sako 75 in 9.3x62 with a schmidt&Bender 2.5-10x56.

light fast bullets get blown around by the wind. heavy bullets are consistant and always hit like a freight train.

on a side note, generally the minimum caliber for cape buffalo is 375 but there are exceptions mad for 9.3 as it is .366.

how many barrels can I have?

I'll stick with my T/C Encore with the 28" 300 win mag barrel. I would like to upgrade the glass to a Leupold...a VXII 4-12 or something along those lines.
