I was very fortunate to find myself booked and planning what turned out to be the trip of a lifetime to the Limpopo province of South Africa. We had booked a 7 day Safari with Ranchero Safari’s to hunt plains game in late March. When we arrived in South Africa, we were greeted with incredibly lush and green vegetation, which our host Magnus attributed to an exceptional rainy season. While it provided a beautiful landscape to observe, it made the hunting conditions much more challenging. One of the things I was most surprised by is how much this part of Africa resembled some of the areas in Texas we have hunted over the past few years. The trees and brush are thick and unforgiving, with most sporting incredibly sharp barbs that love to tear your clothes and your skin.
My rifle of choice on my journey was the Savage Arms 110 Long Range Hunter chambered in .338 Lapua and I was extremely excited to use it. I’ve never hunted with a caliber larger than 300WM and so, I’ve never had the opportunity to use my Silencer Central Banish 338 Suppressor in a field application. I was incredibly impressed with the caliber, but even more impressed with how well the platform performed paired with the Silencer Central Banish 338.
