Thank you for your reply was wondering if m 30-06 is good enough for plains game also are sabatti double rifles any good it seemed like the best quality for the prices I can afford. If you can give me any info on how to deal with dangerous game that would be great I've only had one charging razorback down here in Florida but it's no 2000 pound cape buffalo and I wasn't holding a 10lb cannon either any tips on keeping cool and keeping your aim straight.

Make sure you can out-run your PH.
Shooting practice.
There are some big bore shooting courses available if you have the time and money.

Welcome to AH, your 30-06 will be good enough for plainsgame.
For DG you really don´t need a .450NE, a .375HH will be enough.
What´s really important is correct bullet placement.

I suggest a 416 Rigby in a good bolt action w a 2-7 or at the most a 3-9 scope.
For plains game a 300 Winchester magnum is great using 180 gn bullets.
I suggest for dangerous game a control feed system rather than a push feed although there are many arguments over that.
