Thread: Rifle/ caliber opinions for bush and mountain

Ask 10 hunters, get 10 answers.

I agree that a magnum is not necessary for your needs (I have 2, so I’m not against them). .308 is probably the best chambering for a bush pig and will run to 500m if not too short (perhaps 18”). Or 7-08, or 6.5 Creedmoor. I mention these as ammo will be easier to find if you don’t load and components will be easier to find if you do.
