North American single shot. Vintage vs New? Caliber?
      27/04/10 10:39 AM

Hi,

I need some help in choosing a single-shot rifle. It will primarily be used in North America for
deer, pronghorn & elk. I do go to Africa, so it might make a trip or two there for antelope?

I have some other vintage doubles (Lancaster, H&H) & shotguns, so I do have an affinity for
older, functional firearms. However I would like to have it scoped (eyes aren't as good as they once were).
Really hate to bugger up a nice vintage rifle? However I have even thought about Dakota No. 10's or
selecting a used Martini Hagn or other recent made single-shot?

As far as caliber, if I pick up a nice vintage single-shot I would probably look at .303 British
or something similar. I know of a nice 400/350 Rigby that might be available, is this a
reasonable caliber for my purposes? I really don't know anything about the 400/350 ballistics.
If I went with a new rifle I would lean toward a 300 H&H or even 30-06, 270,...

Please let me know any opinions you might have. Thanks for your help.

Jim

(Hopefully you'll see some nice trophy photo's with the new rifle sometime)

P.S. If someone has a rifle that might be perfect, go ahead & contact/PM me
