22 mag. You can kill anything in the world with it, plus you can carry lots of ammo for cheap.

If I remember right your living in Turkey, how is it for getting a rifle imported? I would think that would play a large part in the decision. From your pics I would shooting a 338 Lapua or a 338 Norma, you have some huge long range potential!

Right now I think for myself I would run something like what Len is selling in the LRH store but chambered in a 338 Norma Mag and made to a little lighter specs. I think a guy could do a little more hunting on foot but still have a very long range capable rig!

Any good rifle chamber in 338win.

Unless you hand load, choose one with a good supply of quality ammunition.

7mm, 30 cal, and 338 cal are all available with good long range bullets in a wide variety of high performance cartridges.

But, your choices for factory ammo in Turkey are probably different from here in the US.

I agree with the 338. Since you can buy 338RUM ammo at a store, that would be my choice, that or the 338 Lapua. If not one of these, the 338 Win Mag.gun)

Winchester Model 70 .30-06.

Exactly!

 

[Kalashnikov]

308 Winchester M70 or M700 or M98, 24" barrel with detachable magazine. I do not see much I could not hunt in the world with this rifle and the right bullet.

I like the looks of the SSG 08 myself. I would get the 338 Lapua Mag since that is a popular caliber over seas. That thing has huge potential to rock any Ibex you want to put down as far as you want to shoot (within reason).

I like your choice, I am a 338 fan, shot a 340WM FOR 20+. Now it is my sons, Working on my Norma.I use to to shoot everything w/340
