    6.5-06 for me. 6.5 has a zillion projectile choices, and 06 gives the extra grunt. Vary the pill for different game

    World gun is hard to choose because what I would want for hunting in the States/Canada is different to what I'd want for Africa. So then...

    America
    Rem Titanium SA, 7mm SAUM 24" braked S&B PMII 4-16

    Africa
    Custom Titanium Mauser, 338 Win Mag 24" Swaro 2-7ish? Like the below but with a nice Walnut stock.

    Yeah same as me, only big 5 I would like is a buff, probably in real terms you could take one with a 338 but legally the .375 is the minimum but they do make an exception for the 9.3x62.

    Wow. Didn't know there was a minimum Cal. 210gr TSX would do the biz I'm sure. Maybe an NT buff hunt then.

    Normie, pretty unusual for people to hunt Zebra, imo does not taste good at all. Not considered dangerous game, so any antelope caliber should be fine. Warthog on the other hand is some of the tastiest meat you will ever eat, and fun to hunt.

    VC, two exceptions: 375 and 9.3x62, otherwise most countries prefer you go .4xx or bigger.

    Everyone knows there's no such thing as Just One Rifle!

    A man buys a Rifle, takes it home and puts it in the safe, opens the door a couple of days later and Bugger Me! there's two of the bastards in there.

    Close the door again, open it a few days later and what do you know .......................more bloody rifles.

    Pretty soon said man is having to buy a new safe to accommodate the growing collection.

    Thats just how it is ............. almost like a law of the universe or something

    They tell me Gazelle is very nice too.

    I've just had one of your countrymen make me some Biltong using some Sika Venison I got recently.

    I only had two things to say once I tasted it and that was

    MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

    And

    Step away from my Biltong!

    Cheers
