[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 3053585, member: 87371"] I lived in East Africa for several years in the early seventies, and did my first safaris with a 7 mm Rem. magnum. i had hunted with it in California and knew it would reach out and knock things down, so was happy with it until i began to shoot Cape Buffalo. For that i was fortunate to find a pre-64 model 70 in .375 H&H that was in pretty good shape, and discovered that it was a very good long range rifle. In the past 15 years i have had 4 shoulder replacements and find magnums uncomfortable. I have picked up 2 Howa actions now -- a 1500 in 6.5 Creedmor and a mini in .223.I think i'll retire the larger calibers. Age catches up with us. [/QUOTE]
