Greetings Newbie from Pretoria - New to Hunting Rifles

[RPreto]

Hi All, have not owned a Rifle for most of my adult life. Finally bought 2 rifles form a retired family friend about 3 yrs back and only now starting to get into this and taken both rifles to the range for the first time about a month ago. Its a 1994 BRNO ZKK601 in .243 Win and a custom built .308. I was told the .308 has a "Wilson" barrel ? with a mauser 98 Action... Both barrels have now been threaded for suppressors.

Both those rifles should be excellent for hunting a wide variety of game, the .243 is low recoil, "flat shooting", perfect for American Pronghorn, a/k/a antelope, and technically enough for deer, black bear, and elk, though I'd personally prefer the .308 for deer and anything bigger.

Now you just need a shotgun for birds, and a .375 for African dangerous game and you could hunt anything in the world!
