[QUOTE="Varberger757, post: 884237, member: 66992"] Most hunters that use 8mms go for the 8x57IS or its rimmed cousin the 8x57IRS (break actions). It became very popular [B]again[/B] in the early 90's when wild pigs spread over Europe in record time, and the 8x57 IS is perfect medicine to them. :) It combines good accuracy, terminal performance on almost all kinds of European large game and has low recoil.

Unfortunately it wasn't meant for LRH and you shouldn't cross the "border" of 300m with it. :rolleyes: I will stick with the marvellous 8x68S, this top beltless magnum round that is more than good enough for all types of game (included dangerous) in Europe, North America and Africa.
