Welcome to AH.

Buy yourself the 30-06. If you find that you are sensitive to its recoil, though not many are, then get a limbsaver recoil pad installed and I can assure you that any woman or young teen would have no issue shooting it.

Welcome to Ah...

I'm not sure on what license you need to stalk a wife....good luck...

Also, I believe this would fall under dangerous game and not plains game!

Howzit all,

I'm Snowbeast from kwa-zulu Natal South Africa.

I've grown up in the bush in KZN and love the outdoors.
I haven't hunted since 2010 as I moved into the city to find myself a wife.

I currently own a 1982. 22 brno and a PSE dream season evo bow.

My draw to hunting is the day spent in the bush walking and stalking. The meat is a bonus.
I only shoot what I can eat, it's personal preference and I hold no grudges against other hunters as long as it's not canned hunting.

I am looking for a new rifle for general purposes. Where I have access to hunting is a mixture of bush and open plains. I'm drawn to the. 308, would love a 30-06 but am worried about the recoil as I haven't shot much in ages. To confuse me further I like the 270 calibe, 7x57 and 6x55.

Look forward to reading an interacting on the forum!


Cheers

I'm from kzn as well. I suggest go for the 3006 as well. Loaded with 165gr or 168gr premium bullets this is all you will need. Recoil is manageable. I'm also a biltong hunter. Hope you enjoy the site.

Welcome aboard! Agreed with many that the 30.06 is a good choice!
