[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 746482, member: 11717"] Agree with Fergus about 99%. I would say that that a good rifle, especially a good custom rifle will shoot just about anything well. I have found this to be true with my factory Senderos which shoot factory ammo very well. That said, factory ammo won't give the results of precision hand loads at longer ranges but would probably be good to 500 yds or so in a good rifle. So, I think that taking a rifle in a common cartridge to foreign lands is a good idea, as I would want to shoot my own that I am familiar with, in the event my ammo didn't make it. I totally agree on the brake issue, but having an unbraked rifle available for guided hunts will open up more opportunities as there will be more outfits willing to guide such a client. If an outfitter is OK with a brake, fine, take the braked rifle. Looking at the OP's list of current rifles, I would think the 270 WBY would be an excellent choice for the African Plains.... guessing that there would WBY ammo available in Africa.... [/QUOTE]
