Agree with the others..talk to your PH..

Depends on where you will be hunting..in my experience..shots in Zim are fairly close..think the longest shot I have ever taken there was 265 yards on a bushbuck while we were after elephant..used a 1.75x6 VX3--Leupold..have used that scope on 4 hunts in Africa --NO problems thus far..

Shots in South Africa or Namibia, in my experience shots tend to be a bit longer than those in Zim.

The other rifle I usually take is my HS Precision in 300 Ultra--which I prefer for plains game-- I have a 4.5-14 VX3 Leupold on it..have used that fun for the past 10 years or more--have never had an issue with either gun or scope..have have literally put hundreds of rounds through it...
