tophet1, thanks for sharing the youtube video - nice gemsbok.

osix, I was seriously considering bringing my .338 to hunt with, but my .338 rifle is a Browning BAR and from what I understand, that rifle is illegal to bring into South Africa (correct?)

My .30-06 is a Browning A-Bolt, and I know that's legal. If somebody understands this differently, I'd love to hear your opinion, because I'd love to take my BAR - it is a very nice rifle. Otherwise, I'm thinking it will be the .30-06.

I am very confident with the Federal Premium Trophy Bonded in 165 gr. and my shooting skills out to 150 - 200 yards. It's very flat shooting and if it can penitrate like tophet's picture, than I think it may be the ticket... it think.
