Zambian Battery
      10/05/08 04:15 AM

Hello all,

I am currently planning my second trip to Africa. I hunted plains game in Zimbabwe in '96. This time, I am headed to Zambia for Buffalo and Plains Game. I will be hunting the Luangwa valley (up near the parks). I will likely add Hippo and/ or Croc as well.

I am quite settle on a .338 win mag for my medium rifle. I am a firm believer in .338 and don't think anything has it beat in that category.

Where I am less certain is in my heavy rifle. Choice one is a model 70 (Classic Super Express) in .416 Rem. It is topped with a Nightforce 1-4 x 24. Choice two is a Brno 602 in .458 Lott. As of now, it doesnt have a scope, but i could easily move the nightforce over. I would shoot the 416 with 400gr bullets at 2400fps or the Lott with 500gr at 2250fps or so.

I shoot both pretty well, though the slim lines of the .416 make it a little easier to hanlde.

I would really appreciete any counsel available.

Thanks and Shoot Striaght!
