If it's Africa we're talking about, then: 7mm Rem .375 H&H .458 Win If it's stateside, Canada and the Western Hemisphere, then; 22-250 7mm Rem .375 H&H That's based on financial reality, not what I would actually prefer for Africa. Based on complete fantasy, Iwould trade the .458 for a bespoke Holland LH 500NE. | |||

I cannot argue with this. Even if rimfires were included, I might choose the .223 TANSTAAFL | |||

Tough one, 4 would make it a lot easier, but for my area in the US and MY potential African hunting, I'd have to go with: .22 LR .300 Win Mag (although this could just as well be a .308 or .30-06) .375 H&H or equivalent I'd really like to have a .223 in there as well. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

What the hell. I'll play.  For everything on earth? .22 Long Rifle in an Anschutz 1416 or Weatherby Mark XXII .30-06 in an Ed Brown 702 or 704 .416 Rem. Mag. in a Win. M70 CRF For Africa only? .375 H&H Mag. in a Win. M70 CRF .416 Rem. Mag. in a Win. M70 CRF .500 A-Square in an AHR CZ 550 Magnum Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

buckeyeshooter: You came very close to my own choices. (I always liked Ohio)  I never even held a 470 NE, until I saw Africa. I fired my PH's 470 about 6 times or so - and discovered it was just great to shoot - same as my 375 - a push -rather than a mule's kick - and, believe me, I have shot calibers that I thought were like a mule's kick - and I am not particularly sensitive to recoil. Fact. (There is a world of difference between shooting a 338 Win. Mag. and a 375 H&H. THe former really kicks - to me anyway) So I'll have to root for OSU from now on. WE agree on what guns to have around! | |||

At first just one, an M16, with which to overthrow whatever morons would come up with such a thing as a 3 rifle limit. After that I would have whichever rifles I chose as a free person.

I don't know how I missed (this version of) this thread. This seems awfully easy to me, particularly if one factors in ammo availability. 1. .22LR 2. 30.06 3. .375 H&H Truth is, just about all more or less modern calibers will do whatever we need, so long as semi-reasonable constraints are observed (like: no 22-250's on hefalump). | |||

A fast count shows 42 of 118 posters (me too)chose some type of .22 (22, 223, 22-250, etc) as one of their three rifles. I'm favorably suprised at the poitive showing for the versitle little 22. Will J. Parks, III | |||
