Yeah, I'm thinking a .300 of some sort would be the hot setup. I'd have to sell the 257, though, as money is going to be extremely tight. Maybe I could do a trade - dunno.

A 300WM with a good Leupold and shoot the wheels off of it before I go.

Or, I could do what the client did that I met on my last safari. To the PH: "Here's my gun. I've never shot it. Can you sight it in for me?"




I actually bought a Cooper 30-06 for this very reason...have a Leupold VX3 on it in 3.5 -10
have never hunted with it yet---but when I go back over for another leopard..that is what I plan to take..really, IMHO, dont need a mag for leopard...hit them right and like all other game, they are dead..period..

Used a .300 Ultra on the first leopard..shooting 200 gr A-Frames--certainly did the job..but definitely not needed as to that type of power...
