Thread: Whats your rifle of choice for stalking?

I do 95pcent of all my hunting bush stalking. i use a 243, 100gr fed powershoks. ITS AWESOME. Hant lost one deer yet with that set up. Totally under rated for a bush gun. Dont have to shoot them in the neck either, shoulder shot will blow them over no problems. Biggest stag this roar was 140kg ish, one shot in shoulder it went 10m. Dont need a 308 or anything bigger, a 243 will do the job fine if you use good ammo that do the damage. Still, nothing wrong with a 308, 7m08, 2506, 260 3006. Whatever you prefer, but i hear more stories of the one that got away or ran quite a few metres with the guys that use 308 or bigger than i would ever dream of with my 243. I hit it , its dead
