New rifle calibre options: 6.5x55 vs 7/08

I suggest buying a sweet lever action. Because they're much cooler than Another Boring Bolt Action.

Go to the penthouse girl of the month and order a .500Ne double rifle like the one shown there. All your mates will be either jealous or have a crap taste in guns :D

See, we are all very helpful. You came asking about buying one more rifle, in only a few short hours we have you well on the way to buying at least 3 :thumbsup:

Its a terrible affliction! 3 weeks ago when I got my .375 I was convinced I didn't need any more rifles, I have now convinced myself I have at least 2 calibre gaps! Dammit! Wife is gonna be pissed!

not to long ago i popped a red hind standing in the bush using my open sighted 30 30 trapper. outstanding result from a 16inch barrel.

you've obviously already forgotten the discussion we had at the range about charging pigs :P

My .444 load makes ME 3072 a 168gr 7-08 ME 2426. The.444 has energy and momentum in bucket loads for bush hunting. A visual comparison below.
