Hi Todd,

Thank you for your reply, The area I will be hunting is Karelia, near the border with Finland.

I haven't gotten it sorted unfortunately, recent family events put me out of action in summer and I'm taking my 30.06 loaded with 220 grain partitions.

I have driven moose hunting and Camel culling lined up for next year and so am still looking for the right heavy rifle, I take your comments on the difference between the 375 and 416 on board.

I think a compromise may be to get a 9.3x62 for use abroad and at home and a 458 lott and up something purely for trips abroad.

Thanks again.

Best,

Amir
