[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 239214, member: 2736"] Trshooter There is a lot of good advice in what every one is saying so I would recomend that you pay attention to these guys . I am a big fan of the 7 Rem mag "BUT I have many other calibres of rifles because there is no (perfict one rifle for everything ) that exist. The very best rifles are those that are purpose built for the type of game,terrain, conditions most likely to be encountered day in and day out,average distance of shots taken and even shooting position. An example= If I were going to hunt white tail deer in east texas where it is very thick with trees and brush and the longest shot would be 200 yrds almost any rifle smaller than a 7 rem mag would work very well . But if I lived in Wyoming where average shots are over 400 yrds and lots of wind I would consider a 300 mag a minimum and the 338's about right. There was a famous PH named Bell who used a 7/57 mauser to kill elephant. but not wanting to end up as elephant toe jam I would not recomend any thing smaller than a 416 for the tuskers,But if a person wants to use a smaller rifle then that is his decision and responsiblity. As some of the guys said we all try to recomend a calibre based on our experance and I personally will never tell someone there is only one calibre that will work in fact if you read enough post you will find that most recomend more than one based on what the persons requirements were. As to cheating: The only thing being cheated is the game if the wrong weapon is used. I'm not piling on Just though that you were uninformed and needed some direction. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
