Sorry to hear about health struggles. Went through a few of those in recent years. Hope it gets better soon.

I'd probably stick with what I've got in most areas CZ550 in .375, bought for a buffalo hunt in Australia that never came to be (mother got sick, then COVID, then i ended up with knee replacement) bought for relative ease of finding ammunition and low recoil as DG rifles go. Probably won't hunt...

Italian, Greek or Thai. I've had the first two in the respective countries, but Thai is a taste acquired in the states.

If only 4.... .22LR .30-06 or .308 .375 H&H 12 gauge

I've got two safes and working on a third. Mostly antique revolvers these days, but a new shotgun this week and a rifle next week.

If money were no object, I'd take a couple of younger guys I hunt with on a dream hunt to Africa. If money were no object and my knees and back were 20 years younger, I'd go after Cape Buffalo and elephant, followed up by Australian buffalo and red ox.

CZ550 in .375 H&H and CZ 557 in .30-06. Hadn't shot either one in more than a year due to health and surgery. Took the '06 out Saturday and rang a 6 inch gong 15 times straight at 235 yards. Will try with the .375 in a couple of weeks.

I don't regret selling a rifle, but i sold a little Taurus 85 ultra-lite several years ago to help finance a new gun purchase. Wish i had that little Taurus back

Got my butt handed to me by a (supposedly) dead turkey. Ripped my jeans from crotch to knee with his spurs before I could break his neck. Fortunately they were heavy jeans with long underwear underneath. No lasting damage to anything but my pride.

Went this evening. I didn't shoot. My job was mentoring a friend's 13 year old son on his first hunt of any kind. Boy got 4 birds. Dad and big brother got 24 between them. No one limited, but everyone had a good time.

Only slightly larger than the White Rhino. I think any of the Nitro Express Calibers could handle him.

You should be fine with a 28. I went down to 20 a few years ago, but I still hunt pheasant and chukkar.
