[QUOTE="hybridfiat, post: 1007708, member: 72793"] That sounds like a very sensible combination. Being in Europe you need a caliber that is easily found, the 6.5 Swede fits that perfectly. Another would be the 7 x 57. I have a 6.5 x 55 Swede and like it a lot. As long as you choose your projectile carefully it will shoot very accurately everything from rabbits, as long as you dont expect to keep anything (detonating them is very entertaining) to medium size deer. The .338 Win Mag I've shot but not hunted with. An acquaintance used his in the Northern Territory to knock down buffalo, he said it was very effective. I have seen first hand how accurate this caliber is and was well impressed. Good luck. By the by have you considered the Browning Maral. It is as ugly as a hat full of arseholes but is accumulating a good reputation here. gun) [/QUOTE]
