Destination: Zimbabwe When: September 1-12 Who: Tony & Paul Why: Cape Buffalo x 2 plus sundry plains game Here is the scenario and two questions: 600 Overkill and 585 AHR are definitely making the trip for the big bad buffs.  My dad will bring his Rem 700Ti in 300 SAUM (also a present to him from me for his 65th - and damn, he is laser-accurate with it) for the plains game.  1. Should I bring my .416 Weatherby for PG and while my dad goes for his Buffalo? (Yes, I know there are many WBY-haters including some whom I count as friends   2. Should I bring my Merkel in 500NE and decide then which I will use for my Cape Buffalo. I guess if I don't bring it then, I will just have to go back to Africa again  Let the party begin  NRA Lifer; DSC Lifer; SCI member; DRSS; AR member since November 9 2003 Don't Save the best for last, the smile for later or the "Thanks" for tomorow | ||

Hmmmm - 600 OK with AHR-made X-bullet on Kudu ... can you repair a pelt with an exit hole that big? NRA Lifer; DSC Lifer; SCI member; DRSS; AR member since November 9 2003 Don't Save the best for last, the smile for later or the "Thanks" for tomorow | |||

It's an easy choice - .600 Overkill and .416 Wby. George  | |||

600 OK and the Weatherby. An easy choice. WOODY Everyone is allowed an opinion, even if its wrong. | |||

Ditto to the above... I'm taking 600 OK and 416 Rigby in August... Taking your 600 and 500 might be redundant… Your scoped 416 would be more versatile if a longer shot presents itself...

Looks unanimous Paul ...The 600 and the 416 and I'll add that you should have some light, fast, & flat loads for the 416. | |||
