For what purpose? Dangerous game in close cover? Most would say a DR. Cape Buffalo? Again, most would say a DR, but given the pugnacious and determined nature these critters are reputed to display, and stories about them soaking up several rounds at close range, perhaps the added capacity of a bolt? In short, there is not a definitive answer but a never ending debate.

I love my DRs, but a good bolt is a thing of joy and beauty as well. Today was sight in new scope on my Sauer 202 take down, one barrel in 375 H&H, one in 300 Win Mag. The gun goes together like nicely without tools and the action is, as said, like butter. Dead reliable feed and after a half box to zero the 375 barrel, and then take the scope on and off to check that it was holding the zero when reattached (it was, thank you EAW) the 300 Win Mag bbl and just picked up the dot above the zero for the flatter trajectory but dead on. Then over to my Time Precision 22, a precision tool indeed for something completely different. A box of Midas Master L at 100 yards produced a series of one holes in mulitple bullseyes at 100 yds. Fun fun fun. So is a bolt as fine an instrument as a good DR? In my opinion, yes.

Of course, I finished the day with five rounds through the 476 WR. That cleared the snot out for the trip home.

Variety is the spice of life. Dave
