter has a oryx tag for February on the WSMR, we are looking forward to it!
Nicely done, they are a fantastic animal.

Nice New Mexico bull! The .375 works great on oryx.

Good bull! Classic rifle! I had the pleasure of accompanying my elk hunting partner on his Oryx hunt on White Sands. That was fun!

Freakin' awesome man. Beautiful bull and nice choice in rifles... I'll never get to the dark continent, so the missle range is likely my best opportunity. Thanks for sharing the pic!

Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. - Henry David Thoreau The best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back. - Robert Ruark

I have a Classic M-70 in .375 H&H; not a pre-64, but a slick, accuarte rifle.
What load did you use on the oryx?

That's a real good bull----Conglads. I did the WSMR Stallion hunt a few years ago. It's a good fun hunt. CB
