Keep your options open on caliber and rifle brand and buy a good second hand rifle. Put the savings into better glass or buy yourself some reloading gear. Plenty of guys bore quickly and sell...

Apparently if you carry an ice axe when doing your training walks, fully loaded pack and in ya tacticool clothing makes you fitter, stronger better. Not too much ice up Gisborne way or Mt Kaukau...

My 16" 308 with suppressor is nicely balanced for shooting and carrying. It propels a 168 ELD-M at about 2550 fps and has taken animals out to 440 yards (further than I would normally shoot). The 16"...
