GENERAL INFORMATION

Rifles

We will be hunting in very diverse terrains. Which will include having to reach out to 300 yards, and also very close shooting will occur. Therefore, first and foremost a rifle that you know and are comfortable with is a huge advantage.

We recommend a calibre of .30, however from a .270 up to 375 H&H is adequate. If you wish to bring two rifles the .243 is perfect for smaller game and is a good flat fast calibre.
