Ross,

Does the fact that a contributor has used or will use 3-4 different types of bolt actions foul up the results? I guess the one that shows up most often still is the winner.

I vote OTHER! because my bolt DGRs are all either Whitworth, or FN Mausers, and I shoot them quite well!

Mark,
Just vote for the one that you would use if you were only taking one gun to hunt buff/lion/ele/hippo.

Ross,

Not to be difficult but if you include elephant and hippo I'd pick my MK X Mauser and you have no choice for the many Mauser clones.

It would depend on what time of day,what day of the week and what I had for breakfast as to what I would pick for any given hunt . I own several different makes that are on the list and several that are not. I NEVER know what I will use next. From the time I get up from the chair until the time I open the gunsafe I may change my mind several times.

Use Enough Gun

I have both Winchesters and Rugers in my DG bolt action arsenal, but since the Winchesters outnumber the Rugers, I had no choice in my pick. . .

.404 Jeffrey for everything.

The only bolt rifle I have used in Africa was a Blaser R 93.
I did not shoot DG with it, that is what double rifles are for.
