I own (also..) a Blaser R8 in 7mmRM that I guess will fit well to most plains games and I can easily transform it in a .40 caliber just buying the proper barrel.
My preferred trophies would be Kudu, Oryx, Sable, Warthog, Eland, Springbok, Impala and at the top: buffalo. Non attracted by cats and other dangerous games, but no one can tell at the moment..
Welcome to AH Lorenzo! Glad you're enjoying the site. Hope you'll share also some hunting pictures from Italy with us. looking forward to having you on the board.
Welcome to AH Lorenzo. Lots of African PG has been taken with a 7 MM Mag. Is it the optimal caliber? I'd have to say no, the ability to change calibers by switching out the barrel is an awesome idea.

There are a lot of calibers that come to mind. My minimum for PG would be a 30-06 on up to a 9.3 x 74. Ammo availability needs to factor into your choice of calibers. If you are harboring any thoughts of a Cape Buffalo or other Dangerous Game (DG) you will need a 375, whether a H & H Magnum or a Ruger. Of those two, there is a greater selection of bullets and a much wider availability of ammo for the 375 H & H Magnum. I'm sure you will be inundated with others favorites.
