I have shared a similar thought with friends that have flat shooting cartridges intended and regularly used in western US.

However, I can also see where putting a scope on a rifle that.is otherwise perfectly suited for the intended use, like this seems to be, and not worry about using every feature. A 1-4x scope on a heavy magnum like that, with intention of using it on 20-150 yd shots, without using the advantage of the dial, isn't all that much of a handicap.

I hunted South Africa this year, and one of my take aways was that both.of.my rifles had scope that dialed down to 4x. I thought that wpukd be plenty low enough. When I go next time, my scopes will probably be in the 1-8x or 2-10x range.

Where did you hunt in SA?

Was it Hilly? We hunted the flatland toothbrush country near the Botswana border the first time back in 2013 with an outfit called Limcroma.

The land we hunted was very diverse as far as topography goes. This was a very pleasant surprise for us. Steep slopes, and mountains, rolling plains, low flat lands, it had it all.
