Rule303, I have seen a great many animals wounded with the 8X68, most likely more than you have killed

Some days my clients & I might shoot 5 or more big game animals !

When I worked in Zim it was a European rifle of some sort, I think a Carl Gustav with a Hog back stock, booted your face in as I remember & all those Euro projectiles, a few others when working in other country's & the last couple of years in South Africa with a German Weatherby & again different sorts of ammo, some worse than others, TUGs & H mantel for sure, still I don't like the .270 either for the same reason !
