I'm in the planning faze of a new rifle and am after the advice and input from the fellow members on here.
Whats in the planning is a safari rifle.
Last time I went to Africa I took a rem 700 in .308 which did a great job. Although something with a bit more stopping power would be ideal.
Plus it has to be very accurate.
The key to this one is I'm looking at a left handed action.
All thoughts appreciated.
Kind Regards
Rob

I took a Sako TRG in 416 Rem Mag!!!
Overgunned yes but I was taking single shot kills to 360 yds (on a Springbok)
I'd reckon a 7mm Rem Mag is what you'd do well with.

What do you want: Long range shooting on soft skinned targets or close stopping power on big horned or tusked?

Kimber Montana in .300 WSM. Light, powerful, modern super strong materials and gracefull.......
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
