What big bore to go for....
      08/09/12 04:32 PM



Hello all.

I am a great fan of the 9.3x62, use it for moose huning here in Norway and it is just great.

But, in Africa, I feel I will be needing something a bit larger.
Yes, I am sure a 9.3 buller of 286 gr will do fine, but it is not legal, 375 is the mi right?
And, even if it is legal, it is on the low side...

Am planing my first safari and Cap is on the list. The dream of a big bore is now more real than ever. For sure the 9.3x62 will come and also my new Mannlicher 1903 in 6.5x54. But, the big bore....???

What caliber? 10.75x68? 404? 416 Rigby? 450 Rigby? 495 A-Square or....

I am not sure, but a 450 caliber have more bullets to choosee from, so cheap traing bullets are around.
But, the 404 is a classic....I also like the 10.75x68, yes it is odd.

The rifle will be made, if it can be done, on a standard M98 action.
Not sure if the Rigby caliber will fitt....

All help, tip is great for me.

Cheers all, Vegard_dino
