Another "What rifle would you use" thread - Tiny 10 specifically

[Shootist43]

My vote would be for the 6.5 x 55 with a 140 Gr. SAF or Nosler Partition. But than again some would say I'm partial towards that caliber. Generally extremely accurate, penetrates into next week with mild recoil. "Nuff said."

...you are headed for a bergstutzen in .35Whelen & 6,5x55

I would love to own a bergstutzen! just a pity they are pricey.

Mine would be in 9.3x74R and 6.5x57R or 6.5x65R.

I'd probably go for my 7x64 with 160gr Accubonds or maybe 165gr soft points

Thanks to each of you for the responses. A special thanks to those who actually chose from the list of calibers I listed as available in my current arsenal.

I’m going to go with the 35 Whelen for the first 4 animals and the 6.5x55 for the small stuff as IvW suggested. If my ammo is lost I can always borrow a rifle from my PH since I know what they have in camp.

I shot a steenbuck with my 300WM last year using a 180g GMX. Let’s just say I’d like to avoid that messy result next year!
