    Big Bores for small things

    l got a small Fallow with my 425 Express just the other day... The 360gn Atomic29 copper hollowpoint at 2500fps did the trick... (y)

    Cartridges you just hate

    I don't 'hate' any cartridges and l would hunt with anything, there are a few however that don't really do anything for me though... .25-06 (or any other .25) - IMO don't do anything a .270 doesn't do better 6.5x55 - Don't hate it, just doesn't do anything for me 7mm Rem Mag - Ballistics don't...

    What are your not-negotiables for a rifle?

    You know Bob, there's a saying... 'On a good day ANYTHING will work... but on a bad day you need every advantage you can get.' Not only are Sambar big and tough, but the environment they live in is thick and hard to track. Also, the only shot you might get is on a running deer - and for a...

    What are your not-negotiables for a rifle?

    Yep, I used a .Winchester M70 in 338WM as my deer/ Sambar rifle with 180gn Woodleigh's at 3100fps and 225gn Woodleigh's at 2800fps and it was excellent. I love the .338WM... awesome cartridge (y) Russ

    What are your not-negotiables for a rifle?

    l disagree. While we hadn't reached our spot, we were still walking in legal hunting area and there was a chance of seeing a deer at any time. So l had no problem with my mate having his magazine in his rifle... except it wasn't... it was laying on the ground.

    What are your not-negotiables for a rifle?

    Mate, Speaking of the .25's they have never appealed to me at all... In all the rifle's l've ever owned l've only ever had a couple of .25's... One was a .303-25 built on a Arisaka action that was the absolute biggest POS I've ever owned and couldn't wait until it was out of my safe - but the...

    Big Bores for small things

    l think that the .458 certainly counts as a big bore (y)

    What are your not-negotiables for a rifle?

    You're right mate, in the past l have... but l'm sick of buying and selling guns l just want to use the ones l've got. l reckon this .308 will be a keeper though... it's light, handy and looks good to my eye - and the .308 is perfect for the deer hunting l do. And like you said it'll be prefect...

    What are your not-negotiables for a rifle?

    This is my only criticism of my new to me Marlin XS7 in .308. The safety doesn't lock the bolt... (n) Russ
