7mm Remington Magnum
8×68, 300 Winchester Magnum
300 WSM
300 Weatherby Magnum a podobné silné ráže s plochou balistickou dráhou

Regarding the riflescopes, the ideal ones are those with high zoom magnification, e.g. 9x and over. Light binoculars with high zoom magnification, e.g. 10 x 42, and similar ones are perfect for contemplation. A spotting scope is a very useful optical tool, and a rangefinder should not be missing in one’s equipment. On request, all these tools or equipments can be supplied by our agency at special prices.

ACCOMODATION AND MEALS

The base camps, where the hunters are accommodated in hunting lodges or trailers, are the starting point. They are equipped with electric generator and sauna; the meals are substantial and of high quality. The hunt takes place riding on horses and sometimes it is necessary to stay one or more nights in provisional camps; therefore, you need to be equipped with a quality sleeping bag.
