After writing this thread and reading every single response and pondering about it, I went and read up and researched intensively. I went through the amazing Shooter's Bible, and after many hours of research and talking to many people, I decided on a Weatherby Vanguard Sporter Series 2 chambered in .270 Win.
I have not looked back a single day in my life and wished I had rather gone for any different caliber or rifle. My Weatherby has never failed me and I have had great success with the spectacular .270 round!
Throughout the years that have gone by, I've started adding to my setup on my rifle. I found and attached a bipod that we bought long ago, I put an old army rifle belt on, and I bought a cartridge pouch for the stock! We also bought a silencer from my great friend Nicol Brand at Next Level Silencers. They are surely the best in the local business, be sure to check their amazing products and technology out!
I will post a photo below of my rifle's current setup. During the past few years, I have taken about 2 springbuck, 2 blue wildebeest, a blesbuck, baboon and so forth with this rifle that I fell in love with the second that I held it in my hands!
I am surely going to write plenty more stories in the near future, I have a lot to write about and some catching up to do!
