+1 for the 308! My PH’s over there have all told me they despise rifles with loud brakes on them and a 308 with a good bullet will do anything short of dangerous game with ease. I’ve also asked them their preferred calibers for clients to show up with and the 308 is the overwhelming answer.
FWIW on long/difficult shots I’ve often had my PH lean on me as I’m on the sticks. It settles my body’s movements quite a bit and I believe helped me on a few longer shots. But as MD showed a second set of sticks under the armpit would surely aid that greatly.
GOOD LUCK!!!
