African Safari Rifles
Hunting Rifle; what to look for?
Hi. I'd like to know what are the basic things, transcending personal taste, that one should look for in a big-bore hunting rifle (for using on African Safari, the Big 5, for example).
I do not know too much so please keep it simple. It seems that a telescopic sight is a must, as is a carefully fitted firearm.
I understand calibre and ammuntion types are personal taste to a certain degree but what are the main players? Also, what rifle brands are always heard of in these circles?
Bolt Action only? Magazine size? Stock type? Following an earlier question I have learned that I like a stock called 'Machlinner (sp)', where the whole barrel is encased in wood- could you have a rifle like this?
Please help a complete novice understand how it works. Thanks!
Try a Winchester 300 mag. Good all round gun with a large knock down power. If you really want to kill something big like an elephant try the .577 T-rex
