Being a poor man (the claim was good enough for Taylor and Keith and is more applicable to me), I try to find my guns second-hand. And, as with the colour of s/h cars, it's best not to be too prescriptive, so I let luck take a hand.

But since you're building your own, Tophet1, I'd select the calibre that feeds best from the action you prefer. I like the FN look of the Zastavas but have heard some doubt their quality. Are they reliable enough for dangerous game? Are you practised enough with long actions to risk
African shortstroke or should you go with the short-action 458 Win?
