Thread: superpig, bushpig grand ambitions

I have a tikka 280 (7mm 30-06) for the same bracket, light and pointy but a big step up from my .243 for heavy bodied animals. big reds or thar at distance

the dirty 06 will do a fine job of 0-600 the hard part is the right scope for the job for that. I went with a march 2.5-25 and it was perfect for thar hunting but I sold it to buy some big game fishing gear which is more handy in my end of the country.

you can gain a lot from hand loading, and short barrels are good in the tight stuff
have a think about where 80% of your animals are shot distance wise and set your gun up for that, the final 20% will likely be where you have to make sacrifices either real close or 4-600m

what and where are you hunting?
