If I had the money to get a real top end wood/blue gun like from D'Arcy Echols I would have a hard time, real hard, deciding from the 270, 300 H&H or 375 H&H. The 300 H&H just might win the day.
An aquantance had two Pre-war pre-64s restocked
.300hh and .375hh,
nice rigs but not what I would want to lug around...
The same in magnum Mauser configuration
with all the Safari features are even heavier.
a STD cal. Echols between .270 and 338-06 that's
lighter to carry / faster to swing more my cup of tea.
but still a bit full bodied for my liking. - Ralf Martini
