I hunted these three extensively this year.

Koedoe and buff with the 450-400 3&2/4”
4 x impala with the 7mm FN
Didnd fire the 9,3x62, but dit 30 odd km with her.

Nowadays most hunting happens with my Tikka CTR .308 - client rifle and bushpig rig with a thermal followed by my .416 Ruger for everything and my 6,5x57 Brno Mod 21.

The first three are still the favourites.
 
416 Remington Magnum would have to be the most versatile cartridge



Run the lighter projectiles for small game like rabbits and foxes then step it up to 400s and 450s for heavy game



Shoots as flat with a 400 as the 375HH does with the 300



And lighter to carry when compared to 375 HH in same rifle



Mild to shoot in a well set up rifle



What’s not to love
 
Hello Dewald,

GREAT RIFLES for two of my favorite cartridges you have!!!! If I would be able to choose, your FN 7x57 and your Original Sporting Oberndorf Model A Mauser 9,3x62 would be my choice, indeed!!!
Congratulations
By the way, and after have other top binoculares, all 10x42, like my formers Leica BA and Zeiss Victory HT, and after selling a Swarovski Habicht WGA 10x40, because seems redundant...I ended buying, again, a new Habicht (made in 2019) and selling the Victory HT...To me, one of the best all around hunting binoculares. Made like a tank and with optics second to none! Seems you agree...
