Complaining about a scope in Africa is like complaining about using an AR15(in suitable caliber) or AR10 for deer-"Why hunt deer with a machine gun?"-It's not a machine gun, it's a simple semiauto, and "hunting capacity" 5 round magazines are available for both. If I ever get to hunt elk, I'll be using my M1-sure, it was originally designed for shooting Germans, but it's just a semiauto .30-06, a round that has probably killed several of everything on the planet.
