Rich, I shot a zebra in south africa with numzaan safaris. We hunted a small herd of 6 zebra all day long. Did not get a clean shot with my model 70 in 30-06 until very late afternoon. Zebras have keen hearing and other senses. One of the hardest to stalk on foot. Imho

They are indeed tough Allen. I used a 338 once and a custom 416 Taylor on the other one. People not in the know think they are like a barnyard animal nothing is further from the truth.

MY favorite rifle is Browning 78 in 25-06 it has served me well dropping many deer.
Also very partial to ruger no 1 in any any caliber.

I remmember first seeing a Browning 78 in 22-250 when I was about 12-14 woulda been around 73-75 anyway I always thought they were nice looking . I got a 78 octagon barreled gun in 25-06 about six years ago , did very well on paper but I never hunted it before I sold it . Ruger #1’s on the other hand have killed a veritable pile of deer for me . I did however get one of the semi recent manufacture Winchester 1885’s in 270 WSM and I did knock over a deer with that one . I wish I’d chronographed my handloads in that rifle , I suspect with the 28” barrel they were doing pretty well .
