And after all these years I will 100% stick by these.
7x57
9,3x62
.450-.400 3&1/4”

I might just change the 9,3 to a FN similar to the 7mm with a 3-9x36 or 40 scope on.

[ftrovato]

257 Weatherby
340 Weatherby
500 NE.
For me, these cover anything and everything I will ever hunt. But really, who wants to own just 3 hunting rifles?!?!?! ;-)

 

[Niklas]

6.5x55 the ”original” long distance cartridge and perfect for small to midsized animals

9.3x62 for the slightly larger animals. Probably the best cartridge ever invented (especially with hand loads)

470NE for anything that wants to kill me…

[Mark R]

250-3000
338WM
416RM

 

[375Ruger416]

22 LR
6.5 PRC
300 PRC

When I make it to Africa, I hope to add a 375 Ruger to my collection. First trip is going to be for plains game, so don’t need a 375 or bigger anyhow.

Find myself looking at the metal engraving on Gunwerks Skuhls all the time. Would be a great rifle for a trip to Africa, but would be the cost of a trip or two to Africa!
