Hello guys! It's Ruan here. Please go read my latest hunting story - Warthog Hunt: Birthday Special. So I wanted to ask for some advice. I have been looking for a good all-round, long range rifle. It would have to be able to take at least a kudu/elk down, but it should not be too big. Dad has a Ruger 7x57 & a Pre 64 H&H .375 - I have been looking at a .243 and a .270 - both are about the same price. $670 approx. So I still need to buy the scope and stuff, and it will be my gun, but my dad will put it on my name when I'm 18 - only 4 years left. So can I have some opinions? Ammo? Grain? Velocity? What is the difference between .270 Win and WSM? etc. Which would be better for an all-round rifle? Both are about $650-680. I am collecting the parts, like the scope I will maybe get for Christmas, and I'm saving up to buy some more accessories. Any ideas on this? Thanks guys!
