MS 8x60S spectacular kills!
10/04/21 05:52 PM

Was taking the old girl out for her second hunting trip 2 weeks ago! First trip last year was dry! Not even a shot fired... This trip however turned out great!
Classic walk and stalk in the Eastern Cape area in SA. Lots of game.
This guy was busy digging all over the place when i stumble upon him. Shot at 60 yards. He ran off and fall over after 30 yards. I used 196 grain bullets.

Enter just behind shoulder, but did not exit other side.
We later recovered the bullet. After it entered, it went sideways to the hind quarter, where we find it below the skin. Retained almost all of its weight.

later in the day i stumble upon this bluewildebeest. I stalked it for about 30min until we manage to get to a opening in the bush. As the wildebeest stopped and turnded to look back, I took the shot of shooting sticks. It was one of those once in a lifetime shots... the wildebeest drop right there in it tracks! Afterwards i walked the distance at 150yards on the dot. On examination the bullet hit perfect in the neck, broke the vertebrae and went through! I must admit it was a lucky shot!javascript:void(0)

As we all know, the bluewildebeest is one tough bugger! I must say i'm quite please with the 8x60S performance on both animals, and this is now one of my favourite rounds! The little MS rifle is also a dream to carry for the whole day, and i now understand the term snap shots, as both animals was shot within 1-2 seconds after i had the opportunity of a shot.
