NitroX asked:
Stalker
What is the biggest calibre you currently own?
The reason I ask this, is that sometimes it makes sense to build recoil tolerance up step by step.
Also will you have a use for the caibre hunting at home, maybe moose?

NitroX:
Today I only have one rifle, and that is a .300 wby mag that I handle quite well. The recoil does not bother me very much. I've got this rifle to have a caliber that would work for all occasions in Norway. I've used it for moose, reindeer, elk and smaller game, even for birdhunting. I think it's a very versatile caliber, and it's built into a custom rifle that gives very acceptable precision. All in all, I have the gun I need for the hunting at home.
But some time during the next few years, my pal and I will go to Africa to hunt buffalo. Then I need something bigger, and I would also be happy with something hard hitting when I'm going out for the brown bear.
