I've not hunted the rain forest (yet), but several of my friends have. They made no special adjustment to their choice of rifles or ammunition.
Some of them did change to lower-powered, but brighter, scopes however; S&B or Zeiss 1.5x-6x42mm replaced Leupold 2.5x-8x scopes on their .375s, and the Swarovski or Zeiss 1.25x-4x (or equivalent) replaced Leupold 1.5x-5x scopes on .416s.

Hello Mads

I have traveled to the rainforest of SE Cameroon 3 times with about 60 days hunting and guiding. There is a great variation in the vegetation within different areas which change the clothing requirements.

I believe I have found the best combinatin of equipment and guns to suit the area I have visited. As far as my gun I carry a Sako TRG-S in 450 Ackley, no scope, shoot 500 Grain X-bullets. If you would more info let me know.
