    I use a 270 and hand load 150 gr projectiles for and it does the job well but if I was after a Tahr gun it would be a 7mm Rem Mag at a minimum for the extra knock down power and range. I don't like noise so a suppressor is a must for me.

    The setup won't be specifically for Tahr, I can see it becoming an allrounder. Having said would the .270 be a better option?

    No. Don't bother with 270 is my advise, 7RM does everything much better with less boot and no gay stigma attached.

    Not in my opinion
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Have you never been called gay for owning a 270?

    No I mean he should get a 7 rem mag over .270 - you just beat me to it

    4-16 would be sweet, just get comfy shooting 200m+ and learn your incline and decline adjustments, as they were the biggest reason I saw people missing
