John,
My 9,3x74r is a Tikka 512 with 12ga interchangeable barrels. This makes it a very flexible gun. Mainly I use it for wing shooting with the 12ga barrels. Though I did take a nice whitetail with Brenneke slugs in those barrels. With the 9.3 barrels I try to go after whitetail and boar where rifle hunting is permitted. As I have yet to get to africa I can only speculate on how well it would work on plains game, though from what I have read it should do the job quite well. The only shortcoming is the lack of solids available, leaving tackling anything bigger out of the question if there were no legal min caliber. Though I am very happy with this set-up I think I would prefer 375 magnum for the added punch and bullet availability. Do you know of anyone trying for Aussie buff with a 9.3? If so I would love to know their thoughts.
regards, Hal
