Interesting that you place difficulty in one aspect of a sport as the most important thing. A baseball player barely needs to break a sweat. Table Tennis needs more co-ordination and we are not listing these players here. Who plays baseball anyway? Cuba?

The ability to take bullets heavier than 180gr swings it in favour of the 30-06. You have long plains covered with the 270 so set the 30-06 up with 220gr and make it a dedicated close range gun.

Hahahahahaha When someone writes this you then have to look at everything they say as a joke. You cant be serious.

I write from a point of view that the hardest sports in the world are Waterpolo and Rugby. Peter Steff Du Tiot = Male Maggie Steffans - Female

You sound well sorted, take one rifle each and have fun ! E-Cape has longer shots than the bushveld, but those can take anything under 300m , even the Grand Slam will work if you place it right. Bullets slow down and you are not worried about meat damage, so softer bullets should not be an...

I have a group of hunting mates that only target Eland every year, one uses a 7mm Rem Mag with Nosler Partitions, old school but he has not failed yet.

Caliber is fine, bullet choice is not. Load the A Frame or something tougher and there is no reason it wont take anything on your list with a good shot .

My opinion is jaded.... You should be fine with the "system" working but you are probably better with a fixer. It also opens up the secondary market that we all dont want.

CZ hahaha

The .250 Savage is just an over fast 6.5 Grendel. Rather shoot the heavier slower bullets, I went down this route trying to find the ideal impala rifle and the .250 usually comes in barrel twists that do not work with the 120gr bullets. No problem with the Grendel.

6.5 Grendel or 6x45

The .243 and Springbok are synonymous. And this is our national animal afterall. You guy will wish you had a .243 on the 16th August when the boks demolish you at Ellis Park. I'll be in the stands watching the massacre. I hunt a lot on dual use farms in the Karoo , not dedicated hunting...
