Not an easy answer since there are so many choices..... Forgoing the obligatory 22lr and 12 ga, I will go with what I already have and use. 44 Mag (pistol and rifle) 250 Savage 300 Wby 375 H&H 405 Win

I have two... a mint condition Savage 99 .358 Winchester I had a chance at in a Colorado gun shop a few years ago. Second is a custom BRNO XKK 602 .375 H&H. Great wood, double square bridge action, 25" bbl, express sights, single-set trigger, etc. Built for a hunt that never happened.

There was one in the Cabela's gun library last week.

Jurgens/WildRose, Thanks for all the information on calibers, bullets, etc. Based on your suggestions and talking with some reloading buddies, I picked up some Hornady Interbond bullets. 139gr - 7mm; 165gr and 180gr .308. Will work up some loads this week end. Started looking at the...

WildRose, I'll give them a try; 180gr SST BT Interlocks to start.

Jurgens, thanks for the detailed info, very helpful. Right on with what my friends are telling me. I'll probably go a bit over gunned with my 30-06 and possibly a .300 Win Mag. I use a 165 gr Accubond for the 30-06 and like the 200 gr for the .300 which I have used in a 300Wby. Lots of...

I will be hunting in the Central Karoo area near Beaufort West. My wish list of game would include smaller game like Impala, Blesbok, Bonte Bok, Black Springbuck and hopefully a couple larger game animals e.g. Kudu and Blue Wildebeest. Haven't decided on whether Eland and Gemsbok are on the...

Thanks for all the great information. I've started work on the necessary paperwork for the FAs, etc., plus have some info from a couple of airlines. MORE to do though.

I've been invited by a co-worker to spend a couple of weeks at his home in S. Africa this summer and do a little hunting. I typically hunt with a 7x57 or .308 and was thinking of getting a .300 WM since my friend and the others on the hunt all use one. Thoughts? WM or WSM? Light Mountain Rifle...

I totally agree, my first AR10 was an Armalite 10T, really liked it but wanted something I designed. I know a couple of the guys on the JP Rifle 3 Gun Team and shot theirs before I decided on what to build. I had a M1A built at Camp Perry years ago, just didn't shoot it much once I got into...

No billionaire here, working stiff like most folks. Have you looked at the price of comparable custom or semi-custom bolt lately? 3000 - 5000 It's like anything else, you buy quality, you buy it once. It's all about what you like. This goes with everything, guns, cars, whatever. I save until I...
