Save yourself some time and trouble. If you want the one gun which will hunt anywhere in the world, you need one in either a .338 Win Mag, .375 H&H Mag or a .416 caliber (Rigby, Taylor or Rem).

Personally I'd buy a Winchester Model 70:

If it's going to be your only gun, you might consider getting one in stainless, although I prefer blued.

Ruger's M77 or the CZ 550 would also be good choices. All of these weapons use the Mauser-style controled feed bolts.

I own 3 Win M70's in .375 H&H, .35 Whelan Ackley Improved, and .300 H&H Mag (it was a .30-06 which I had rebarreled). My .35 is actually a pre-'64. My next rifle is going to be a Win M70 in .270 Win.

If you want any question regarding hunting rifles and calibers answered, post your question here: Accurate Reloading BBS. The people there are incredibly knowledgable and very friendly.

And here she is.

If not the real thing (its like $1500.00 +) then at least an AirSoft version (dweeby) or next time I play paintball I'll be sporting an M4 lookalike paintball gun (they have those now also). I just think its a bad bellybutton looking weapon.

Whoa Rip!

What is that? Sure looks like a Browning M2 HB or maybe an MG34?

If money is no expense, easy question, Steyr Scout:

For the money, the Savage has the best out of the box accuracy nowadays. Remington used to be, but their rifling has gone to toejam and they arent so accurate out of the box. Browning Stainless Stalker always a good best as well!

Senna.

You can buy modded guns from these guys

It is more fun then the real one cause you can shoot it in your house or yard, lol and yeah it leaves a pretty good welt.

You can get all metal ones.... better motors, better gears... you name it and it is still cheaper and more fun then the real ones.

I kinda liked my M14.

Winchester 70 was a damn good rifle too.

Nowadays, to give the cats hairballs a place to gather in the corner, there's a Mossberg Defender... just the right package fer a blind old man.

PS, just a thought. The .338 is a perfect round for anywhere in NA, but most African countries wont let you hunt the Big 5 (buff, lion, leapord, elephant, rhino) with anything less than a .375. And the .416 is a little overgunned for NA game except grizzlies and moose. So buy the .375

capt. apathy · « **Reply #25 on:** August 28, 2002, 10:36:49 PM »

I don't get to africa much, for NA (don't get to alaske or canada much either) the old .30-06 is plenty big enough. plus a fairly flat trajectory is a big plus

Christ Ripsnort!!!!.......you fire those thing from your truck? All you need is remote elevating and fireing so when some arse is tailgating you press a button and twin .50's aim at his head LOL

lord dolf vader · « **Reply #28 on:** August 29, 2002, 09:36:34 AM »

am wondering how the hell you have 2 m2s side by side on a swivel with off center recoil on a 50 cal it will break you wrists. looks non functional.

or are they syncronized? even if so you get a single dud round and blamo need new wrists.

Put 3 straight shots through the same bullet hole at 200 yards with this. I'll stick with it:
