[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 63402, member: 1622"] All, Very many thanks for your comments. [b]Barrel / Calibre:[/b] 9.3x62 seems broadly acceptable. 400m would be the absolute shot of exception; I'd just like to know I could do it if that was the only chance offered at some amazing beast. I would tend to choose 9.3x62 over the less common (over here) alternatives due to ammo availability. Do you agree with 22" heavy fluted -or should I simply be thinking of heavier than standard? [b]Stock:[/b] Interested in the comment on stock selection. I realise the A5 is an unusual choice. Not too worried about people laughing (I've taken my AW to the hill after reds, so I'm used to that!). This is to be a left-handed rifle, and I don't particularly like the grip angle on conventional rifle stocks, rather limits my choice! I'd prefer an ambidextrous thumbhole, but don't know of one. Any other suggestions (synthetic)? Rimfire: The plan is for summer after next. 90% it will be South Africa. Large, Non Dangerous game. [/QUOTE]
