[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1861563, member: 109378"] If you get yourself a 30-06 in light mountain rifle you'll have all the rifle you ever need. If you don't mind recoil you can even get one in a rifle that weighs 6.0 lbs. You can get ammunition in a gas station in Zimbabwe. My son has a Rem 700 mountain SS in laminate stock with a plain jane 3-9 Zeiss Conquest on it and comes in about 7.5 Lbs. PHs in Africa love that rig. No need for 338, 340, 375 etc.--that's silly IMO. Use 165/180 Nosler partition or Accubond or Barnes TTSX and you can kill anything. If you wanna play LR with it, get a scope with 16-18 magnification and dialable turrets, use those bullets with secant or blended ogive for high BC and you'll be G2G for that game as well. If you reload you can get some jacks out of your custom loads. I use 57 grs of old school IMR-4350, Nosler or Lapua brass, with CCI BR-2 primers and I get 2850 out of that rig with a 22" Bbl.
