    i shoot a couple of Sav 99's and for a while had a Ruger 96/22m (22mag, and a Marlin 57M (22mag) The Marlin 57 was heavy and stable. The Ruger 96 was light and fast, great on goats at short range...

    Don't get hung up on calibre. First time shooter I would suggest stepping down a little from the 308 unless its in a heavier rifle, (not that it's a bad choice) and look at 243 or 7M08. Stick to...

    I love my 358win in Sav 99 but with full power loads it would not be my first choice as a short range quick fire rifle, just too much recoil. For that the 243 is much nicer to use. Or look at the...

    My 2 cents, The 308 family (243, 260, 7M08 and 308 and the CM's ) with correct bullet selection will work out to 500 mtr. But you do need the higher BC bullets (definitely in the 6 and 6.5mm sizes)...

    I have a Burris veracity 2-10x42 which I use on my lever gun, really great looking into the dark spots around the bush margins in poor light and easily enough scope for my 300mtr limit on that gun. ...

    Thanks trapperjohn, i missed that thread. I did a forum search on the hut name not on the road. Thanks guy's, 4wd Ute but I'm conservative with where i go as I don't have recovery gear or winch. Z
