No, I'd prefer something with a little more power. 375 H&H, or any of the 416's.

Buffalo hunter.....I agree with you 100%. I also agree with you regarding the 30-06 being just about the best rifle/cartridge to get any job done. More so in North America. IN Africa, I wouldnt be that good of a shot, so I need a little more "omph" to get the job done. I'd feel pretty good with a good .338 Win Mag, but I understand that caliber is too small and illegal for big game in Africa.

I agree with shot placement and getting close. Why do you think the past 4 years I've been taking everything from CA mule deer, 3 black bears, and 5 hogs all with my .243!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that gun. Nothing beats shot placement. Nothing.

i would do it. if the first shot doesn't put him down the 2nd 3rd of 4th will but i'm pretty confident that the first one would do the trick.
