HK416

What really got me keen on this rifle was a omment by another hunter about using such a rifle as a plains game rifle.

Now I have never really thought of a double as a plains game rifle before but if you use it as a single shot, why not?

If you can develop a lighter faster load with a good trajectory and accuracy, put a scope on the rifle. Sight the "plains game" load in for the scope and away you go.

Sight in the express sights for a 410 grainer and you have a close-in (up to 150 metres) dangerous game load.

And a takedown, easy to travel with to boot. Great stuff.

Of course there are issues with having two or three sets of ammo but whats the difference to taking with two different rifles? You have to carry two with you that way.

Definitely the concept has got the thought processes going.

Hal,

what is your U/O 9.3x74mmR? And what do you use it for?

Sounds like a great rig for medium sized game.
