[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2438394, member: 116439"] When Ruger came out with the 375 Ruger Mag Safari I wanted one BAD! BUT that was for going to Africa DG smallest caliber allowed. I know guides that have taken many Buffalow, Lion. Leopard with a 338Win Mag. We got a 325WSM (larger than a .300 and not a .338) when it first came out with the idea to take any NA animals with AB or Partitioned Bullets and also Africa. Dropped Moose, Eland, Kudu, Zebra, Blue Wildbeast, and many more with 200gr ABs. One shot! Get yourself several rifles for all NA Game. Start with : 234 Winchester 6.5s--260 Rem/6.5X284 270 WSM 284-7mm plenty to pick from 325WSM .338LM My favorite five for Antelope to Brown Bear 243 Winchester 260 Rem 6.5X284 270 WSM 325 WSM Thanks Len & Jill [/QUOTE]
