I would take a 416 Rigby in a magnum Mauser action or a worked P14/M17 action stocked by Gordon Cussins in Tasmania. This is a classic calibre and about my recoil tolerance and works on everything from Rabbits to Elephant.

The second rifle would be a 358/338RUM on a P14/M17 action. Not a classic callibre but a classic rifle, stocked by Gordon Cussins. Works on everything from rabbit to, in some countries, Elephant. To be classic in calibre I would make that a 350 Rigby but loaded to potential. In some countries they have a minimum power level for El not min calibre and my 358/338RUM makes the power level.

For the pot it would probably be a 22 Hornet on a 303 Action. Why, well classic calibre and classis action and they shoot.

Why the P14/M17 action. Yes, it is big and heavy but it works flawlessly, is reliable and can take just about any round made for hunting. I like the ergonomics of the action.

Unfortunately, Gordon is in semi-retirement and only doing chosen stocks.
