I agree D. 6.5x55 is a great all purpose rifle. Maybe that's what in hindsight I should have done - But where's the fun in that...

Or you can be like me and buy a 7mm Rem Mag, then go Hmmm I need something a bit cheaper to run that's not a coffee a shot and too long climbing in the supplejack and buy a 700BDL in 223 (similar flat shooting characteristics) , then realise its actually too nice to smash around in the bush with (and believe me it is!) and then decide to go 300BLK for the bush pig.... and maybe a nice black gun to plink rounds with well that would be nice too.

That's before I even bore you with my 22lr journey (onto rifle three, keeping 2 of them) and shot guns where now a fantastic Fabarm XLR resides in the safe but I've an eye for a nice miruku U/O in the background...

And that's how you fill the first safe and start on the second... But i bet there's no one else who would have it any other way, rifle ownership is a journey - It'd be no fun if you didn't savour it!!!
