Thread: Bushpig/Superpig build

You're exactly right @300_BLK not light transmission - " my bad" but to me it had a far better depth of field and compared to my vortex heaps better in low fading light.

But you're right not exactly a apples for apples comparison. But definitely more dial. Was a real find for me anyhow.

They look like good scopes !

I've shot sambar stags with 308 and 7mm Rem Mag, they both killed the same.

If you are a 30 cal man and are interested in a bit longer range I would go 300WSM.

If you go the 7mm route ( I have) for sambar you will need to use 2 different projectiles to shoot them from 0-600. I found Barnes 150 TTSX ideal for close work in the thick stuff and then 160ELD-M for shots 300 and over. I'm shooting them at 3200fps so the ELD-Ms are to soft any closer than 300 but have knocked over a 29" stag at 400 and wouldn't hesitate to shoot at 500. I zero for the ELD-M and the Barnes shoot an inch left and low so under 300 on a sambar size target makes little difference especially in the bush of hand
