Welcome to the Campfire!! What and where do you hunt?? Preferred rifle and shotgun??

Thanks for the welcome, I am new at this forum.
i hunt mostly in Italy and east europe (romania, bulgaria, lettonia etc)for red deer, raw deer, chamois, wild boars, bears and wolf. My favourite rifle? if only one the choice is for my 300 h&h dakota hand loaded with accubond 200 gr. It's enough gun for everything in europe, but I love also a lot my cz (customized by a good italian gunsmith) in 9,3x62. As shotgun: cosmi 12 gauge!
ciao,
paolo

Ciao Paolo, bella raggione quella vicina di Domodossola. A fato l'autista quindici anni nel tutta Europa e in Italia. Dall Syracusa in Sicilia fino all Trentino passendo tra Liguria, Pi�monte, Emilia, etc...

Trucking with a thermo controlled trailer bringing meat and fish from France or Spain or England and loading cheese, prosciutto, salame, panetonne, vegetables or fruits from Italy to Europe.

Welcome from a french guy from Massilia, una piccola Sicilia....
Good calibers choice you did: two old classic great cartridges. Use also a Cosmi 20gauge, standard model.

grazie Marseille.
your town, Marsiglia, is really beautifund and really "una piccola Sicilia"

I like old classic caliber and I use mostly them (also 8x57jrs, 7x57, 7x57 r, and 6,5x55) even if I have many other more recent and performant.

cosmi is really something different among the shotgun. I love it!
