I took my Ruger M77, Mark II in 30-06 to Africa. The Warthog was at a water hole at about 85 yds standing broadside, and one shot from my Ruger brought him down. I was using Nosler Accubond 180 grs reloads.

I think the decent thing to have done was invited all of us to come with you... all expenses paid of course

Very nice and by the expression on your face it would seem your cure for depression works very well.

Congrats on the Warthog. It pays to use the best on a hunt like that.

Cool! Well done.

Oh, to be able to go to Africa to hunt!

Trying hard to not be jealous!

The ruger was my back up rifle, and I couldn't leave Africa without shooting something with it. The Warthog was the last animal I took. OK guys (by popular demand) here are a couple of more, these were taken with my 300 Weatherby.

This trip was my 50th birthday gift, and it took over 2 1/2 years of saving and commitment on the trip. My wife went with me, and she was getting tired of me saying "after Africa" for anything she wanted to do. LOL!!!! It was a trip of a life time, and I'm glad I did and that my wife was part of it.

Thanks for all your comments, and I'm glad you are enjoying the pictures.

FANTASTIC! Great hunt - congratulations! I would surely love to do that someday. Thanks for the pictures.

 

[bwinters]

Very good the 30-06 will take almost anything that does not qualify as the big 5.

 

[rantingredneck]

Thanks for sharing the photos. I have the 77mkII All Weather in both .30-06 and .308. My favorite hunting rifles. All my hunting thus far has been in the US though. Would love to do Africa some day. Will likely have to win the lottery first though .
