Suitable Rifle and Ammunition for South African Hunting
The subject of rifles, calibers, and ballistics, is a vast and comprehensive matter and each hunter has his own ideas and is used to his own rifle.
Without going into too much detail we concentrate on the rifle and bullets which are suitable for our type of hunting in our areas. We recommend a rifle that shoots as flat as possible as we shoot up to a distance of 250 m.
Please take into account that automatic and or semi-automatic rifles are no longer allowed to be brought into South Africa.
