One rifle/cartridge for everything from Antelope/Whitetail, to most of the African Big Five. I haven’t made that African trip yet, and probably never will....but, it’s worked quite well for everything I’ve hunted in North America! memtb Maybe it’s just me but a post like this drives me bonkers. What is the cartridge you speak of haha? .375 AI.....my only “hunting” rifle since February of 1990. At 9 pounds 2 ounces (scoped/loaded/slung), it light enough for most any hunting situation....though sheep and Mountain Goats would be a little more challenging at my age. A few prairie dogs, fox, and coyotes, and a fare selection of big game have been taken with it. If I hadn’t bought a big pile of 250 TTSX’s (running 3160 mv) quite a while back.....I’d probably even suggest that I could use one bullet type/weight for everything. If Barnes will ever bring out a LRX in something around 290 to 300 grains....then I’d say one bullet for everything! memtb You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel “I’d like to be a good rifleman…..but, I prefer to be a good hunter”! memtb 2024
