Some things to consider:

I'm only five feet tall and not very strong.

I can't see very well, so I may need a scope or something.

I will buy off the shelf ammo cuz I'm likely to blow myself up if I try to load my own.

I'm allergic to leather, wood, and synthetic oil.

I could hire a guy to carry my gun if advisable.

Thanks for the advice.

What's with all the funky machining on the bolt?

According to my calculations, with the load mentioned, that rifle would generate 79 ft/lbs of recoil energy and 29 fps recoil velocity. Pretty close to my limit, even when I was young and fit.

I don't know where you're located, but a plane ticket to my location would not be much of an outlay, considering the probable cost of getting the wrong rifle and having to return it. I own just about every heavy game rifle there is, and would be happy to let you try them all out on my home range, so you don't have to speculate as to which one fits you best and which one you can shoot the best with. PM me if you're interested.

Aside from being a troll, you are a disingenuous individual intent upon spreading FUD who also suffers from a severe reading comprehension deficit.

When you refer to the Bongo as "critically endangered non-dangerous game in the rain forest" you know well that the IUCN classifies only the eastern or mountain bongo of Kenya - which has been closed to all trophy hunting since 1977 - as critically endangered.

The western or lowland Bongo, commonly known as forest Bongo, are, in fact, classified by the same IUCN as near threatened on the conservation status scale. That classification ranks just above least concern , which is the lowest classification where enough data exists to place an animal into the IUCN system. You also know that there are five classifications more serious on their conservation status scale.

So, in conclusion, not only are you a troll but you are also a liar of the worst kind. Why are you on AR? Clearly you have nothing constructive to contribute. And as to "narcissistic bullshit" you should invest in a dictionary, although I'm sure you know bullshit when you smell it; after all, you sling it around AR with abandonment.

Everyone on AR needs to understand what this guy is and, please,
