I have had a thread similar to this before, but would like to present it again for various reasons. Thoughts on the .458 Win Mag as an Elephant/Cape Buff/Dangerous 5 rifle? Wouldn't mind getting the caliber change kit for a Stevens 200, but dont want to waste my time if im gonna be bouncing...

Thanks everyone I have taken into account everything I have been told, but have a few more questions that could possibly aid in my decision being made. What kind of accuracy could I expect with good ammo and the 458 lott in a CZ 550? That is if I do my part. I though some of you would...

I'm new here, but I'm sure this question has been asked over a million times. Before I ask, if you have any info that could be profitable to my question in regards to the answer, please dont hesitate to post it. Now, I'm gonna get a "Dangerous Game" rifle and cant decided on caliber. This is...
