I attended a local SCI Banquet this past weekend and somehow managed to be the high bidder on a South Africa Cape buffalo hunt. I got it at a truly amazing price so I’m still in shock to some degree as I never thought I’d be able to pull of a hunt like this. I am planning on going April of 2028 and have the option to add plains game for the price of the trophy fees so I’ll most likely take advantage of that while I’m there. I have a 375 Ruger that I plan to take and will be spending the time between now and then practicing. I intend to load up some 270gr TTSX and 270gr or 300gr solids. The rifle right now wears a VX3 2.5-10x36 but I may upgrade to a Trijicon Credo 1-10x28 and take the Leupold as an emergency backup. Any critique of my rifle, bullet choice and scope?
For those who have hunted buffalo, any suggestions or advice? I welcome any and all feedback as this is a bucket list hunt for me.
